For some time I've been pondering the future of the country (or any country) where we actively leave the "underclass" behind. It's evident in OZ today that unless you're skilled you're stuffed - but to get skilled you need money and the proverbial "chicken and egg" problems that result.
We see increasing moves to jail anyone that moves for trivial crime and we're increasingly hiding behind our elite "gated" communities so we can ignore the plight of others.
New Orleans was a classic for this - but it's equally true in Brisbane, Sydney and no doubt within other communities around the country (take Palm Island for example).
At some point, it has to crack - Maquarie Fields in Sydney and now of course, Paris.
So I'm waiting to see everyone claim Paris is just a French problem - please don't be so blind to see that it could (and probably will) happen here. Just let Johnnie get away with his IR changes and it might happen sooner than you think.
