Regional areas are expected to need another 11,000 GPs in the next decade. 50,000 teachers are also expected to leave teaching in the next TWO years. Try finding a tradie to do anything without waiting months. This day was always going to come, in an ageing population that funds those same aged people to a level that they are now the wealthiest age group in the community. That's unprecedented in history, that retired people are the richest people in a society. That money is money that should have been going towards education and training, and basic public services. Argue the point all you like, the social collapse is happening right in front of us. Show us where all these doctors and teachers are hidden.
