I actually felt sad for these people. As a bloke that grew up on the "wrong side of the tracks" and made a committed effort in my mid teens to not die/become a drug addict or a professional dole bludger. What they need is more support & role models, if you have not been in that socio demographic you really do not understand the challenges that we take for granted. My initial thoughts after watching was how could I potentially help there plight, if more took the same view society would be better for it

Young boys all have the ability to become good men ..the issue is that the way their brains work they need to be shown the way.. they are very much monkey see monkey do.. without sounding sexist.. most of the issue is centred around the young boys as if they change they generally take a girl/children with them on a journey to a better place.
I always say to my wife if we won 30mill in lotto I would set up a bush camp for troubled young men, where they could be broken down shown how weak their perceived strength is and built back up again...To which she replies "id be happy if you could get our 2 to tidy thier rooms"
I take my hat off to people who have like swannie managed to escape from this cycle, I was fortunate to have a dad who worked 2 jobs and a culture that disrespects bludggers.
who knows what the answers are but handing out free houses and money has to stop... our country cant afford it for much longer, we are only 200 odd years old whos to say we will last another 200.
