The homeless i’m on about here…
I run a group that looks after homeless on our streets and in the parks..right down at street level where your arse drags on the ground and everyday blends into the next without meaning, and are looked down upon with shame and disgust..notice i said SHAME? and some of you you sit there and go ‘hmmm’ inside your conscience, but what can I do? you say.
Lucky enough to have a job?..hate it or not..it’s dollars in the pocket each week you never had..to feed your children and provide for the family…and when you at the employed level, mortgage on the house and car payments, rates and bills, it can be hard to manage even on average wages..but what could you really do?

digressing…
I got a late one last night from a murrie mob I look after…a lady (with an eye knocked out from a fight) and her man…and a friend that looks after both best he can..a man i admire greatly..they were needing a feed..(lots more to the story but thats none of your biz..)

Sunday is a quiet day and it’s hard to get a free feed somewhere…
So I cooked up snags, made hot choccy and soup and went shared a feed for an hour or so..not a bad evening..all the week before it rained for a few days and nights..

Where were we?….camped in a garden behind a row of bushes for the night in the main street…there’s 3-4 places to camp around the streets, now and then police and security move them on…from one place to the other…

Another night….freezing cold..
2 disabled chaps, one’s a carer…both ill, on medication and suffering from the cold late at night…one chap had bleeding ulcers over his legs..was sick and looking for a truck to step in front of.
no where to go…just wanted a shower and feed..bed for the night..

and it goes on..
The lives of faceless people going nowhere..
how frustratingly fkn sad..

Nooo….I don’t want to rehash all the rehashed theories and scenarios of the Corby Story..Everyone knows all about it I’m sure… And we all have our own views on it..but it is an Issue that won’t go away..
So..You can follow THIS LINK  that will take you to my FBD Forum with Discussions on it all from day one nearly..(Recently Voted Australia’s Best and No1 on the Schapelle Corby Issue)
Some views on FBD may not be positive in Schapelles ‘Fight for Freedom’, but her issues are discussed by everyday people, and I ask that respect is maintained.
I’ve followed the case from day one and actually was a staunch supporter..true blue..fairdinks and all that…time passes and a lot comes out..i still go the baggage handler theory…there’s more plusses on her side than negatives. But I do feel for her and her family very much..It was a huge media circus of the century..and schapelle was the star..ridiculed and demoralised in front of the world…very sad..

So..If your a supporter that totally believes in her innocence…
You’ll find Corby Central over at Free Schapelle

It’s not really whether she is guilty or not anymore…thats all past and gone..Now its about the 20 year bit..I still think that really sucks…for a bag of herb..(a slightly large one) But hey..what can you do in a corrupt country with no money? And then we have claims of mental illness? highly possible..If you get a long sentence, you go through stages of settling in..one of those stages is not losing the plot, if you do they put you drugs that keep you zonked for a while untill you either get it together to survive..or you pull the pin..gotta keep hoping..
So, don’t come here just to shitcan her and denegrate the family…she’s still a human being with a loving family that cares about her…and she’s one of us…Your welcome to put your personal views on it all and argue the point..just no throwin bottles…

Latest rumours….Schapelle to be transferred?…to another jail?..or home?
