Such as David Hale?
What is poverty? Some arbitrary level set by some bureaucrat, or an Anglican University Lay Chaplain, staff worker for the Australian Student Christian Movement and a member of the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship?
Some people will always be poverty stricken, no matter how much money they get. Others will always manage, no matter how little they get.
Anybody claiming that there is genuine poverty in a welfare state like Australia is no more than a crazy political activist. People are not equal. Those who cannot manage on what they are given by our very generous welfare system will never manage any better with more handouts
