(above) This ex-Anglicare building in Salisbury was empty for one year before a speech pathologist moved in. The homeless person's mattress was pushed aside from the verandah and a window was broken. Someone appears to live inside the building, but the power to the smoke alarm has stopped.
(above) The Wine Centre menu at the Kilburn Fred's Van free pre-Christmas meal at the Kilburn Community Centre, Gladstone Ave., Kilburn. There weren't any hampers, but the Fred's Van paid coordinator Teresa Branch was there. She sat with Rudi and a bossy woman. She should have mixed with the guests and listened to our comments on the weekly service. Fred's Van Kilburn has resumed its Thursday 7pm free service.

(above) The alcoholic asked the UnitingSA alcoholic rehabilitation crowd at Bowden whether they knew that Food Bank was selling alcohol next door via Listerine. Alcohol is hugely popular in outback towns where the government has stopped sales of liquor and cask wine.

“So many friends... So many foes... I ain't been in the pit or shit for life... But i seen the movie. Join the clicks. Feel the ticks... The shame is shameless... I'm not here to preach... Cos i know i can't save you. I'm sure you are looking good at this plentiful time of year... Remember the hands you hold so tight.... For preservation and protection... Are merely there to help you help them. Know that you own thine self... Practice your strength solemnly. Or be a shaved sheep desperate for some dog to round you up. My money ain't clean... But my nose is... Peace.” Anonymous 12 January 2020 On the Street
After a client complained that Lifepoint staff were packing up the chairs and tables before the 12:00pm close time, the following week the tables were kept untouched until 12:00pm. It is rare that a charitable group responds to clients’ criticisms. * A disabled man living in the Housing Trust apartments at Kent Town said he’d finally gotten rid of the Ice dealer in the unit above him. HousingSA had given her two choices: accept an immediate transfer or be put onto the streets. She chose a transfer. It was to Ceduna with the Basics Card. * An interesting question was asked during the December heatwave: Can someone banned from a homeless joint go there during a Code Red heatwave? Would that person be told to leave? * A white woman was heard yelling at a Salvation Army soldier at the Unley Corps free Christmas lunch. She yelled that white people should be treated as well as other groups. The soldier listened with his head bowed until she walked away. Her views are nearly universal amongst welfare clients. * The Kill Box Lady’s daughter said she collected $600 for the Arndale Salvation Army Corps in three hours just before Christmas. The Lady and her daughter are both soldiers. * Two big trucks were in the mini carpark at the Anglicare retirement units at Elizabeth. One had delivered a new fridge to the empty refugee-ready unit. A second truck had arrived and the drivers were rebalancing their loads. They’d only perform such an operation outside welfare units. They knew no rich homeowner would tolerate it. There had been a problem of lack of refugees. Neighbours said the unit had has never had a resident refugee, just plenty of bureaucrats making morning visits. However, this changed last week when two “refugees” arrived with their bureaucratic entourage. It must be hard for them to be plonked amongst a group of underclass white people who talk about their friends and relatives been kept out of welfare housing in preference to “internationals”. Meanwhile, a white woman refugee advocate said that 99.9% of Anglicare tenants welcomed the refugees and for the rest “we consult the police”. How did this situation come about? * A writer at the Barossa Herald newspaper warned people not to eat unhealthy donated charity food at Christmas, but instead eat fresh vegetables and canned three-bean mix. * Vicki, a housing officer with Anglicare at Elizabeth Grove, took a sickie on New Year’s Eve. * Collette the social worker at Chat and Chew in Port Adelaide couldn’t give away enough chilled hams on-the-bone at their free Christmas lunch. They were 8-10kg hams and they’d got a truck load of them. The preacher took some to nursing homes and the fire station, but they still had too many. Collette asked one man five times to take a ham. He didn’t want a ham. But he did say there weren’t many people at the lunch, but it was “a really good day.” * Mark Parnell, SA MLC, was speaking on radio station 5AA. He referred to women as women and men as blokes. This is typical feminist sexist use of language. Can you image the uproar if he’d referred to men as men and women as chicks? Mark is another unfortunate politician trapped in a narrative. * A very old man without teeth couldn’t eat the “hard” food at the Unley Christmas lunch. He later went to the Pilgrim Church. He said, “I had a good meal there. I was able to serve myself and got some takeaway. Everything okay.” * A boy wasn’t happy with his gift at the Chat and Chew free Christmas lunch. He saw another boy with a better gift. He asked his mother if he could bash the other boy and take his gift. “No,” his mother replied. * A man told Collette the social worker that he’d become dehydrated during the heat wave and ended up in hospital. “Do you think it had anything to do with your drinking?” she asked, referring to his beer drinking. He got mad and said, “No,” and Collette carefully talked about staying cool and hydrated during heat waves. 11 January 2019

