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 :)

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

I planted some herbs just to see and let a few of different variety sweet potato's go to sprouting so that I can plant these and put on balcony for green's for my smoothie. I bought dwarf carrot varieties and also heirloom radish, you can eat the leaves from radish and they grow fast. Sprouting lentils and wheatgrass and other legumes is great nutritionally...I also bought a dehydrator and have started making tomato relish and jam to swap with neighbours.

She doesn't work a labour intensive job. She has a high pay rate. She's still young and doesn't look like she has disabilities or illnesses. She seems to have a wealthy partner as well. She was in a place she was able to be ahead of others. She can also hire help with her kids or has family that will help. Not everyone has that. Clearly she doesn't realise that getting to be able to do what she did takes the right elements. Not everyone can earn her income even if they break their backs trying.

I understand what the surgeon was saying, but the reality is the vast majority of people do not and can not operate like that. Working hours like it's the industrial revolution leads to multiple mental health issues when there is no time to socialise, be with family, exercise or do anything that you might actually enjoy (ie be human) other than work. She may have had the drive to work hard to get the career she desired, but for many less advantaged it is working literally just to pay off the bills and stay afloat.

Housing!! Bring down the cost of housing and everything else will fall into place. There are so many low cost building and construction methods and many areas that land can be had cheaper as well as taxes and duties that can be reduced BUT that will push down the value of every home and the rich people that already have homes will never agree to that

@@Steeve1087 people are where they worked hard for (or didn't). Also a lot have jobs, not because they're suited for it, but because they needed the job to get by. Grass are greener for some jobs, but it's not right to belittle the surgeon, saying she has no idea, for she worked hard & she still is to better herself on that field. So there's no need for comparison, for they have chosen different paths or roles in life.
