2. PREOCCUPATION WITH SOCIAL OVERLAY

Many Australians are so into the giddy world of social engagement they have little time for the real world. It often seems we are in a whirlpool of giddy recreational pursuit that hides the real world. We don’t want to know about the serious side of life.

Escapism is the order of the day – every day.

Unless and until we are prepared to confront the real world, denial and an ostrich like stance will continue to afflict us. We need recreation but carrying this to excess is destroying of our country, culture and us an a people within.
