    Giving fines to homeless people is like throwing pebbles against a wall. It is not a solution to a massive problem. These people need a system that works not one that fails them.

      It is way beyond sad but can you please enlighten me to how the advisory only, 'Voice' is going to make this even the slightest bit clearer to those in power?
      This problem has been well known to ALL politicians, Liberals, Labor, Nationals, Greens and the others both State and Federal for many years. They already consult with community, they already claim to be doing all they can ("with much more work needing to be done").
      Will those calling for 'The Voice' suddenly sprout a conscience and start taking action because they hear what they already know from many of the same people they already talk to simply because they are then going to be part of a 'Voice'?

    Most backpackers who visit Australia find it absolutely shocking to witness the attitude many Australians have towards the indigenous people of the land. hatred is wide spread and alcohol and gambling have destroyed what was once a natural paradise.
