because our government has failed us for so long.
Since the second that the bus hit, we have been failed time and time again.
And young people can't afford to have kids.
And they're the ones that will be suffering.
You know, like, it's incredibly difficult.
The birth rate was declining before the crash now.
Yeah, that's fair.
But you know what?
The government actually almost admitted it themselves when they brought in the free IDX scheme.
Behind that, there's a paranoia about the likes of myself and my friends who can't afford to have kids yet and won't be able for another seven or eight years.
And it may be too late for us then.
And that is why the free IVF scheme was brought in.
So it's not just the cost of living crisis is incredibly difficult for us.

No let up at all.
