You are absolutely right AJ and we have been reduced to economic units. The economy is far more important in the polls than climate change. We may well survive climate change but our children and grandchildren will be severely affected. And yet the political parties focus on growth exploiting more from less. So of course the right wing lump at risk youth into simplistic dog whistling policies because that’s all they know and it gets them votes. What does that say about our nations priorities. If in doubt blame crime, immigrants, Maori and beneficiaries. We are about to have an election and all many people want is tax cuts 30 pieces of silver. We have forgotten our humanity. We don’t even allow refugee children to reunite with their families. The solution is radical love of the kind Jesus preached. It’s treating our young people as precious even the ram raiders. Anything less is a path to destruction.
