Armin is the sole breadwinner for his family of ten, but he can't get enough work since the pandemic

Living pay check to pay check is a reality for millions of young Sydneysiders.

As his employer cuts back shifts due to the economic fallout of the pandemic, he's now lucky to clock 10 hours a week."The problem is that casuals have no guarantee. I'm available every day for working, but there's no shifts." "While my family can push through on Centrelink here, I'm the only one who is providing for my wife so those payments can't stop," he said.Aside from sending money to his wife, his pay check would go towards covering bills and affording the simple luxuries of life.Armin's wife and child are waiting for visas to join him in Australia.

Mr Singec estimates about 1 in 10 young people in the local community financially support their family unit.

Clearly Armin can not support his family! cancel his visa and his family application so Australian doesn't get more unemployed migrants bludging off unemployment benefits.... This has been going on for to long!!

He'd only spend any extra money on drugs and alcohol, according to the LNP's Ruxton.

with 10 kids I'm sure centrelink payments coupled with family tax A and B would probably be more money than what he makes working.

BLM! Are they White Caucasian Afghans or indigenous Afghans of Colour?
