There are approximately 300 Australians like Will currently held in forensic disability facilities, hospitals, mental health facilities, the prison system and providers of last resort. After two decades of seclusion, his story reveals a broken system where lives deteriorate, not improve, despite efforts for reform.

In contrast, developing nations can clearly advance through industrial phases, especially by building infrastructure. For them, the path to improving lives is clear; for developed nations, it remains uncertain.

Australia is a two-tiered society sharply divided between people who own homes and people who do not. The generational divide is worsening.
