An unrepentant Tony Abbott is refusing to apologise for saying taxpayers should not be expected to fund the “lifestyle choices” of Australians living in remote communities, despite a backlash from indigenous leaders.
The Prime Minister made the comments on Tuesday while backing a West Australian government plan to close up to 150 remote Aboriginal communities.http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/lifestyle-choice-tony-abbott-stands-by-controversial-comments-despite-indigenous-leader-backlash-20150311-140mn5.html


So Indigenous poverty and disadvantage is clearly just a "lifestyle choice".
And this of course has nothing like the old practice of moving traditional ownwers off their land.
At least those poor, downtrodden multinational mining companies won't have to be bothered with all those inconvenient things like negotiations with the residents, compensation etc.

Tony Abbott is a sociopathic sleazebag, a fool, and a liar too. That explains why he thinks that those who are poor are poor by 'choice', and not other circumstances that are, or were, beyond their control.
