Hi David ,
the real figure is estimated at 50,000 mate , it’s an absolute disgrace , and at the same time next financial year ,the Australian government in its wisdom , have decided to let in 320,000 immigrants into the country,
im not sure if they are handing them each a swag on arrival , as we have a critical housing shortage,
but the least they can do right now is to give the Australian charities some extra funding thus enabling them to hand out more of those emergency swag kits to our needy families and everyone that is sleeping it rough,
We seem to be able to hand out our countries money for all sorts of things and to other countries ,but I really think that charity should begin here at home and we take care of our own .
But that’s my opinion and I believe that
It also should be the governments
Cheers
