We're still the 'Commonwealth of Australia". I think people think that's just a name. It's not, it means what it says- all 'wealth' is considered to be common, meaning you need a full society to generate it. There is no such thing as isolated pockets of wealth. But the shift is on, as this article says, to create a permanent class of working poor here, as in the US and soon the UK. Who will be told they're not wealthy only because they don't work hard enough. Nobody is as lazy as the rich. They don't work. We can't let this ridiculous nonsense take root here. https://www.smh.com.au/national/australia-must-avoid-entrenching-a-us-style-working-poor-20220511-p5akbe.html
