The bottom line is that as of the new year, this woman and her children will be homeless.

They will join an ever increasing number of homeless.

People like Gordy would prefer to stalk these people on social media (he keeps doing it) to attempt to mitigate from their desperate plight but whatever he says, this woman and her children will be homeless come the new year. Her trip to Singapore wouldn't have forestalled this.

This is the face of the homeless, Australia, 2023/24. Please do not mistake it for something else.

What her case shows is the importance of developing bonds in the community
She worked as a nurse
She was highly integrated into a system filled with compassionate people
She could have had the emotional intelligence to understand the fundamentals of human relationships
That we must give first before we receive
A concept that is lost on the left and there taker mentality

But I digress
She could have thrown herself into her work and helped her fellow nurses when they were busy
She could have organised cakes for staff members when it was their birthday
She could have gone the extra mile for patients
She could have encouraged and mentored younger nurses
She could have shown herself to be a beacon of competence confidence and compassion

Then when she falls on hard times
She has a safety net of colleagues who truly love her and respect her and would never see her out on the street

If you end up homeless I would ask you
Where are your friends
What have you been doing

Currently we are experiencing fairly severe blackouts which have lasted several days in my local area

We have the power on
And my lovely wife
Has had a stream of nurses from her hospital

Coming over to have showers and meals and put food in freezers and to borrow generators

The left don't understand this
They form no friendships
They have no resilience
They do not understand personal responsibility
And when disaster comes which it always will
The whine and sook and expect government assistance

I call it the cry baby mentality
A cry baby can think only of itself
If I cry baby would give before it expects to receive life would go a lot better for it

I'd say in this case, it's about the rural sense of commitment to community vs the relative nuclear community unit in urban communities, not political alignment.

In one of the local towns tamborine
On boxing day morning I would estimate there were 200 trees across the main road
I was going through there just on dawn
And pulled up with several other guys to start hauling logs off the road
Soon there was an army of people with chainsaws
Four-wheel drives with snatch straps and we had the whole road cleared in an hour

If this task was handed over to the government
We would have seen
Traffic control people spending the day putting out cones
Setting up green lights and red lights
People queued for miles
And 16 council workers standing around leaning on a broom
Whilst one made a token effort to move some twigs

I'm sure this is the case with the billions of dollars being put into the homelessness situation
In California I remember Joe Rogan researching and finding that nearly 100 civil servants working in the homelessness area we're on salaries of over 200k
In order to increase their salary they needed to increase the size of their department
Inviting illegal immigrants to California
Was the ticket for them to afford that holiday home

People and community are very functional

When government tries to solve a problem
It immediately becomes dysfunctional and invites scammers and carpet baggers

Homelessness
Aboriginal communities
NDIS

Honey pots for arseholes

It doesn't take much imagination to figure out what would happen if government cleanup crews did not ensure safety issues are paramount.

Those safety issues extend to workers and locals.

Spontaneous local cleanup crews are more likely to be forgiven by locals for risky procedures and minor accidents in the way formal government crews would not be.

Get over yourself Mr Smith

Go and check out the figures for volunteers for urban state emergency service crews

They are at an all-time record low

Seems like you urban creatures would rather sit in your basements having rape fantasies about Donald trump then do something constructive Grin

I reject that

People with a can do attitude focus on the task at hand
People with an I don't want to do attitude focus on ticking boxes dotting eyes and crossing tees

I would back a focusing volunteer over a disengaged council worker every time

Have a think about how many laws government workers would break if they just did stuff without regard for regulated safety procedures.

It would all be fine... until it wasn't... such as in the event of an accident... Then comes the locals' complaints, demands for compensation, the council inquiry, the recriminations, the charges of negligence...

You know why? It’s preposterous… but volunteers that were not COVID jabbed were not allowed to! Angry

We have gone full circle

The complaining whining cry baby mentality if you did have an accident
Should be dealt with by accepting that s*** happens

Instead we build a game where people are incentivised to be cry babies
When you incentivize something you get more of it

If I cut my self chain soaring a log on a public road
I would hope I have the character
To accept that that was fully my fault
And next time I need to be more careful

By making mistakes and learning from them people become more competent
By trying to legislate that mistakes must never be made
People remain useless infants

No wonder they don't want to volunteer for the SES
They probably shouldn't
It's probably better that they remain in front of their screens virtue signalling about Gaza or ranting about trump

You're over-estimating rural people.

Community-mindedness in rural communities is generally only extended to those within the community.

Rural people are just as capable of outrage as their urban counterparts where accidents are caused by outsiders - particularly government-employed outsiders.

Most rural people develop the skill of self-reliance
From a position of competence rural people realize that you still need to have each other's backs

Most urban people developed the skill of learned helplessness and the cry baby mentality
From a position of incompetence urban people see their fellow man as a competitor for scarce resources

There are literally hundreds of thousands of houses in urban areas with one inhabitant
4 bedrooms and two bathrooms
And yet the incompetent urban person refuses to take in the homeless nurse

A skilled nurse in a rural community would have no trouble finding accommodation Grin

Not too sure how this drifted so far off topic but I'm pretty sure aquascoot (and several others) would be quite happy to see the homeless and soon to be homeless (due to greedy people doubling rents, etc.) marched off to some sort of re-education camp where they can be taught all about "personal responsibility".

Won't do diddly squat for their chances of finding an affordable place to live of course (unless they're prepared to wait years on the ever lengthening public housing waiting lists Australia wide) but I'm sure it will bring some sort of perverted warm fuzzy feeling to aquascoot and his ilk.

And I'm also pretty sure that's all that matters to them.

$630 is the market price for her place.

Maybe she should have saved money instead of blowing it on an expensive holiday

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSNGHgDRL/

There's no place let alone her place worth $630 per week.

Market price you say?..... I say greed, profiteering and rental price gouging.

You don't know how to use RE.com to search? $630 is the lower end of the scale for a 3br house in that suburb.

You obviously didn't comprehend my statement.

I don't give a phukk what Real Estate Agents say... they're parasites helping cuase the problem chasing their cut for doing phukk all.

No weekly rents for middle of the road houses, flats etc. should be in the range you quote as market value.

If any of the landlords charging these rates have mortgage investment housing .. how many of them are paying $2,520 a month repayments on a loan?

It's all well and good for people to pull together and get in and get the job done without all the OTT Work Safety requirements.....

but had one of those people got injured in the process ...... who looks after their best interests if they can't work as a result?
