I just feel extremely sad about the mass quantity of events like this happening right now because they are all aggregate to huge negative effects but the average person knows nothing of it. It feels so unfixable.

That's until you get disabled in an accident - or your son or daughter is.

Then you'll suddenly convert to how benefits are essential.

(In before: "I don't need a car insurance, I'll never get into any accident, I am too good a driver for that")

> The number of elderly Australians who live alone with no family, or no family nearby, is truely disappointing.

That's a thing across all Western societies, and we got unchecked rabid capitalism and a complete lack of industry structural politics to thank for that one. Young people not living in an urban area have little choice but to leave there to find employment and higher level education.
