Henry Lawson was born in a tent near Grenfell in 1867 and died at home of a cerebral hemmorhage in 1922, aged 55 years.
In modern Australia, the Albanese government is now delaying the release of 83,000 home care packages for old people. “5,000 people died waiting for care in the last financial year.” (The Australian page 5 today “Labor faces crossbench aged-care revolt”)
In 2021 as opposition leader Anthony Albanese said “We cannot be satisfied with a situation where older Australians are dying waiting for their home care packages.”
Now people die waiting for the Albanese government to release such packages to them.
Henry Lawson would have called for drastic change.
