Aussie youth - the problems are becoming obvious..

The SMH has covered the youth welfare crisis in Sydney admirably this week, and the conclusions are obvious.
This problem goes straight to the core of all that is wrong in Western society.
The breakdown of family support systems, combined with the fracturing of the family unit caused by socio-economic pressures, acceptance of drug & alcohol abuse etc. all stem from the capitalist, materialistic, politically neo-liberal rubbish we are still fed and forced to 'value'.
I think it could be time to change this situation..
