So Australia doesn't have a free lunch program of any kind for poor kids? That surprises me, you guys are generally more socialist than we are. They're pretty standard over here. Free breakfast too, assuming your family qualifies.

No free lunches, but you have to realise that with our government supplements....there is really no need.

You get money per child you have in your legal care, you get cheap medications if you are a low income earner and most of the supermarkets have a day where *pension card* holders (that can be low income pensioner or age pensioner) get a discount off their groceries (excluding alcohol and cigs).
