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.

We should increase the opportunities for young Australians, make housing affordability a priority and allow pensioners to live comfortably in their retirement having worked like dogs their entire lives. Get rid of the migrants, the constant, never-ending stream of parasitic shit skins draining the economy and destroying work opportunities for Australians born in Australia.
