Living below the poverty line in Australia

Hundreds of thousands of people in Australia are living on and below the poverty line,including many sleeping rough. There is an extreme lack of job vacancies and our safety net is broken. Income support is no longer livable. The Government seems to put their head in the sand about this widespread struggle, so the people are forming a voice for those without one. We talked to Dave from the “Freedom of Poverty ” organisation to discuss these vital issues.
