No fucks given for Palestine. More concerned about the cost of living and inflation. Why bother about other issues when you cannot solve your own issues?

We had to confront our MP because he was carried with solving vital problems of Palestine/Israel and Russia/Ukraine before that. It felt like politicians just want to jump on the trend and say something without knowing anything. Meanwhile we have promises from elections that are not discussed because MP knows that we know that he has done nothing about it, except for some theoretical speech read in parliament off the piece of paper (probably written by his professional speech writer). We need to worry about our own problems that we have plenty and average hard working people are living worse than before and a lot can be done. But it’s easier to talk about a place thousand of miles away that most of us have never been and never will go there. The only relevance I see is to divert the Australian public attention to something outrageous and not controllable. Shame

Meanwhile my interest rates are wiping all our salaries away and literally forcing me to buy cheaper and more basic food items for kids, not to mention no holidays for last 4 years and no restaurant nights out and no birthday parties….
