It would be lovely, but they were happy to have this published, and he is a finance manager. He should be better at managing his own finances. Who the hell has a 100k personal loan? Why are the repayments for their vehicles so drat high? Why have they not consolidated their debt?

To whine 'we just can't save money, it's impossible!' and also 'we choose a bigger house in a more expensive suburb because...' well thats it then, that and his bad loan choices. It's not impossible to live well on 200k, he's just voluntarily burning that money.

Plus they still manage to save 6k a year.

Update: day 3. Still remain free from apex gang custody.

I'm beginning to suspect the problem is vastly overstated,

Day 4: strange things are happening to me. At night I roam the streets looking for public barbecues and stereos to use. I fear that I am the apex gang.

It's not lovely to poo poo on someone on six figures a year, in townsville, complaining that they are just getting by battlers. If you're on that money you can be aware you're privileged and if you're just getting by there is a serious error in play here, not that Society Is Too Hard and needing to talk to the media about how hard it is.

Coming in late but if you can't survive here on that kind of .money you are prime guillotine material.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

fiery_valkyrie: Mar 26, 2003; I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

Who is going to blink first? The Nauruan govt or the Australian govt?

It�s like a competition to see who can treat refugees the worst.

quote:

Nauru�s government has ordered M�decins Sans Fronti�res (MSF) to stop work there immediately, despite a physical and mental health crisis in the country.

The medical NGO has been providing psychological and psychiatric services to residents, asylum seekers and refugees on the island since late 2017.

MSF staff wrote to its clients on Saturday to tell them it could no longer offer them treatment because of an order from Nauru�s health minister, who said the its services were �no longer required on the island�.

MSF said in its letter that the order meant its �mental health activities in Nauru must stop, effective today, Saturday, 6th of October�.

�We know this sudden news may be very difficult to hear and we deeply regret any challenges that this presents to you, all of our patients, and to the community.�

The organisation said it was seeking more information from the government, including the reason for its decision and what alternative services would be available.

An MSF spokeswoman said later on Saturday that the government had asked on Friday that its activities stop within 24 hours.

�At this stage MSF wishes to reiterate our strong commitment to providing quality mental health care to all those in need on the island,� she said. �We are extremely concerned that the health of our patients may be affected by this decision and urge the authorities to grant us permission to continue our lifesaving work.�
