It makes you wonder when  our government send billions of dollars to a foreign country, and some charities make every effort to help poor families in other countries. The government Senate report "A Hand Up not a Hand Out" found that we have 3.5 miilion poor people in Australia. That was in 2005 - so waht has been done? With rents rising out of control and the word affordable means nothing and the number of homeless increasing - we are running out of places to hide homeless people.

We can assure politicians that this lack of real effort by them will cause them real heartache very soon. Add to the homeless the aging population means that there is less people in the workforce trying  to pay enough taxes to support poverty.

Given that the budget for welfare in Australia is lamost as much as the taxation we give them thy either have to find more money from somewhere or reduce the amount given out. We have a better idea - Government should stop mucking about and listen to people who can solve the problem.

There is a choice

Question

How come we have to pay ridiculous prices for land when we are one of the largest countries in the world and we have so much land and really a very small population?

What does an affordable home mean?

We know!
