No
one is going to complain about getting a tax cut, those that are
fortunate enough to be earning enough to pay tax.
But
it’s all brought into perspective when transiting through Central
Satiation Sydney. Where one is unavoidably confronted with the number
of people calling this home. People living out of a bag, sleeping
rough. People my age, on a pension forced onto the streets due to
escalating housing and rental costs.
And
the sad realisation that I have done little to voice my opinion in
support of the disadvantaged. There but for the grace of God go I. Of
course, it’s not just Sydney, it’s here in Coffs Harbour, but not
as in your face as Sydney. It’s everywhere and becoming more and
more commonplace, and we still don’t vocalise our concern at the
direction of our culture.
I
criticise myself for remaining silent, but then I’m in a serious
exchange with the relevant ministers trying to get adequate health
care, that “’m supposedly entitled to.
If
all the little voices get into unison, it will become a seriously big
and loud voice.
Don’t
remain silent.
