Our arrogance and sense of entitlement, lack of free speech, crime and disrespect, POLITICIANS, POLITICIANS!!!

And probably a sh!tload more.

We've turned into a selfish society that encourages the interests of the individual
and bugger you mate if you're doing it tough.

I'm not singling

It is a sad thing to see all types of people, including ex service personnel queuing up
at 7.30 am for homelessness services a emergency food relief today in this country.

It's real, I work with this every day
I'm not singling out your post for any other reason than you raise a few points that the world's population is addressing at the polling booths.
Our treatment of those you refer to as refugees sits comfortably with the majority of people in this country. The tragedy of people drowning and losing their lives by starvation and violence on the way to Australia is something even Anthony Albanese apologised for. If anyone hates self entitlement try dealing with a resettled illegal immigrant, a teenager has nothing on the criminal element landing in this country of ours.
Why does anyone want to criticize those who wish to voice their views on gay marriage via a plebiscite? Won't get the result you want because you know the majority are apalled by the prospect? The politicians don't care about views of people or the morality of the issues involved. Its just a points scoring excercise with the emotions and wishes of the people treated with contempt. For the record I want my say and a vote which will be a resounding NO.
In Britain, here in Australia, in America and soon in France we're seeing a voter backlash against the left wing idealists who are pushing their destructive political agendas onto the majority.
The world hasn't chaged so much. Unfortunately the misguided, the dishonest and the gulible are temporarily in positions of power and influence.
