I still find it amazing, in this 21st century, in Australia, that the quality of education for children is based upon the success or failure of the capitalist economy, year by year, rather than being based upon the importance of the children. I still find it amazing, after all the years of fighting for good health care, that it is based, year by year, on the basis of how well a company like BHP or Apple is doing. There is something very wrong with this. This is a failure of Government to be Government. This is a failure of being unwilling to tax the rich for the betterment of all. We should be able to chart the future of education and health for all. This is not a whim, but a social necessity. That we can't even do that in 2018 is dismally amazing to me.
