Hmmm...its just one...one...of many travesties unfolding in this country...(or should i say, has unfolded, but continues to self destruct despite knowing better)...
The many facets of Aged care...NBN...our manufacturing industry...Agricultural industry...Mining industry..Indigenous affairs...NDIS....etc etc etc...
This entire country is suffering from its own stupid greed, & willingness to be blinded by these so called "Governments" that rule us...
We've developed such a righteous attitude for wealth that we think we are "owed" the right to wealth, & at any cost...!!...even to our very own cost FFS...!!!
Hell, i even think them releasing all these strains of Calici virus will haunt us in the decades & centuries to come...our environment has changed--because of us...!!__& we are hell bent on some ridiculous drive of denial to get it back to where it was--
--...so much effort into new strains of virus' for killing rabbits, that are now a staple food source of not only invasive species, but also of Native's as well...but cats--the worst species we have here,--well--they're too hard, so lets spend some money on advertising, dribble a smidge into R&D, & convince people were trying...
Hell, Ive seen foxes stalking roos & sheep where once were small populations of rabbits would ease lamb losses...
We put so much effort into backward bureaucracy that any form of greater common good is long gone...
Its all about "who is right"...nothing to do with "what is right"...
I believe we have backed ourselves into a corner...like the Vietnam war where differentiating between southern Vietnamese & Vietcong was impossible, resulting in not knowing who you are fighting or who to trust--we're fighting ourselves, for ourselves, against ourselves, & thus, we cant even trust ourselves--being able to see right from wrong is impossible with all the power hungry narcissists backed up 30 to the dozen for their own slice of fame & power...
Anyone who is, or would be there for the tru greater good, will be shut down, drowned out, & made to look the enemy by the narcissist totalitarian power chasers...
I think one of the last ones we had, Mr Midnight Oil himself, went in with every confidence he would make a difference...well...by allowing the likes of Shortens need & sickening enjoyment for destructive games, didnt we show him what "real politics" is all about...!!
I have no doubt he walked out staring at his feet & shaking his head in utter disgust...
We rip out orchards & let thousands of tonnes of oranges rot on the ground while we import oranges from another country...literally...!!!...i mean come on...!!!
Could you imagine telling that tale to someone, anyone, who lived through the depression, & those who literally died in wars so we could make our own good life......?...
...wasnt that long ago--& look at what we've done since...
.....what...?...Medicare...?...yet low income people's teeth fall out because we cant afford Dental care, due to the "Government" backed criminal extortion that Private health is...!!...
The fact we have self-destructed our own car manufacturing industry, yet still have to pay tarrifs on imported cars--and not to detract from the subject of this thread--water/our life blood the Murray Darling Basin--are testament to how honorary this country is to its very own people...!!!
We have...or had...THE single best piece of dirt sitting above sea level, with absolutely EVERYTHING at our finger tips---we should have the Chinese on our payroll defending our shores because every single person on earth wants to come live here...instead...were self destructing...raping ourselves, our land, & our oceans...and whats more, we're doing it at such an alarming rate, its truly embarrassing...!!
Hmmm...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
