Free Australia

In Australia the poor rarely get to own the house in which they live. The government provided houses they live in are many years old and have been paid for at least twice by the transient population that travels through them. Due to the so-called “Australian dream” of owning one‟s own home there is a stigma connected to being a low income earner who is renting a government house.

It is our understanding that things have not moved on greatly since Prime Minister Kevin Rudd issued a long overdue apology in recognition of the suffering visited upon Australia’s Aboriginal population by previous governments and religious organisations.   However, in order for apologies to be accepted as sincere there is normally a change in behaviour and attitude towards the one at which the apology is directed.
