Oh yes, we're struggling alright.

Social services, Elderly care & support, Health services, Housing, Education, Disability support, Mental health, Unemployment, Policing . . . just a few of the areas that don't have the resources needed.

And before people mention that these (or any) refugees will fill vacancies in key areas . . how are we going to pay them if we can't afford to recruit anyone now?
