Child poverty, homelessness hit new highs in mining-rich WA

‘From quarry to country - the 'resource curse’
"Australia a glorified quarry with some beaches. Australia does little besides digging stuff out of the ground to create national prosperity." Governance and tax enforcement is “the invisible machinery that turns a quarry into a country."

Courts have interpreted “reasonable notice” as 72 hours to 7 days, depending on context.

Same-day sweeps or surprise removals are likely unconstitutional.

We have an immediate need for teams of advocates in the field to document and communicate what is happening.

“Today has been a rough day, and unfortunately we’ll still have to raise around $145 to get tomorrow and the next night inside. I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay inside, not just because it’s getting cold and we wouldn’t have plumbing and electricity outside, but because we will be towed if we aren’t customers, and there is no way the RV will let us drive out of here. 
I did finally get around to finishing one commission today, and hope to get more work done tomorrow. It’s hard to manage how overwhelming everything is, but I am doing my best. Please help if you can. I’m putting all feelers out, sharing my sales when they pop up, sharing mine & Betty’s music, sharing the fundraiser, asking for art commissions, and giving it my all despite the complete hopelessness I feel inside. It’s getting heavier every day and I truly need rest and recovery. Please send good vibes.”

Trying to recover from homelessness requires a person to completely rewrite their personal SOPs from the ground up, by themselves, with competing, contradictory, and often false information that they have to perform as "help."

Recalled Baby Formula Went to Groups Serving Unhoused and at-Risk Families

This bottom-up SOP overhaul has to happen at lightning speed (bills cycle monthly and paydays often don't happen until 3 weeks after hire). So, while rewriting SOPs, based on faulty information, you also have to be able to give 20-40 hrs/week to #homeless #unhoused #loveland #camphope #help
