"She identified herself as 'Lois', she said that she was from the Department of Human Services … and what we were doing was fostering dependence among a section of the Aboriginal community," he said.
"There was an argument about that because we're there once a week — we can hardly provide a service on which people would depend."
Later, the group discovered it was Lois Boswell, the chief executive of the Department of Human Services.
'The fuck are you doing helping poor people? You're supposed to let them die'
Also, real cool with the use of dehumanizing language here, "fostering dependence among a section of the Aboriginal community"; interpretively read as "stop helping these dumb ******** because they're too dumb to help themselves if you do"
Fucking Australia
“fostering dependence among a section of the Aboriginal community”
She'd say "don't feed the animals" if she thought she could get away with it.
fuckin logged in to post this bullshit. that Tony Straccia removed needs the people's justice tbh.
super coincidental that the DHS chick also owns a pub next door. not at all suss.
Sparkke really market themselves as being tuned into social issues too, with each of their beer/wine cans boasting a slogan for various causes, like the (paraphrasing) Respect Women Pilsner or Welcome Refugees Ginger Beer. They've got a little record of performative action in the city, like the time they sponsored a music festival to get their own branded stage then didn't pay the dues for like two years
No amount of cans with "nipples are nipples" printed on the side can offset trying to shunt homeless in need a few hundred metres down the road where you can't see them from your beer garden balcony
Straccia sounds like a complete ghoul. And Boswell being the head of DHS is both salt in the wound and proof of the cut
…saying her intention is to reduce violence and anti-social behaviour.
a real catch-all term for anything the rich don't like.
This is awesome. I love that a 19 year old in a cardigan is waging war on behalf of the homeless.
He's a version of Nate Robinson we don't deserve. :gigachad:
Holy fuck that’s so evil I hope this removed is hit by a bus or something even more painful
