3.24 million people in Australia (13.6% of the population) live below the poverty line. 774,000 children under the age of 15 (17.7% of all children in Australia) live below the poverty line.
The poverty epidemic is growing every year and is one of the worst in the developed world. Wages are not meeting inflation, there are fewer career opportunities, plus there is a drug epidemic amongst youth.
As the story is almost 12months old, we can easily say the government did fuck all. Except give themselves a raise and tax breaks to those that dont pay taxes!!
Australia needs to prioritising manufacturing , it has some of the most innovative people however the main priority is buying and selling houses.
Recently a homeless Nigerian man froze to death near the Vatican, and there was another article about some homeless Somalian family living on the streets of London.
Western governments are beyond corrupt. We have our own citizens living in poverty, homeless, and our treacherous governments import third worlders to add to the homeless.
Evil and despicable.
