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.

their love of neighbour, especially those who are needy and poor.

– This Sunday reflection
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
