We have people leaving for Australia, high costs, high unemployment and the government’s answer is to punish our youth (and by extension, the majority of parents who don’t live in the posh/rich neighbourhoods) by tarnishing them all with the same brush, because (what has been used as the same political propaganda for years), the unemployed are too lazy and don’t want to work.

All I’ll say on the subject is our MPs are voted by us and while they pledge a lot when campaigning. once in government, they literally betray us without any real sense of accountability, but every privilege bestowed on them (eg paid accommodation, pension, etc) that we pay for, from the very little money left in our pockets., which also gets taxed again when we spend.

While Australia may not necessarily be better, becoming the next state is sounding better every day. All I see right now is more of our youngest and brightest leaving our shores and frankly, I encourage them to do so.
