I Investigated the Cost of Living Crisis..

[@jamiezhu]

Guys, I have launched a GOFUND ME! Anyone that would like to donate to Anne and Diane (the last 2 ladies) please click this link here- 100% of all funds will go to them: gofund.me/83897202 All donations will go to Anne and Diane to help them pay for essential food items such as meat and also medical bills. As little as $1 will go a long way :)

[@Motorizedmadness]

Will you be donating it back every year to Anne and dianne, it is a tax deduction that can be claimed back by the person who set up the account and im guessing that was you or management.

[@Motorizedmadness]

You should organise an event in your local community for your community, you have enough influence and the right way of talking to people instead of asking people who are most likely in the same boat as Anne and dianne for donations ask small business to donate there time and equipment in turn promoting small business which is being hit hard as well atm. That would get respect from a lot of people.

[@Motorizedmadness]

For someone who has been blessed by God to be in the position you are in, you have the opportunity to reach millions of people instead you use that platform to ask your followers to donate get of ya bum n raise the money yourself. Your like the government we donate an amount of our wages to tend the schools roads hospitals ect only to be charged again to use these services.

[@realfamilyman]

@@Motorizedmadness I've lived in a government housing area for 10 years among pensioners and dole bludgers. People in government housing get heavily discounted rent, pay only a percentage of their income - so rent increases DO NOT AFFECT THEM like everyone else. And those who are in private rentals could share with a friend, but many CHOOSE not to. What does that tell you? Are they REALLY struggling if they could clean out their second unused bedroom to halve their rent, but don't? I'm on a pension too - and I lived among people who knew and took advantage of every trick in the book. Most, not just a few, had more free $$$ than working people do, yet like these two they still cry poor. You only need look at their weight to know they're not missing out on calories. But sure, they're "poor" but only after they go to McDonalds, KFC, buy Coke and chips and cigarettes and cakes and biscuits and grog, play the pokies, eat at the local bowling club, after they avoid home brand products "because I don't prefer them", only after everyone in the family has a mobile phone and plan, NBN, gets their ears and face pierced, tattoos, playstations, every new video game, pay TV subscriptions, etc. Mark my words, they almost certainly go to the Smith Family for their bills too. All you have to do is show you're on Centrelink and your bank account is low or empty and they will pay your bills (so most have a second bank account they keep at $1 balance). And don't believe people when they say they can't afford things like a freezer either. They CHOOSE not to "afford" it. Everywhere I've lived for the last 40 years has had charities, recycling centres, etc who give away or sell cheap donated fridges and freezers for $200 or less. There's also whitegoods on Facebook Marketplace most of the month. Centrelink also arranges no interest loans with small repayments to buy a new one. Similarly, they can also get an advanced Centrelink payment every 12 months with a repayment plan where Centrelink holds back a few $ per fortnight. And these are just off the top of my head in 30 seconds - there's probably more! There's also charities who cook free meals - often two will be an hour or two apart - so many of these bludgers will eat at BOTH. Then they'll say they only had lunch today, will have no dinner - yeah, because they've stuffed themselves at at least two different venues. There's other charities that ask supermarkets for food donations which they pass on cheap or free. The Smith Family also gives a couple of bags of canned goods per fortnight. And local community centres who will give each person a couple of kg of free meat like chicken drumsticks or wings, free fruit and veg from supermarkets (no, not because it's off - they just give a certain amount of charity every week), free loaves of bread from Baker's Delight etc which is picked up daily after closing time - and the list goes on and on. Such people know every con in the book but still cry poor when suckers like this guy appear, or when whining to Centrelink, the Smith Family, etc. Same goes for any homeless people in Australia who have NO bills so have SEVERAL TIMES MORE FREE CASH than working people - plus all the free and cheap stuff I've mentioned above. Sure, some people have unexpected events happen. I had to go to the Smith Family years ago when an unexpected bill wiped out my bank account for the fortnight ahead with the fridge empty - but the ones who cry poor every week while taking advantage of all these other things? NEVER give those ones ANYTHING, or at least have the sense to only buy them food AND not do it regularly.

[@simplylux1589]

​@@Motorizedmadness agreed! Happy to help too! A lot of people in the community will be happy to volunteer their own time to make things and sell it on a fair like event. All money raised can go to cases like this.

