Because we don't accept that for any reason or under any circumstance any child born in Australia should be subjected to impoverished conditions as long as they are living on Australian soil!
There are lots of answers to what it means to be an Australian and what is meant by the Australian way of life. But there is one common theme in all the answers.
Regardless of where you have come from or how long you have been here, Australia, unlike anywhere else, offers opportunity to infinite possibility.
Australia is all about opportunity and EVERY child living in Australia should have the same access to the opportunity that our country, our society has to offer.
Our modern nation is built upon the premise of a fair go. But so many of the Government programs and the Religious and Corporate responses to poverty available today are based on economics, which is, ultimately, all about protecting the "have's and the have not's." - about maintaining the status quo.
Poverty is not about money! The fact is that if we gave everyone that was alive in the world today exactly the same amount of money each, within twelve (12) months some would have more than others and some would have considerably less. WHY? Because...
Poverty is about attitude, and the means by which a person can escape impoverished conditions can only be successfully achieved by changing the attitudes - past present and future - that bind them to the patterns in which they live.
All children living in Australia should have an equal opportunity.
An equal opportunity to access the infinite possibilities that our nation has to offer.
But the fact is they don't - from birth many 1000's of Australian children are denied the hope of possibility and are destined to perpetuate a cycle of poverty for themselves, their children, and their children's children.
But the cycle of poverty can be broken.
Australians are known throughout the world for their generosity to those in need. Our country spends billions in foreign aid, and private donations in helping people in other countries, even though we know it is the attitude of the Governments of those countries, the greed and corruption, that causes the ongoing poverty - we still give. Why?
Because Australia is all about giving people a fair go, an opportunity to do better.
"In the Lucky Country no child ought to be living in poverty." And the purpose of Family Focus Australia is to make that a reality.
