Why isn’t there enough money in Australia for essential human services?

Where is the money coming from to fund essential services?
That’s a legitimate question. In fact, it’s a very legitimate question to ask.

But perhaps we need to turn that question on its head. 🔄

Instead of asking:
💰 “Where are we going to find the money?”
Shouldn’t we be asking:
❓ Why isn’t there enough money in Australia for essential human services?

In a wealthy country like Australia, why are essential human services constantly being left behind?

Why don’t we have the resources necessary to meet the basic needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our society?

WHY? WHY? WHY? ❓❓❓

💰 Corporate Welfare v Social Security Benefits

What’s the difference between social security benefits and corporate welfare?

The word “welfare” carries plenty of negative connotations particularly after the Morrison government’s attack on social security recipients through the Robodebt fiasco.

But there is a fundamental difference.

👵👨‍🦽 Social security benefits have been won through decades of struggle by people demanding that the state provide security for individuals and families who, in the majority of cases through no fault of their own, find themselves elderly, sick, unemployed or disabled.

🏢💰 Corporate welfare, on the other hand, is about taxpayers’ money being channelled through the state to the corporate sector to ensure corporations continue to:

1️⃣ Provide services including, in many cases, services that have been privatised.

2️⃣ Provide financial resources for their shareholders.

So why are social security recipients so often portrayed as a burden on society, while billions of dollars in corporate assistance can be treated very differently?

⚖️ Corporate Welfare v Social Security Benefits - a simple comparison, but one that raises some very important questions about who our economy and government are really working for.

🇦🇺 Why are Australia’s younger generations going backwards economically?

For generations, Australians could expect their lives to gradually improve compared with those who came before them.

📈 But something has changed.

For the past 30-40 years, younger Australians, particularly those aged 40 and under, have increasingly found themselves going backwards economically.

🏠 Housing is harder to afford.
💰 Wages are under pressure.
📉 Secure employment is becoming harder to find.
🎓 Education costs more.
💸 The cost of living keeps rising.

And despite what some political parties would have us believe, this isn't simply about migration, refugees, asylum seekers or crime.

👉 It is a structural problem.

This presentation looks at how the adoption of neo-liberal policies by successive federal and state governments since the 1990s has fundamentally changed Australia’s economy and society.

But what exactly is neo-liberalism?

And how has it contributed to younger generations being economically worse off than previous generations?

👴👵 Elderly Australians: Ripe for the Plucking 💰

What happens when an ageing population has homes, superannuation and accumulated wealth?

Today, we’re seeing something Australia has never experienced on this scale before - the corporatisation and privatisation of old age.

For generations, Australians have been told to work hard, pay off their homes and save for retirement. Many Baby Boomers have done exactly that, owning their homes outright after a lifetime of paying off a mortgage.

Then came compulsory superannuation in the 1990s, creating another enormous pool of wealth intended to support people in retirement. 💵

Now, as Australia's population ages, we are approaching what could be one of the largest transfers of wealth in Australian history.

And where there is wealth, there are sharks. 🦈

It's not simply the traditional story of greedy relatives waiting for an inheritance.

Today, there is an entire industry targeting the accumulated wealth of older Australians, their homes, their superannuation and their retirement savings.

🏡 Retirement villages
💰 Financial services
🏢 Private aged-care providers
📺 Endless advertising targeting older Australians
💳 Corporations seeking access to retirement wealth

How many advertisements have you seen encouraging elderly Australians to move into privately operated retirement villages?

🚨 Privatising aged care is ludicrous!

What is the most important thing we can do to keep ourselves out of the grasp of the aged care corporatised industry which is causing so much pain and suffering, to so many Australians?

It's Your Fault. Or Is It? 👀
Why are so many people, especially young people, struggling with anxiety and depression? Is it simply a personal issue - or is there something much bigger at play?

Modern psychology and psychiatry often focus on the individual, but are we overlooking the social, economic and political forces shaping our mental wellbeing?

In this thought-provoking presentation Joseph Toscano explores:
🧠 The difference between endogenous and reactive psychological conditions.
⚖️ Why treatment so often focuses on changing the individual rather than the environment.
📈 The dramatic rise in anxiety and reactive depression in recent decades.
❓ What's really driving the growing mental health crisis across the Western world.

🎬 Join Joseph Toscano as he tries to pin point what is driving this mass anxiety in the western world.

💬 Do you think our society is contributing to the rise in anxiety? Share your thoughts in the comments
