Date: 2011-10-14 09:57 pm (UTC)When I went up to Caboolture last month, I was surprised and saddened to realise that the entire former main street is mostly populated by employment agencies these days. Retail jobs are booming in the area, but the loss of blue collar and agricultural jobs has hit the region hard. But all of that is unrelated to the GFC, sorry to say.
Anyway, I agree, in Australia specific protests would probably be a lot more useful, and seem a lot less jaded.
The jadedness is the problem, really. Jumping on this bandwagon simply means that next time people are protesting for something specific and significant, it will be that much easier to dismiss.