Dear Surgeon Lady, I worked so hard I broke my body. Another Surgeon Lady bungled a surgery that left me on disability and bed ridden for 6 yrs. I had to use all my super to pay for corrective surgeries. I have struggled to regain my health so I can get back to work, but recently found out for 47 yrs I have got through life with hip dysplasia and now need a hip replacement. Surgeon Lady, because I’m on disability and have no more money to pay surgeon type ppl and am in far too much pain to go back to work to pay for said surgery, I have to wait until I’m 65, living everyday with pain and limited physical ability. Surgeon Lady … go EAD!

@@emilyperrett6648 the sheer ignorance of these “pillars of society” absolutely astounds me! I’m so glad Jamie was able to help some beautiful individuals through this report whilst highlighting how the entitled mock those who are ill, disabled ect … None of us choose to to be sick! The cost of living is out of control and medical intervention is only for those who can afford it as the public system and NDIS are extremely broken. I didn’t write my post for attention, I am angry, sad and disappointed that a Surgeon Lady who clearly has a lack of empathy and understanding of us plebs can scoff at our misfortune. Just a few hours in our shoes Surgeon Lady, you’d be crying bloody murder and it would wipe that smug look from your face!

To be fair its because of greed and disproportionate focus given to ambition rather than family duties that has contributed to inflation too. Lack of child bearing women with extra cash changes society. Society would be different if family life was honoured higher than earning money.

Recently I bought a chicken and I started planting all the seeds from the food I bought from Coles. So far I have not needed to buy eggs, tomatoes and potatoes since. The produce is also much better especially comparing it to what I bought and what I grew from it. The tomatoes from Coles didn't have any juice inside but the ones I grew were juicy and delicious. I really recommend people do the same. If we all grow one thing then we can trade within our street and the community.

[@nomannothedark]

This video need to be seen by more people, and the government

[@Runawaykim]

Amazing video again Jamie! Been so heavily into these videos from you and keep em coming!

[@mattcapa2204]

Good on ya lad! That was inspiring…. Unfortunately at my age, 43, I fear it’s already way to too late for substantial change in Australia now. The amount of tax we pay is insane, Government services are almost useless, We are all suffering for a small few to profit. Without this changing there will be no progress ever!!! I sincerely feel Australia is doomed

[@coopsnz1]

There 125 taxes, is more under labor

[@coopsnz1]

Usa has fk all taxes why it cheaper to live, homes , cars & products cheaper to buy

[@coopsnz1]

Look how much taxes on a bade model ferrari in Australia it $250000 . Usa buyers pay $250000 less for a ferrari . Atm in my born country a 2007 ferrari f430 is $130000

The ladies from Mount Druitt are the salt of the earth type ladies, just like you, young man. I can’t help but notice the lines on either side of Dianne’s mouth (lady in the wheelchair) dropping down…that’s from years of having a hopeless and painful look on your face. God bless them. All the best to people all over the world. I hope everybodies circumstance in life gets better

What even is this comment.

It must be so nice to be an intelligent white woman that has had an upbringing that instilled her with enough confidence to go out there and access opportunities that reward you both financially and mentally. Imagine having that level of privilege and feeling that entitled. What a dream.

[@scoobycat20]

Yes, her servants should just work harder lol

[@Steeve1087]

Yeah, rich parents along the way most likely too

I'm so blessed that I can afford to stay healthy and sheltered in these unpredictable times. Wishing you all to stay safe and warm.

I love your work Jamie. It's good to see somebody putting the voices of the average Aussies front and centre. The crisis we are in now is the result of the mismanagement and crony capitalism from all parties both State and Federal over the last 30 years or so.

What happened to the lady with the wheelchair. That’s sucks that she has to start to pay at hospital and still very sick.

[@DaresDownUnder]

I work hospitality and I manage to pay my bills, eat healthy, exercise, have money to do extra things! Things have definitely gone up that’s not a doubt but I think there’s so many things put in place to help struggling Australians. Last year I did a volunteership in a third world country (where families literally live in houses made of sticks) and comparing that to Australia I still thing we live in one of the luckiest countries in the world. Compared to the UK and USA especially. We are so lucky to be Australian! Beautiful weather, amazing fresh fruits and vegetables, easily accessible education, mostly safe for women and young children, Centrelink support etc. I think the surgeon Lady is completely right, there’s nothing you CANT do here in Australia we are the lucky country.

[@36paris]

Really? You look like you’re about 12 years old! You have no responsibilities, have never been through any major stress, you don’t have anyone relying on you to survive. You’ve got no idea what it’s like yet, love.
