Charity Funds half-spent
Jul 6th, 2020 at 9:47am
 
Well I'm kinda agreeing with the Charities on this one.
Highlighted on Commercial Television recently, the Charities are being blasted as to why only 'half' of all the recent donations in the millions has been spent.

Truth is, that 25% of all people claiming for 'charity' money are frauds and scammers. Housos also putting their hands in after they were found busted trying to attain all the hand-outs given to the displaced and homeless during the fires. Scum who would refuse to help and then 'steal' from those in need.
The fraudsters and scammers are both rich and poor in their own way. Setting up 'fake' identities to get money from Charities and steal from those in need.

So the Charities are forced to take time, to sift out the liars and cheats, from those really in need.

In my view, then it's worth the time to get the job right.

Perhaps a visit to the burnt out house site would clear up any doubt very quickly.

But the charities like to hold onto the money as long as they can. Perhaps so they can selectively dole out the moolah to their political favorites first ?

There is always corruption when the public donate money to victims and the money goes thru a "charity".

My wife works as a volunteer social worker for a major charity.

You would not believe some of the people who come in begging for money and handouts.

But now, there is a register, it records details of every bludgers who comes in.

She has seen people who go from charity to charity begging for handouts.

One particular creature drives her late model Audi and parks it away from the charity.
She then proceeds to claim all manner of abuse, theft, hardship and troubles to get cash.

She hits up every charity in the area as well as centerlink.
But now this register is being kept, she is not getting what she wants.
She has threatened several social workers so far, not my missus yet.

Her and her aldi would be scrap if she tries.

These dead beats are everywhere.

And a large percentage of them are imported trash.

Exactly what the ex said - dropped a load of building stuff - near full pack of wall batts left over from my garage etc - to an old Army bloke north of here... he's still got people living in tents and does a weekly supply run.  Easy enough for the charity worker to drive out and see what the lay of the land really is.

Charities like to skim money to cover their own admin costs which can sop up nearly all the donated money.

The Rural Fire Service Charity (a lot are Fireys doing the call) is much the same. But the priority is stopping those, like Valkie explained. Scammers and Bludgers who 'mug' the Charities at any opportunity with falseness. They steal money that would otherwise go to providing $100 petrol for a small delivery truck.

I don't think people realise just how many of these type of people are out there. Australia thinks it's a country of giggly Celebrities trying out the next hobby - just for fun.

Some druggie down Narooma way applied for two grants for being burnt out - he rented nowhere near the fires, but they got him...

There's a good argument for public stocks in the middle of towns ........

However, Members of the Ozpol Parliament!  As I've laid out CLEARLY for you before - MANY of the people appointed at huge expense to handle claims simply are not up to the job... when you put some favourite sheila in a job at Nambucca at $95k pa plus Land Cruiser plus super plus perks... and she won't leave the office because she 'fears being attacked by fire victims in remote communities' ... WTF DID YOU PUT HER THERE FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE?

I know a couple of fine strapping Aboriginal blokes who would have no problem visiting settlements and sorting out who's who.  Put them on casual or on a short term contract and give them the Land Cruiser and all would be settled in 2-6 weeks in a government area, and they might even know some of the people personally.

For fairness' sake - make it one Abo and one White guy.... no problem-o... this farken sheilocracy in local and other government has to be stopped NOW.

And HEY!  Where's the camerophile Gladys on the issue raised by Greg Mullins of a dedicated fleet of water bombing CL-415 aircraft?  Not One Word from the bint... too busy making up for the cameras every damned day and doing farkall - including the deathly slow closing of the Vic border?

And where's Scotty on the same water bombers after his one statement on a Sunday night that the government would fund those aircraft?

kinda  agree with you on that.
I think Charities need to stop the bludgers/scammers both inside and out.

The eyes were opened when I discovered the UN was not a service to those afflicted organisation - it was a career path for those in it.  Supplying food and stuff to places like Somalia are a joke, when it is painfully obvious that sitting in an air conditioned hotel and posting reports and hardly breaking the Land Cruiser out for anything but an escorted run, rather than providing to needs on the spot, is the name of the game.

You ever wonder what the natives think when they see this kind of crap?  Same as our burnout victims here.... and it ain't endearing thoughts.

But don't you see Grapps. Taking the Landcruiser (why not Lorries anymore?) out for an escorted run is expensive. Best stay in and twiddle thumbs on paper. They even get charged Tourist rates by locals.
"No no no me sir. We sir charge you double charity rate. you give us sir more. we sir double poor!"

Had some Salvos guys drop off a 'heavy' cabinet for a client of mine. Put it just a few metres from driveway, said they won't take it in because of Corona now. Might be orders from above. It was left for me and an autistic teenage boy to take inside. They left their 'kung-fu' belts for us to help carry it and said I can drop them off this arvo.
After 3 hours of careful repititious instruction (having done heavy jobs like Removalling, Stonemasonry and more) until I was happy the Teenager understood the very important procedure of moving a cabinet (to which was up stairs and tight angle through verandah rails and door) and showed him the sense of removing 40% of the weight by taking off all doors and shelves. We took it in and he did very well.
I won't return the straps - they're infected by Corona now Wink
