I am a Finnish citizen, as well as an Australian one

This has meant that when I think about my world, I often also think about what it would be like if I had grown up in Finland instead of Australia. This leads to comparisons of the education systems, health, population size, racism, housing, and tax systems which I believe has expanded my way of thinking.
I find Australia's neoliberal agenda affronting, I am a public school teacher and see the effects of a lack of appropriate funding affecting students and staff daily. I feel confused by how politicians continue to overfund private schools, then cry poor at the idea of taking any of that money away. Why are my taxes being spent on private educations, wars that I do not support, massive military funding (AUKUS?!). I believe that the connection to community in Australia is becoming more and more difficult to achieve as we become more and more individual, more about 'me, me, me' and less about 'us'.
Speaking to friends, some don't even care what is happening to Palestine. It isn't happening here, so why would it matter to them.
Where is the humanity!
