Yep, the 21st century in Australia. With the laptop, the ipod, the self-reversing car.
Medicine has`reached new levels; machines have become more intelligent.
In fact, we're told by the Prime Minister that we've never been better off. That we're earning more and the country's economy is rip-roaring along (with the obligatory interest rate rises).
Yep, we're all doing fine!
Then perhaps someone could enlighten me as to why a seven year old girl was found in her home dead from...starvation. She weighed nine, that's right, nine, kilos. Yep. In the 21st century in a civilized country we have a young girl dying of starvation - lack of food.
Makes you wonder, no...?

I saw a news item about the poor, wee girl while I was in Oz. Couldn't believe the state of the room she was growing up in. What kind of life must she have had M? Shocking!
