The heart of the matter

Just a few thoughts

·       Planned Unemployment
We are being told continuously by our governments that the most important thing for our well-being is to have a job. We need to all be at work; no unemployment and all our lives will be wonderful.
We are also told by our economic managers that in order to keep our cost of living down we must raise interest rates, so that at least 4 or 5% of our people need to be unemployed, so that the rest of us can have a reasonable life.
And guess what - the most unemployed people in Australia are its First Peoples!
There must be a better way.
Change is essential.

The Signs Of The Times

Ø Australia is home to the oldest living culture in the world. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been caring for Country for at least 65,000 years. The Voice is a key reform in the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which asks all Australians to recognise the rightful place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in their own country by establishing a First Nations Voice in the Constitution. Through the Voice Referendum, Australians will have the chance to decide whether Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a say on matters that affect their community. – Solar Citizens
