Goodbye to, page-25

if we went back to say? The 1970’s

if someone for some reason, lost their job - any reason- and dropped their income from normal wages down to the dole or sickness benefits

Today - they must end up living in a tent or a car

That is NOT pretty good. It’s clearly going backwards.

That is - for a country like Oz - an atrocity
