North Korea - Australia leaves it's poor homeless, without food or dental services and no chance of an education.

Well the hypocritical Australian Government claims North Korea has too many poor people!

At least they don't hide it like Australia and the U.S. and kill off people just becuase they are poor.

But here in Australia apart from not being able to get an education, which would provide hope of employment for the poor, the poor can't even get dental treatment either.

But worse is the fact that there is no where for them to live. The councils don't allow you to pitch a tent or sleep in your car in many places so if you are without a house you are a criminal in this country!

And it's that bad that in S.E. queensland the support services are providing tents to single parents becuase there is no housing available for rent!

And even if there was rental property available there is no way the poor can afford to rent them as the rents are higher than the pathetic income support given to the poor. The average rental price around south east QLD for a 3 bedroom home would be $280 - $300 per week, yet those on a pension or income support or even a low wage would not even get that much a week!!!! Sure there is some rental support but it's maxed out a $60 a week, still leaving those on a pension about $100 short of being able to pay rent!

There are people with kids living in tents at showgrounds all over QLD and it won't be long before we have babies dying from exposure to the heat and weather!!!!

And then they wouldn't be able to pay the ever increasing electricity bills, water rates and the GST on all these things!

But then Australians are quite happy with this situation, they carry on about other countries crying foul about the poor in those countries and would rather the poor are left without any resources to complain in this country and they just want them to die and go away!

Classic hypocrits the Australian Government and yet with all the homelessness and poor in this country the Government keeps an $11 Billion surplus! Highlighting John Howard kills off the poor so his government can make a huge profit!

Since when do governments collect taxes to make profits?????

Criminals, murderers the lot of the polititians in Australia.

North Korea must develop nuclear weapons to stop these murdering, corrupt, polititians from Australia and U.S. invading.

Governments urged to address housing shortage

A housing shortage in north-west Queensland has prompted calls for state and federal governments to take action.

The Mt Isa Community Development Association says its waiting list currently includes about 300 people - most of them on low incomes.

Manager Alison Bohannan says there is simply nothing available and rents have jumped by as much as $60 a week over the past two years.

"I'd like to see a couple of boarding houses happen here in Mt Isa," he said.

"I'd like to see some more community housing being made available because that's excellent transitional housing for people who come here looking for work - [they] are initially on low incomes, they can ... get some savings together and then move on into the private market. That's the ideal."
