Sorry, as you were. Back to the serious discussion 
Oh bella 
you are more than welcome- I know you know I am genuine, which means a lot to me.
I dont think I have m/any answers, but I do believe- like you bella, that attitude is a key factor...a person can have all the support in the world, but if they cant be bothered, or wont make the effort, the support may as well not be there.

Yes very infantile... smiley wink indeed
The earliest exploration of the area was led by Captain Watkin Tench in 1789. The origin of this name puzzled historians for many years because the clue lay not in Blacktown City but on Norfolk Island.
Governor Philip Gidley King had been in charge of the first settlement there in early 1788 and had noted that the hillside where he had built his Government House had been difficult to dig owing to the amount of tree roots beneath the surface. The hill on Norfolk became known as the rooty hill and the name is now official.
[When King returned to New South Wales he built the headquarters for his government reserve of 1802 at the foot of a hill that reminded him of the Norfolk Island rooty hill and there can be little doubt that he named Blacktown's Rooty Hill after that on Norfolk where he had met his future wife and spent several happy and productive years.
The name Rooty Hill first appeared on a map in 1803. The Australia Day Ambassador since 2008 has been Brett Hinch.
Sir Douglas Mawson, a famous scientist, grew up in Rooty Hill
Poor people used to be quite thrifty, show this documentary to anyone genuinely starving and in need of shelter in the 3rd world and they would be in shock.
You 'can' shop sensibly and 'cook' sensibly. These are things that these people can control for a start. They can have dignity if they try or learn, do they want dignity though?

Ooooooooo
I felt the indigenous guy had some great points, he was out catching birds to eat and feed his pets. He had dignity
The young mum that went on to help people, she had dignity.
The show wasn't all negative, it had some great inspiration for people to do something worthwhile. There was a bit of the 'my' generations and the 'I want it now' generation.
Many of them probably feel quite secure knowing they will be bailed out. I wouldn't exactly call those in the program destitute, more like victims of circumstance.
