    There are always some Indian restaurants/ groups/ places of worship offering free food to the needy in almost every major city during such tough times. Kudos to the community!

    Would love to see more of this from Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Italian, Mexican, Continental, fast food chains etc restaurants as well. A lot of them have deep pockets and they can do more. Where are the CBD cafes and high end restaurants? Please post their details on OzB in case someone is aware of any which is actually doing some good work and isn't posted here.

      A lot of the Asian restaurants don't make much, small businesses only make $100-200 a day whilst doing selling, cooking, buying produce, etc. Lots of hard work involved for not much appreciation and money, tough times for them too since a lot are run by immigrants with not many westernized skills

        • [Deactivated] on 07/06/2021 - 17:47
          +2

          Yes, there's people who get paid $12 an hour to make pastry for a whole day.

          Of course you can complain. But the boss will just fire you and take someone else.

                  @Yankyviking: Depends.

  • Boogerman on 07/06/2021 - 08:22

    To think how neoliberalism has lead to this point in 2021 of so many people going hungry.
    LNP voters, your greed & selfishness is predominantly to blame. And to think that a greater proportion of you espouse ‘doing unto others’.

    • knackers on 07/06/2021 - 08:31
      +7

      Austerity for the working class and a free-for-all for the shareholder billionaire class. The LNP are planning to force people to reach into their own pockets to pay for hip, shoulder, back surgery. Instead of applying an effective corp tax rate on highly profitable multinationals (many of which are making a killing looting our natural resources) they choose to hit vulnerable individuals.

      Cases in Victoria: 20,650. Deaths in Victoria: 820. Primary Source of Infection: Close Contact. Total Covid-19 tests: 6,815,053. Number of Lockdowns: 4.
      Cases in NSW: 5,607. Deaths in NSW: 54. Primary Source of Infection: Overseas Arrivals. Covid-19 tests: 6,229,543. Number of Lockdowns: 2.

      Health is not listed in the Constitution - it is a STATE responsibility. The laws that govern pandemics are STATE laws. The public servants who administer the systems are STATE public servants. The cause of people being unemployed or being unable to go to work due to a government lockdown is thus a STATE responsibility.

      Because the Victorian Labor Government have again woefully managed Covid, including their "gold standard" contact tracing system they claimed they had fixed, and allowed community spread, the Victorian people have again been plunged into lockdown, preventing casuals from continuing their regular employment. Victoria continues to lag behind other states because the Victorian Labor Government still can't adequately administer the health system they are in charge of.

      The Victorian Labor Party who are to blame for most of the Covid deaths in Australia, most of the spread, and probably most of the economic distress.

      Also, I have no idea what everyone in Australia has against a Queensland political party?!

      • [Deactivated] on 10/06/2021 - 11:13

        Aged care - where by far the majority of deaths occurred - and quarantine are federal resonsibilities. Morrison and his mates did nothing about fixing the Aged Care problems which were outlined in detail in the RC, nor did they have any plan or give any consideration to the obvious issues which would arise wrt care of the elderly in privately run homes when Covid-19 became an issue. By and large they still haven't. If Rudd and Garret were indirectly responsible for the deaths of 4 insulation installers then so are Morrison and Colbeck for the 680 aged care deaths from Covid-19. That's simplistic and it lets public servant chiefs, private home operators and grossly irresponsible individuals off the hook far too easily. Colbeck is primarily to blame and under any normal system of government would have resigned long ago. Morrison's Ministerial standards are however so pathetic that not only did he not ask for Colbeck's resignation, he left him in the same portfolio! Perhaps he should have consulted Jenny because his pentecostal praying obviously hasn't helped.

        In lieu of your conservative-inspired ignorance I suggest you read how the latest Vic outbreak occurred. It shows that quarantine in this country as it stands is little more than a band-aid solution. Indications are that the source actually acquired C19 in quarantine but having served his time he jumped on a plane to Melb and went about his business. As experts have said, and most reasonable people have understood, had he flown to any city the result could easily have been the same.

        What we have known for a long time is that hotel quarantine is a second rate system and despite numerous calls for dedicated facilities from experts and state leaders many months ago it has taken until May 2021 for Morrison to react. Dutton dismissed the Vic proposal saying that it was "smoke and mirrors" - although I suspect he was thinking about the Morrison government's complete lack of a Covid plan from the outset and their attacks on state governments when he said that.

        Congratulations though. Your recollection of the conservative playbook mantra for newbies is spot on. Now if only you can concoct a new angle to explain Dan Andrew's fall and drag your conspiracy theorist mate Louise Staley of her self-constructed cesspit you'll be in line for a promotion. Perhaps it was 5G, or maybe he jumped the vaccination queue and nano-particles caused his injuries, not a fall?

    • Wardaddy on 01/07/2021 - 12:34

      How's that communism thing working out around the world? Capitalism has led more people out of poverty than any other system.

      • Boogerman on 01/07/2021 - 12:59

        Capitalism has destroyed the environment & lead to the latest generation of humans being financially worse off than those before them. It also has also killed hundreds of millions through regional & world wars.
        That capitalism ‘has led people out of poverty’ is a simplistic narrative parroted by simpletons, over & over & over

        • Wardaddy on 01/07/2021 - 15:51

          Whereas socialism/communism has been soooo successful, Russia, Venezuela, Cambodia, China, all of whom slaughtered millions of their own people. And BTW, ad hominem attacks only detract from any scrap of credibility you may have had. Calling people simpletons, or other names, because they have a different view from you is very much a left wing trait. If you have no sensible argument, resort to name calling, as small children do.

