I remember Talah from the early 2000s he used to sit with his sign down Bourke st outside anz.

Talha is one of many who have now lived on the streets most of their lives. He is part of an underclass in Australia that should not be.

@jimschembri1279 back in the early 2000s i always did my best to help him out when id see him, looks like he has had his yearly haircut . I live in a regional Victorian town now, i do haircuts at one of the local charities regularly. Thanks Jim

It now costs $25 for a one nights shelter

@@MargaretCampbell583And sometimes more - even $35/40 a night. The cost of addressing emergency shelter for every homeless person is minuscule compared to the amounts wasted through governmental ineptitude. Thank you for your comment, Margaret.
