I Sent A Letter

To my local MP. (via GetUp)

Please explain why the government has $1Billion dollars free to give to the Adani coal mine, and not enough money to maintain Medicare. The Medicare rebate freeze causes financial hardship to the Aussie battlers who need it the most. The Adani mine gives money to rich foreigners who don't vote. Guess who is going to vote you out? The Aussie battlers are. Be sensible. Support Medicare, not foreigners.

Blunt, and far too pragmatic, but I didn't have the energy to be more subtle.

We will be Medicare eligible this year, but with Trump going in office (and all these billionaires who think of things like SS and Medicare as "entitlements" in his cabinet, I don't know what's going to happen.

I hate to hear you seem to be having the same sorts of problems in your neck of the woods!

Oh. You live on the other side but these problems are probably global...
No subtlety, just that. Yes. Clear enough! Go!
