Bronwyn,
For what it's worth, I think you are on the right track, however that track is in itself worthy of an article for discussion. Hasbeen, I agree that a job can give someone a sense of identity, and belonging, provided that job has decent wages and conditions, otherwise the opposite can be true, robbing people of confidence in themselves and leading along a path not disimilar to the current one. Bronwyn, please submit an article on the widening gap between rich and poor in Australia, it would make for a pleasent change from recent articles, Regards,Shaun

Jason,

An attempt at finding the problem.

Unfortunately, your liberal views and your political background has skewed your analysis.

Not everything comes down to politics. Perhaps to some extent it is a macro problem and what you mentioned may be 5% of the cause, but it is a micro problem to do with individual attitudes, community self isolation and a build up of tensions and negative slander in the community on both sides.

Life is 10% what happens, 90% how you deal with it. Policies and governments do not pull the populations strings as much as you might think. Just because the ALP may have attempted to improve the standard of living of its poorest citizens, does not mean they cop the wrath. Unlike your party, I dont feel the ALP is clever enough for ulterior motives such as stacking the electorates, it was what was thought was the best planning method at the time and it was often based recently finished overseas communites. They did not have a generation of analysis, and Australian communities were essentially less multicultural. Fact.

Your Liberal party has had the ability to control where the populations of new migrants were going in your flawless immigration policies. Intstead you treat Australia like a fun park, get in the gate and go for life, congregate in ghettos and isolate yourself, the most simple move is the most effective....allow a condition of entry to be 24 months in an area deemed in need of population, with labour shortages, with a proportionate mix of migrants.

Play the blame game and you lose sight of the simple solutions. you win more votes shooting them down than worrying about your own job.

Finally:

How many generations of Aborigines have been destroyed by welfare, and the drinking it led to?

I think you need to stop playing the blame game. If you take the responsibility away, you also take away the power. Thanks alot.

Jason,

Good point. Policy formulation and law enforcement is a key factor to end or limit youth and social problems we are facing today.

The issue can be easily resolved when we stop the blame game.

“Policy formulation and law enforcement is a key factor to end or limit youth and social problems” – words, words, words.

Non-Anglo-Celt youth does not want being into footsteps of their parents, oppressed biologically inferior slaves for older generation of recent Cronulla youngsters taking their "Aussie accent" as a sure grant for prosperity and managerial superiority over not so English fellow citizens.

Jason has made a very valid point; The Left has removed the Motive of existence, and near destroyed the fabric of honest trade and annihilated integrity in people- inhibited existentialism as a virtue – And all of that is being polite. Quashed intellectual ability and created a Guilt ridden society ready for conditioning to be robbed of all its virtue’s in the name of? “Social Justice”. Well, do we see any justice? - Nowhere to be found- just a society spiraling out of control and near ungovernable. We all can appreciate what that means.
This is the direct result of Fascism- Part Government- part Looter controlled Capitalism, meaning Criminal extortion not the integrity of capitalism that was to be honored and the initial intention of rewarding success.
Marxist Philosophies at work in part, and Irf’s hero Hitler was as left as Stalin , undoubtedly a “messenger” only a little smarter in short term economics, long term; is a terminal failure and we have reached that point of no return. Near three generations of State Dependant constituents as well as an Immigration policy well out of control and welfare dependant. Less than half a Nation Producing and More than half Looting; The tax paid by workers does not cover the Welfare Bill, how many other bills does the Australian Government pay? The future is not very Sweet I’m afraid.