          • Boogerman on 01/07/2021 - 18:25

            @Wardaddy: Authoritarianism is often conflated with communism/socialism because a country with a dictator gave it a said designation (which doesn’t mean it is so). A common mistake by capitalist spruikers, because they wilfully ignore their own country’s significant failings (& often have a religious belief so as to virtue signal righteousness to themselves within their own mind)

            • Wardaddy on 02/07/2021 - 11:08

              @Boogerman: Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, Hugo Chavez, Castro, Xi Jinping. Authoritarianism is conflated with socialism because socialism is an authoritarian system, and EVERY country that has tried it has resulted in people being murdered by their own socialist leaders.

              • Boogerman on 02/07/2021 - 11:11

                @Wardaddy: Socialism is the antithesis of authoritarianism.
                Socialism involves worker cooperatives & taking the concentration of power away from business owners

                      • Boogerman on 03/07/2021 - 09:21

                        @Wardaddy: Unfortunately peer reviewed study after study has found that not only conservatives score lower on average on IQ tests than progressives, but also have lower average levels of education & said education is less likely to be in the field of science.
                        So even average IQ for a progressive would give a conservative an altitude inducing bleeding nose
                        And then there’s the overwhelming majority of conservatives who believe in 2,000+ year old books of fairytales (a.k.a magical thinking)

                          @Boogerman: Nonsense. The studies, such as they are, show the opposite. The majority of conservatives in America are Christians, but not elsewhere. And would you be as quick to condemn Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, etc. or is it just white people that you're racist against? Perhaps Mohammed really did fly to heaven on a winged horse?

    Absolutely fantastic effort.
    For those who don’t have means to get to the restaurant or are two far away, request Sikh Volunteers Australia. They have been supplying hundreds of free vegetarian meals to people door steps. If you don’t need meals you can help by donating or volunteering. I spent three hours on Friday evening delivering meals in Melbourne South East. Left with enormous satisfaction and a free hot meal too. @mods maybe we should post this as a deal to help it get out to more people.
    Thank you.

    Its possible the owners are Sikhs.

    One of the main teachings of Sikhism is Kar Seva (Seva - a selfless service that is performed without any expectation of result or award for performing it. Such services can be performed to benefit other human beings or society. Seva means 'service', referring to the selfless efforts for welfare of all. A more recent interpretation of the word is "dedication to others".)

    • Zapwap on 07/06/2021 - 12:15

      I feel terrible for you mate, actually i feel terrible for all those who pulls in a religious angle when someone is doing something better for the community.

      Isn't it enough they all belong from India and as matter of fact they all are Indians?

      Just so you know and just to prove you wrong, a lot of my friends from India from my uni volunteer at iskon temples where a countless times I ate for free, irrespective of harder or softer times.

      There are many Indian restaurants in cbd I came across such as crossways, om etc. They too offered free food for needy last year.

      I didn't really see a religion but a kindness and generocity when help was offered, not because I'm not relegious in any sense but that's always the right thing to do.

      • cookie2 on 07/06/2021 - 12:28

        Don't be too sensitive mate. The information has been shared and the assumption made, due to the name of the organisation being sihk volunteers Australia. I actually enjoyed reading the bit of information about a religion that I know nothing about and thought it was really cool.

    Nice gesture! However, we have to ask ourselves why a rich country like Australia is in this situation to begin with?

      no we dont, high living costs, mental health issues, substance abuse, happens everywhere regardless of how rich the country is

        Wanna make a bet that, without even looking at the stats, that Nordic/Scandinavian countries don’t have as much homelessness & poverty as Australia?

          Swedens is actually quite similar but my point is that im not surprised homeless levels are high here, it shouldn't be that way but it can easily happen when drugs are rife and a lack of mental health services in Oz regardless of us living in.a rich country 😥

      It's called Covid-19 bsw, but I get your point.

      Anyone have Gerry Harvey's email so I can send him a link to this wonderfully generous deal? By my calcs he has about 5 million taxpayer funded meals he could contribute.

        Lol we were heading into a recession long before covid so ppl need to stop saying this. The liberals have ruined our country and sadly Labor ain't that much better.

          Agree, however a recession and Morrison's huge public debt (already the largest in Au history before Fraudenburg's save-my-electoral-arse budget) has little to do with bsw's comment. The number of people needing help was already increasing under Pentecostal Scott's "Christian" policies (yes that's sarcasm) but C19 has made the need more urgent for plenty. https://www.michaelwest.com.au/australian-charities-struggle…

        He had the biggest sales ever but refused to pay back JobKeeper money and nobody ask him to pay it back. Individuals, however if made the wrong claim, they will have to pay it back. The result of the "crisis", rich get richer while poor get poorer, left to pay a debt for future generations…

          Harvey reportedly pocketed $22M of taxpayer dollars his company didn't need or earn. He's not the only one but in a show of good faith Solomon Lew's company has decided to give its $15.6M of the incompetent Morrison's unregulated largesse back, unlike hypocrite Harvey.

      Simple, most Aussies care about themselves and what they have. They don't care about the poor, disabled and unfortunate.
