new tourism option

Exclusive Backpackers. Sounds good. A great place to stay while in Perth.

Also providing government sponsored accommodation for homeless people. Just what a backpacking tourist needs, cheap accommodation shared with drunks, druggies and derelicts. The down-and-outs who have run out of other options.

What next?

"Come to Perth. Extra cheap. Sleep on the streets. And if you survive, the government will put you up for free, mixing with the best of the city's vagrants."

That's sure to bring in the tourists.

On a more positive note:

Government-sponsored accommodation in a cheap backpackers hostel -- it's a good idea. With social workers to minimise problems and counsellors to help the down-and-out to get up.

Just don't mix it with tourists. Backpackers may be willing to accept rough conditions. They are less likely to enjoy unexpected encounters it with the rough end of our society.
