"The Australian economy has been going 'gangbusters', and many of us are enjoying the prosperity with new homes, cars, and overseas holidays.
But a new report prepared for the welfare agency Anglicare shows not everyone is sharing the boom, and having a job is no guarantee against poverty.
'Life on a Low Income', is a series of studies and anecdotes about how some Australians are going without food to pay the bills, and are being tipped over the edge by misfortunes as simple as a broken fridge.
Anglicare helped 87,000 families and individuals with emergency relief last year. It's watching carefully to see how the government's new welfare-to-work and workplace relations laws will affect the poor."
Yes folks, not everyone is travelling well in Australia, the so-called Lucky Country - as this report, here, on ABC Radio National's Breakfast program interviewing the Chairman of Anglicare clearly highlights.
