[@xzz6845]

Grew up in Fitzroy public housing tower it’s horrible my parents where refugees from Africa they experience quite a lot of racism from the cops and there were Junkies everywhere gangs guns drugs by the time I was 12 I started hanging around with the an African gang there who I can’t name for various reasons by the time I was 15 I was sentenced to 7 years for attempted murder I got out of that life left Fitzroy moved to Wangaratta and I now own a business and I’m going really good these places are good for one thing you don’t have the opportunity’s rich kids have they get everything handed to them I’ve worked my way up on my own with fuck all opportunities.

I only went to private schools and my mother was a teacher and my father a cardiothoracic surgeon and I had every opportunity afforded to me in life. I started using heroin and doing armed robberies to support my habit and spent more of my 20s in jail than out and half of my 30s. I now work full time and have left that shit in the past. 6 years clean and 8 years out of trouble. A kid I played football with lived in the Flemington flats and his parents come over from Somalia and he's now a GP. Another kid from the same group of friends same background he owns his own business and is doing REALLY well. Life is full of choices. Just have to make the right ones

We should look after the place where we live, shouldn’t we? I clean my house and tidy up regularly.

The Victorian Department of Public Housing needs to be audited every 3-6months to ensure they are following the Law until they start performing to the basic standards outlined in their Policy & Procedures... Currently these P&P's are ignored entirely & staff are doing whatever the fk they want, while getting paid up to $120,000+ during a Social Housing Crisis.... I mean of you could get paid $120,000+ without having to follow any Policy or Procedure related to your Position of Employment, would you actually make the effort to do so? Only if you had a CONSCIENCE... Public Housing staff do not have a CONSCIENCE, nor are they required by Management or DHHS to follow the Law applicable to their jobs. As a result they continuously leave themselves open to pretty serious litigation every day, the problem is the people they are NEGLECTING, which is a form of Abuse, can't afford Litigation, so nothing ever changes... What they need is a SWIFT, HARD KICK in the fkn Ass every 3-6 Months, until performing to basic standards becomes the new workplace culture... I hope they recieve a SWIFT HARD KICK in the fkn Ass by the Courts in order to initiate regular Audits which are overdue by about 30 fkn years Working for the Department of Housing cannot actually be considered work, because it's actually a Tax Payer Funded RORT, where people are receiving damn good fkn money for doing sweet fuck all when the Law requires them to act

"In the context of care, neglect is a form of abuse where the perpetrator, who is responsible for caring for someone fails to do so. It can be a result of carelessness, indifference, or unwillingness."

[@bullterror5]

"A duty of care is a legal obligation to avoid doing things that could foreseeably cause harm to another person. A breach of a duty of care amounts to the tort of negligence if it leads to harm to a person. In Victoria, negligence is governed by the Wrongs Act 1958"
