Reminds me of Hawke saying by 1990 no child shall be living in poverty.
Thats because they all grew up and are now living with this mess.

It’s honestly depressing watching Australians scream about “save Australia”, wave flags, rant about migrants, Muslims, boats, borders, whatever the fuck the Murdoch headline of the day is, while completely missing the actual 500-pound gorilla standing in the lounge room eating all their groceries.
It’s not immigration.
It’s not refugees.
It’s not some family from overseas trying to survive and make a better life here.
It’s neoliberalism (if you don’t know look it up).
It’s corporate capture.
It’s an oligarchy dressed up as a free market.
Australia is getting robbed blind and not by migrants, but by billionaires, mining giants, banks, insurers, and media barons who’ve convinced half the country to punch sideways and downwards instead of looking up.
We dig up iron ore, coal, gas, lithium, gold, and ship it overseas by the boatload, and the Australian public ends up with jack shit. No sovereign wealth fund worth a damn, no long-term savings for future generations, no real protection from cost-of-living shocks.
Norway taxes the living shit out of its resources and ends up with a multi-trillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund that pays for healthcare, pensions, education, and future stability of the country.
Australia says, “Nah, mate, let’s give it away cheap, collect crumbs, and let Shell, Glencore, Chevron and their mates walk off laughing.”
There was a year where regular Australians paid more income tax than multinational oil and gas companies that made tens of billions of dollars here. Tens. Of. Billions. And they paid pennies in return. That’s not an accident. That’s policy. That’s lobbying. That’s bought-out politicians.
Meanwhile Murdoch and Kerry Stokes crank the fear machine up so hard your uncle thinks the reason his rent doubled is a refugee family, not a housing market turned into a casino by banks, developers, and politicians who all own countless investment properties.
Cost of living didn’t explode because migrants showed up.
Housing didn’t become unaffordable because someone speaks a different language to you.
Wages didn’t stagnate because of diversity.
It exploded because:
• Corporations price-gouge
• Banks rake in record profits
• Insurers jack up premiums
• Supermarket monopolies squeeze farmers and consumers
• Mining companies export wealth and import excuses; and
• Governments refuse to tax them properly
And instead of uniting over that, Australians are being played like a cheap poker hand, fighting each other over scraps while the real money gets siphoned offshore never to be seen again.
That’s the con.
“Be a patriot.”
Yeah, great. Then act like one.
Patriotism isn’t screaming at migrants.
Patriotism is demanding all Australians actually benefit from Australia’s natural wealth.
Patriotism is taxing our resources, breaking monopolies, properly funding public services, and making sure working people aren’t getting milked dry while billionaires pay less tax than a tradie.
Australia doesn’t need saving from immigrants.
Australia needs saving from being sold off piece by piece while we’re distracted arguing over culture-war bullshit.
That’s the real problem.
That’s the real enemy.
And until people wake up to that, we’ll keep fighting over meagre crumbs while the table gets cleared.
