AC, full marks for having absolutely no idea of what the problem of homelessness really is. Yep, just jump on to realestate.com and problem solved, there is a one bed for rent in Swan Hill, wow great! Lets try to equate you with the facts;

In Victoria alone, there are more than 25,000 homeless persons on any given night. According to Lisa Dalla-Zuanna Salvation Army Housing Manager Victoria. I wont even go into the practicalities of a homeless person in Melbourne trying to rent a one bed in Swan Hill, or some such place. Facts on the housing cries in Australia. Over one weekend in March this year, Anglicare Australia conducted a rental affordability study They found that of 68,485 private listings around the nation for the weekend, no capital city had a property affordable to a single person on Newstart or Youth Allowance. There was only one property for a person on Newstart in the Orange region (NSW) and another in the Riverina (NSW), 554 rentals were affordable for a single person on the aged pension and 317 for those on a disability pension.

Indy was that 75% a typo, your usual figure for your "Press Gang Program" is an unsubstantiated, astronomical 95%. Its always 95% with you, 95% of PS are bludgers, 95% of people agree with me etc. I'll say some on here have lost 95% of their ability to think.

A government, and its supporters who target, desperately,the underprivileged rather than help them is not worth that title
Homeless unemployed, hungry, all sold as victims of their own actions
And the very people who should stand with those poor take the verbale stick to them letting government do little to end homeless people sleeping on our streets
We can and must do far better the recent news is full of our money being spent unwisely let us spend whatever is needed to end homelessness

Dear Belly,

I think ScuMo does have a solution: replace all the homeless, unemployed, etc., with cashed-up Chinese migrants. The Nazis also had a misanthropic approach to handling those whom they saw as not fitting in with their plans. Hail ScuMo!

Dear individual,

Sorry to disappoint you but I have been working flat out past retirement age and will be doing so for a long time. I have a livelihood in engineering and unlike you I can earn an income and be a super smart sociologist at the same time....... And loving it!

Mr Opinion,
Until it can be fully established as to what the real number & reasons for homelessness are, silly quips are extremely unhelpful & even more pointless. Any reasonably brain-endowed will tell you that.
