I do have empathy to others, but pension nowadays is just under $1000 a fortnight and as far as I know people living in the housing commission properties pay 20% of their income in rent. That leaves $800 per fortnight. That is not bad, and in no way living from cheque to cheque, running out of food the week before pension day. Old people who pay market value rents, or those who have houses and pay rates, and need to pay for repairs and upkeep of their properties, are in considerable worse position.
I did big shop in ALDI yesterday, buying about double or triple than I would normally, and it came to $80, then today I got all the veg and fruit I could plus $15 bucket of honey and it cost me under $40.
Yes, I saw also the woman claiming her grandmother does not have food. They did not prevent her from passing the parcel to somebody, they just did not allow here to enter the building. If the old lady cannot come down she can ask one of her neighbors to go down and collect it for her. From the reports I saw there is a strong community in those buildings and people are looking after each other. They are not confined to their appointments, they are not allowed to leave the building.
There are number of charities that are bringing food parcels and meals.
In meanwhile many people who lost everything in the fires are living in tents and caravans without running water, and the remnants of their houses are only just now starting to be removed (due to the COVID19). There are tough times ahead for many people, and some will be affected worse than others, but looking at what is happening overseas and in our refugee concentration camps, we are still lucky.
If I was bringing something for resident of that building I would have attached note saying "please, take to Susan in flat 102" or what ever.
