    I feel like at some point Australia has become a very soulless country of paying off a mortgage and that’s about it.

      I think we have regressed to pre WWII society. We have lost manufacturing industry , wages are again very low, education is again very costly, medical care is becoming out of reach for many and benefits are starvation rates

        Its an extremely sad regression, and things are going to have to get a lot worse before they get better. Because unfortunately people usually won’t take to the streets until things are really desperate.

      I agree. And if you’re not in the strata of being able to get a mortgage it’s pretty grim
