“Packed to the Rafters”

For those of you who havn’t seen Packed to the Rafters watch this episode about inequallity. ‘Alex’ has returned and seen his family move on in love and life, Alex soon realises that this is something that he is not going to get… Is it ‘fair’, democratic or just life? Alex has his answer and is at peace with it…. Soon the rest of his family will be aswell. I sugest you watch it is accessable on the shool system.
