1. La Pobreza como "Elección Política".

- Poverty is not inevitable its a political choice.
- Poverty is the conscious choice our governments have made for millions of australians.
- Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.

2. Estadísticas Alarmantes y el Fracaso del Bienestar Social.
