Not to mention the dentist.
What makes it even worse is that with all the immigrants pouring in for umpteen years, when you go to a free dental clinic it is full of them. After you have waited months.
And when you have no real job training / few career skills and have to rely on casual unskilled work, many of those jobs have been filled by immigrants. I had to leave the taxi industry 8 years ago because Indians had taken it over.
Don't gt me wrong...I don't mind immigrants as people, and in fact I'm doing a big favour for an Indian guy right now. He is my neighbour in our apartment complex. And I chat with an Iranian Muslim guy here who is a lovely person. I just don't agree with the government that the immigrants they let in are not taking Aussie jobs. They ARE.

It's only a symptom of the real problem, a million immigrants came after WW2, my parents among them, and there were jobs for all of them as well as the million servicemen returning.
High unemployment rates is a secret policy of any conservative government, it keeps wages down.

there have been stories on pensioners eating their roast dinner through a straw for years because they can't afford dentists. a blender is far cheaper. Tripe smoothie anyone?

Australia has become a much wealthier country over the past 15 years but most of the increase in wealth has gone to those who were already wealthy or well off while the poor have gotten poorer.

This type of situation has been around for a long time
It will here to stay
There are ways to get support
But people will not ask for it
Plus a lot of people do not know how to cook
I used to help people many years ago
So i have seen it first hand
