The Problem

Since September 2001, Events, Technology, Covid and Climate Change Hysteria  have impacted our economies and fractured our communities the result is: -

• Five consecutive quarters of negative growth in GDP per person
• Persistent Inflation and dramatic Cost of Living increases
• Commonwealth debt of almost 1,000 Billion Dollars*
• ​Increases in productivity have almost vanished
• An associated Decrease in Social Cohesion
• ​* Interest per day $60,000,000

Does anyone think the government can solve these problems by themselves?

• Many of these problems are systemic and beyond the control of individual governments.
  
• Real world solutions require everyone in the community to be working together.
  
• That's where "Friends of Eastern Suburbs Life" can help.
