Well - WHY are they living fourteen to a house?
Because the government has failed to ensure housing for everyone, since the post-Thatcher 'small government' ideology became mainstream, reducing the nation's public-housing stock and forcing-up prices in the private market.
Quote:Apart from their choice of 'extended family', you understand....
...caused by family dysfunction - no "choice" involved - but entrenched socio-economic disadvantage.
Quote: ....who creates their 'social dysfunction' that is much more widespread and tenacious in REMOTE communities than anywhere else
We did, and it's our job to fix it.
Note: the newly elected S.African, Indian, and Mexican governments are facing high unemployment and entrenched ppoverty, and just like you they haven't a clue how to fix it.
Remote communities can be made to function successfully, but require the right government support - other than via the disastrous 'welfare'-based
poverty industry beloved by you.
Quote:.... nobody ever said they ALL live beachfront, sandy beaches, rum money every fortnight etc, house provided and no supervision - stop pouring bleach in your eyes, what part of 'compared to the Poor Boy in the city' says precisely that not all live 'beachfront' do you choose to FAIL to see... welfare dependent?
Unlike you I choose to see reality: most blacks
who have not been destroyed by the poverty industry's enforced welfare dependency are begging for jobs.
Quote:You can move to find a job....
Your ignorance of socio-economic disadvantage is egregious: I can move, but someone who has been destroyed by your vicious, imposed, welfare dependency can't.
Quote: most adhere to the PERSONAL AUTONOMY of choosing to spend their money the way they choose to....
Indeed, broken people often "choose" to spend their poverty rations on grog.
Quote: you know .... when are YOU headed out there to preach to them the majesty of removing their personal autonomy/sovereignty and subordinating themselves to the State entirely in order to receive their handout of a 'universal wage' that will only serve to create inflation until any benefit is gone anyway?
Funny seeing you arguing for broken people to have the 'right' to spend their poverty rations the way they want - in the name of 'autonomy'.
Honest work doen't create inflation. In fact eradication of the poverty industry will reduce inflation, if basic services and infrastructure are supplied by the state, eg subsidization by the currency-issuing government of healthy food (of which there is ample supply in Oz) in remote areas will reduce expensive illness. Ditto for poverty-related crime.
Quote:How many do you reckon you'll get on board with your theories?
I'm not sure; hopefully before the liberal democracies collapse into socio-economic dysfunction and hyper-partisanship, as poverty, homelessness and increasing inequality continue to soar, with neither side having a solution.
