is it different in Australia????????
iwona I'm not trying to speak negative, sure there are a lot of drug addicts. and people who find it hard to live due to persoanl issues, ie depression, family conflict.. but the current welfare system provides good income support and rent assistance, if a person lives in the gutter it is generally his choice, (ie he spends his welfare payments on drugs, grog, or poker machines) The drunks who are homeless are looked after by various charities ie St Vincent DePaul society, salavation army etc. no person has died due to lack of food.
The current unemployemnt rate in oz is 4.8% and as mentioned in previous post oz needs skilled people and is crying out for good people.
Poland has not the safety net and a lot of people are left to use there own resources, which means homeless people are left to freeze in winter...
I'm sorry that is the sad reality,, I get very upset when I hear from people who are the new rich in poland who have it very well who cannot see the plight of there struggling brother!
