Wow, best pack up and leave the country. My Families health is good, if they get sick we have affordable healthcare at some of the best hospitals in the world. I just drove home in a modern European car on great roads in the peak hour of a strong economy. People were gathering to celebrate the end of their 36 hour week and looking forward to a relaxing weekend with many options open to them for sporting or cultural pursuits. My partner has just accepted a new position are completing certified training in a field she has long wished to enter. My kids are all off working in casual jobs, getting there on safe public transport. If Aussies are hurting financially they can get assistance from federal and state govt agencies, numerous charitable organizations and are allowed to declare bankruptcy if needed. We are not the USA, we are not Europe, stop reading the bad news, try the comic section and lighten up. You r missing something, optimism.
