#UK society chooses to have people homeless, just as we choose to have people living in poverty.

A decent #government would have ended it in the first year in office. Instead, their policies make it worse.

Social benefit charities have, at least notionally, the constitutional purpose of helping people in society.

We should demand that our government have such a purpose too, and dissolve those that do not.

More importantly, Unlike a #charity organisation, the government of #Australia is entirely in control of how many Australian dollars they spend, and when, and on what, and how often.

Anything that can be purchased in Australian dollars, our federal government can pay it if they choose to, whenever they choose to, there is *nothing* stopping federal government from doing that.

So it's a shameful abdication of duty, for our federal government to refuse to spend whatever dollars are needed to, for example, house every person in the country; while also expecting praise for recommending *we* (with leftover funds) give money to *charity organisations* (with less capacity to use it than government) instead.

There are too many citizens in this country who will gladly spend more money to ensure that certain people suffer, rather than spend less to ensure that everybody’s needs get met.

Nobody ever fixes the base cause of all this. POVERTY.
