ALP fails the poor again
Submitted by 2060 on Tue, 30/04/2013 - 12:54amA report released today by Anglicare Australia has found it is becoming almost impossible for people on welfare to afford to rent a home.
The welfare group surveyed more than 56,000 rental properties across the country and found less than 1 per cent of those properties were affordable for people on government benefits such as Newstart, parenting payments, the aged pension or disability support pensions.
