In Australia the cheapest rent is about $220/week; the maximum rent assistance on any pension is about $240/month. BRING BACK RENT CONTROLS!!!

Just fifty bucks a week
That’s all we get to keep,
Rent costs us two-hundred bucks
But we get back just fifty bucks a week.

For those of us on Job Seek
It’s just fifty bucks a week
Our rent may reach three-fifty bucks
But we get back just fifty bucks to keep.

Just fifty bucks a week.
Is what we get from that bloody creep,
While Rudd jetsets around the World
We get just fifty bucks a week.

Just fifty bucks a week
The Old-Age are far too meek,
They’re not about to inherit the World
On just fifty bucks a week.

For invalids life’s bleak
Their bills are far too steep,
Their rent’s a thousand bucks a month
But they get back fifty bucks a week.
