The fastest & cheapest way (above) is clearly not the best for the people concerned. Instead a long-term community-based strategy focused around changing the circumstances & attitudes of impoverished people and providing them with the support and education required for people to lift themselves out of the poverty trap is required. The structure must be extremely flexible to support different levels of need and ability and aim to foster everyone according to their needs.

Absolute poverty - that is having insufficient essentials in life (food, clothing and shelter) is easily overcome and could be totally eradicated (if the powers that be were serious about the problem).

Why would the powers-that-be EVER make a serious attempt to get rid of absolute poverty. It affects too small a % of the Australian population to make an impact on votes.
