(It's the novel about a near-future Australia ravaged by climate change. The speaker is talking about three sections to society. )

"These're the people who live in the gated settlements. People who live my the laws, who get food delivered to them, who've got solar panels for lightning, heating and air conditioning. If they're lucky, mind. Sometimes those things don't happen, but what are you gonna do, huh?"
