Australian PM Pledges $6.1 Billion set to fail.


The Sun Herald today December 21 Sunday, is saying that currently 105 people are homeless every night in Australia. About 16,000 of those sleep rough on the streets.

A plan to halve homelessness in Australia by 2020 will be unveiled by the
Federal
Government Today.

I say that this is set to fail. Part of these homeless people are fallen victim of the political, economic and social structure of Australia.

In a capitalist system of which I believe Australia strictly adheres and subscribes to, people living on the street and are homeless is the result of the system itself.

Even if the Federal Government takes an initiative like this one, but they do not address the very root cause of this homelessness issue, then the breeding ground for homelessness would still be active 24/7.

Homelessness and poverty are just 2 main problems of Capitalism.
These are not new to me.
