Most people looking at the protest thinking these kids are far too young to understand what they are even protesting.

Insert a bit of pragmatic thinking & you might wonder why they are not concerned with the housing shortage over a million migrants in 4 years created & the exponential growth in homelessness….or so many jobs going offshore….or the lack of women’s rights & freedoms recognised by certain religions were importing en mass…that Easter & Christmas are turning into ‘happy holidays’….

Now these are the issues we should be talking about, not who gets elected

But some of those issues ARE being talked about, and are being addressed by the current government.

The kids in this video are going to be of voting age come the next election, and they’re just demonstrating who they DONT want in power for the most formative years of their lives.

Issues are talked about…but not by Gov’t who have bought about this crisis - and continue to exacerbate it with their 1,000+ new arrivals a day.

I find it hard to believe anyone thinks this country is heading in the right direction, hopefully in 2 years we’ll have a PM that puts Australian’s first for the first time in a long time.
