The underlying problem is that since Rogernomics was imposed, we are all brainwashed to believe the free market will solve everything. Both left & right political parties are scared to challenge this paradigm. The paradigm pushes privatisation and small government, driving for the market to operate unimpeded by regulation. The paradigm includes the idea that we are all individuals maximising our "utility", & denies the existence of "social groups", and human interaction that isnt about agreeing a price. We are sold lies about govt finances, govt competence, the commons, the origin of money, and have foist on us an "independent" Reserve Bank, run by an unelected technocrat steeped in the same dogma, who essentially runs the economy with one lever. I despair.
