Young Australians on welfare regularly skip meals and couchsurf, survey finds

<https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/nov/28/young-australians-on-welfare-regularly-skip-meals-and-couchsurf-survey-finds>

"Young people on welfare are regularly skipping meals and couchsurfing,
with a new survey finding that the majority are living on less than $14
a day after paying rent.

A report, based on an internet survey of 892 people between the ages of
16 and 30, found that more than 60% of respondents had less than $100
per week left after paying rent, and 37% were left with less than $50 a
week."

We need to do better.

Cheers,
