I wonder if any really see the pattern, much less want to see the pattern:

[quote][c=000000][center][big]Homeless->depression->
mental illness->drug addiction.[/big][/center][/c][/quote]

The problem starts with homeless. Not any other way!

Once it has gotten to addiction we have let gone too far without doing anything. So our whole society is at fault for letting it go too far.

Enough said!

I have been saying this for years.
We as are society should accept a portion of the blame because we do not protest enough. We do not badger the politicians and Government enough. If all of us who care, continually brought this massive problem to the front of the line then governments would be forced to take action, or lose their seats.
But alas, apathy rules, as long as it does not directly affect the majority of society then the marginalised are on their own. I can see that Australia's homeless population will continue to grow and grow.
What will successive governments do? Increase immigration of course.
The current intake is 190,000 a year, plus 13,750 humanitarian migrants, plus 66,000 temporary migrants who stay for several years. The aim is to bring in 260,000 by 2024/25.
For some reason we have a lack of workers?
All the while, Australians are being thrown out onto the street, Collateral damage.

@Gusman Well said. And not the I haven't noticed you saying it.

Just hoping putting it in a different way would make it clearer for some.
