One in two voters is fully reliant on public welfare, page-19

The trader header replicates the article title.

I don't think the point of the article is to disparage public service and conflate with welfare.

I think the aim of the article is to point out that at present about half the national voters provide revenue to fund themselves and and the other half.

As the demographic time bomb ticks down that situation will only become more dire.
