In his time in East Timor Mrs Bailey met with many local families in their role as Youth Ambassadors.

"I saw people without access to safe drinking water, I saw people who ate once a day, I saw people eating beetle nut, a natural drug that stops the pain of hunger, because they do not earn enough money to buy basic food" said Mrs. Bailey.

"I was out of work, but I've never been not to assist in a situation where I had enough money for me or my family, and that's what many people know East Timor".

His state of South Australia house was recently the state with the highest unemployment rates in the country, it is fasteners industry and thrifty spending on state and federal budgets over.

But Mrs. Bailey is hoping residents will recall other more serious problems.

"Even if we are out of work in Australia, access to a lot of things that people in other countries do not have, such as free education, we have free health care [and] [legal services], if we can help you," she said.

"We can always spend a head of government in the week, and the provision of adequate food and electricity and running water."

So what can feel in financial difficulties at the time, Mrs Bailey said it was always good to try to see things from a global perspective.
