By Paul McDonald, published 24/6/2011

In polling by Anglicare it is clear that all the respondent families receiving welfare were doing their best to manage very tight financial situations.

We have no poor in Australia (except those unable to fill in the forms).

My wife, three kids and I have been on welfare, by choice, for over two years... and it's been just fine. We have two cars, a mortgage and for over a year, not savings to draw upon.

Infact, welfare is so generous that we are thinking of having a few extra kids to increase our incomes. Why do the welfare-dependant have so many kids - because they are handsomly bribed by over-generous payments to have heaps of kids! More mouths on the public tit.

Welfare is so generous that there are no poor in Australia. Unless they have a problem with pokies, porn or plonk as the author so insightfully suggested.

Real issue throughout is avoided.

Those failing dismally NOT taken to court for welfare or mental health or social reasons to account for their failures.

They NOT taken to court because this was - and remains, mostly Government mismanagement.

Why were public funds spent building houses on land owned by corporations, corporations which refused to issue valid leases to their tenants ?

Why have government authorities responsible to ensure Australian and world standards for housing, health, legal, education and others, monitored to ensure maintained ?

Simple... Australian Governments still accept as an excuse for denial of rights and/or responsibilities the argument of race.

Australian Governments still treat Australians differently on basis of race.

Governments still deny Australians their rights on basis of race.

Australian politicians, as part of our government processes still present excuse for their denial, their qualification of rights and/or responsibilities their argument using race.

Whether offering or denying, qualification by race is racism.

Australian Governments are racist.

Racist Australian Governments merely apply the Himmler principle - when they tell a lie loud enough, long enough, most people come to believe it is true.

Do you answer Australian Government racial identification question on government forms ?

In 1967 the acknowledged purpose of Australian voting to amend their constitution was to extinguish, to eliminate, all ability for Australian Governments to pass ANY laws which qualified Australian's rights, Australian's responsibilities through racial identification.

Australians amendment to their constitution, despite their clearly acknowledged purpose to make unlawful ALL qualification of our rights using racial identification, appears to be ignored.

Is it that most Australians accept legislated racis
