That's true. Aussie Prick is speaking the truth backed by factual evidence.

Just check out the website of Mercedes-Benz to compare the prices of a S500 in the US and in Australia. Their website speaks for themselves!

To be frank with you, I don't have the answers to your questions above.

The only answer I can give is that Australia is a ripoff!

Sound to me like some of you Singaporeans are having a hard time adjusting to PAP-less living ... UK, USA, Australia, Canada and NZ

Better return to nanny Singapore. :biggrin:

Meanwhile, I will be attending a house-warming of an ex-Singaporean family who decided to stay on and enjoy the good life here.

Some say Australia is doomed.. however, statistic shown we are slightly above recession.. on the other hand, some say Australia is a lucky country.. who do you believe ?

Actually Arsetralia is famous for its national disgrace now, homelessness and cardboard cities.

You cant have the most expensive housing in the world without this, you know.

Homelessness a national disgrace: Rudd

Homelessness is a "national obscenity" and it would be a disgrace if Australia failed to act on the issue, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said in a speech yesterday.

Adelaide Now reports with over 100,000 Australians homeless every night, including 10,000 children under 12, Mr Rudd said "we can and must do better on this."

Mr Rudd released a Green Paper on homelessness and called for "bold new ideas" from interested groups, business and the wider community.

A committee, chaired by the executive director of the Anglican welfare group Brotherhood of St Laurence, Tony Nicholson, will use those hearings and submissions to prepare a white paper for the Government by August.

Catholic Social Services Australia said it would present a submission to the Government's green paper and believed the chronic shortage of assistance for homeless people was evidence enough of the need for urgent action.

"Homelessness is not just about accommodation, the causes stem from a whole range of unmet social need," said executive director Frank Quinlan.

"While providing a roof over someone's head is central to the solution, realistic resources must be poured into ensuring people get access to services that help with drug and alcohol problems, mental health issues, managing finances and a raft of other services."

Glad you know what the picture is about.

I know you are going to use the old news of Homelessness in OZ as an example. So boring. But you miss the point totally.

In Singapore, homelessness is due to an uncaring government.
In Australia, despite all the generous safety nets, policies and actions by govt to minimise homelessness, some people are still homeless by choice. You are smart enough to know what I mean.

Yawn.
