Paul,

"Thank you Issy, flattery will get you everywhere.

BS = Brilliant Summation!"

Not in the real world!!

We've got money for wars but we can't feed
the poor.

You don't get explanations in real life.

The real world is where the monsters are.

Foxy,

"We've got money for wars but we can't feed
the poor"

In this country, no one need be hungry and no one is poor by world standards; quite the opposite.

In 2016 ACOSS (Australian Council of Social Services)
released a new report revealing that poverty was
growing in Australia with an estimated 2.9 million
people or 13.3% of all people living below the
internationally accepted poverty line.

It was also estimated that there were 731,000 children
in poverty and 17.5% of children under the age of 15
were in poverty.

More than 3 million Australians are living in poverty
today a new ACOSS Report reveals.

We're told that poverty has been a consistent feature of
Australian life with millions still living below the
breadline despite 27 years of uninterrupted economic
growth.

A new report - "Poverty Australia 2018" sums things up
rather well.

Things in Australia it seems are not so good for some.
But hey - there's others who can't live on $6000 a
week - we know who they'll be voting for.
More of the same!

cont'd ...

Again - my apologies for the typo.

As I said, all Australians are well off by world standards.

Imagine, if you will, a day labourer in India who only earns enough to buy basic food, who sleeps rough and washes under a council standpipe; that's poverty.
