"Both sides of politics have betrayed us. Both have sold out our national interest to large and powerful corporations.
Our future and that of our children is now ...in the hands of people who only represent shareholders in mainly foreign owned companies and have no affiliation or indeed responsibility to Australia or its people.
Our labour is no longer valued as it is too expensive by international capitalist standards.
Foreign and Australian owned businesses would rather import cheaper foreign labour on 457 visas and have the local population working for the dole on half the national minimum wage.
Our housing prices are out of reach for most Australians ,and our food is poisoned with chemicals and genetically modified.
Our water is in the process of being poisoned by multinational companies who will leave our shores when they are finished.
Our right to protest this situation is now illegal in most states ,we are under constant government surveillance ,the police force are becoming increasingly more aggressive towards us for minor infractions or none at all.
Our Leader only speaks in the form of half truths and outright lies.
We have over 100,000 homeless people even by the governments own figures, Indigenous Australians are still being thrown off their land for the profit of the few, and we have privately funded think tanks that are calling for the minimum wage safety net to be axed.
It seems as though we as Australians are now redundant,c heaper versions of our population must be imported,people who will have lower expectations of what their government should do for them.
People who are unaware of free healthcare or free education. People who dont know about the billions of dollars given to corporations from the public purse.
We are over as a culture and as a people ,and our leaders dont care what becomes of us. It would be convenient for them if we just quietly faded away into nothingness."

Well said and reflects on how I feel about our situation, now. Very despondent.
