Ross Gittins hits the nail on the head (“We must reject politics of greed”, The Age, 18/5): instead of thinking what’s in it for me, it would be refreshing if we all considered how we can best support our community.

We vote and make decisions that impact on so many lives with little thought to the vulnerable in our community. We can do better, as often evidenced in emergency situations.
