St Vincent De Paul chief executive John Falzon called on leaders Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott to come clean with their plans to "significantly reduce poverty", which affects more than 500,000 children. "We reject the argument that people are to blame for their own poverty, or that poverty will decrease simply by making the economy stronger. In fact, we argue that we cannot build a strong and sustainable economy if we abandon 2.3 million people to a life of poverty."