Listerine dreams
A man bought a litre of Listerine from Food Bank inside the Uniting Care Wesley Bowden building. It cost him $1.50. He was outraged. He let it be known. Listerine is 17% alcohol. He asked the Food Bank staff if they had a license to sell alcohol. As an alcoholic he knew that desperate drinkers will drink anything containing alcohol. It is popular in the Kimberley. The Halls Creek IGA had a large display near the cash registers, as big as Woolworths in Broome. It was close to the cash registers for security reasons. You’d think every person in town used Listerine. Or a smaller number drank it. Anyway, the man who bought the Listerine at the Bowden Food Bank challenged Wesley staff also. How could they be offering services to alcoholics trying to get off the stuff while selling alcohol inside the building. Listerine-flavoured alcohol. He said they had boxes and boxes of it. Old Listerine. “Gets better with age,” he said. 10 January 2020 From the anonymous contact page

Woman defecates in Port Adelaide rubbish binOn Friday the 13th of December, a woman stood on top of the rubbish bin across the road from the AngliPrison and in front of the Offenders’ Aid (O.A.R.S.) building on Dale Street, Port Adelaide. She wore a Dept. of Corrections tracking bracelet on an ankle.
She pulled up her top to expose her breasts then pulled down her pants. While standing up, and swearing at observers, she defecated into the rubbish bin. She used an empty potato chip bag from the rubbish bin to wipe herself. Drivers slowed down and cheered, according to one driver, who also slowed down and cheered. One observer told his social worker who said, “That’s the best thing I’ve heard all day.” The observer said the sad woman made him feel good, that he wasn’t in such bad mental shape after all. It isn’t known whether the woman was reacting to UnitingSA across Dale Street preventing clients from using the toilets or not. She might have been making a courageous political statement about the withdrawal of toilets from public spaces. Dale Street from Commercial Road to the yellow needle bins at the Women’s Centre is nearly all welfare joints. The library has become an AngliPrison outpost where patrons use the computers to complete re-education programs and report their locations. 9 January 2020 
(above) A porta-potty left on the ledge outside the UnitingSA Family Centre in Port Adelaide were staff won't allow clients to use the toilets. It is also across Dale Street from where an ankle-bracelet woman defecated in a rubbish bin in broad daylight.

In praise of Blind Welfare
A blind woman is switching from the Royal Society for the Blind (RSB) to Blind Welfare. She says RSB has activities just once a week and has closed down for two-months over the holiday period. In contrast, Blind Welfare has daily activities providing clients live within 10kms of their complex at Gilles Plains. The blind woman has decided to move into either Blind Welfare’s living units or a group of Anglicare units within 10kms of Blind Welfare. The blind woman says Blind Welfare has more flexibility in their services because they don’t get government funding. She said that Blind Welfare discovered that government money stopped them from doing things.. 8 January 2019 More on fire from the Night Talker
"Just forgot to add..... “In The last Federal Budget (2018/2019) SCoMo decided to cut the New South Wales Regional, Fire Services budget by 38% and the overall Federal Budget for country fire fighting in the Eastern States (Victoria, NSW, Queensland and the ACT) by a (wait for it) Two hundred, and ninety one million dollars!!! “He also ignored several letters emailed to him by the Regional Chief Fire Commanders of NSW, Victoria and Queensland, who all mentioned the same (and or similar) catastrophic fire scenario's. “It was also noted that residents in the fire ravaged Victorian Country town of Mallacoota, that there are only four fire trucks, for a 5,000 square km radius and all of these trucks are now more than 12 years old. “How good is that SCoMo??? “Pass this information on.......the more BAD PUBLICITY THIS MORON GETS, THE SOONER THE PEOPLE CAN VOTE HIM OUT! HE IS USELESS AND SHOULD NOT BE LEADING THIS COUNTRY!” The Night Talker 8 January 2020 The Night Talker on fire
“Don't cry for SCOMO or the stupid Victorian/NSW/Adelaide hills country club/scrub/cashed up, weekend hobby farm mob, who voted this USELESS C…..!!! “Unless you are living in some underground subterranean cave system or in an induced coma, we all know the country is burning. What is less clear, is just how effective our current Prime Minister (HOW GOOD IS THAT??? SCOMO (or as the unemployed like to call him, SRO(TUM)MO aka SCREW YOU, YOU UNEMPLOYED SCUM ON A NEWSTART ALLOWANCE, THAT HASN'T SEEN AN INCREASE IN NEARLY 27 YEARS! “If you want to cry, then cry for the those persons living in caravans, on pensions/Centrelink benefits, the single mums/aged or disability pensioners in rented accommodation, both domestic and wild-life that has died or been severely injured/firefighters and others who have died, whilst battling the fires and those persons who live in modest properties, who for whatever reasons (age, poverty, a lack of adequate insurance) are never going to be able to rebuild (well not in their life-time) “Don't shed your tears for those cashed up morons living in the Adelaide hills or elsewhere, where the average property price is anywhere from $675,000 up to well over a million dollars. The fire hasn't wiped out their bank accounts and more often than not, the properties that have been destroyed are one of several, or simply a weekender, and not a permanent residence. “These people are independently wealthy and come from generations of old "money." (They are not people living in rental accommodation in Smithfield or Davoren Park. Yes fires are bad and yes they can destroy property, but the wealthy will always bounce back. “Furthermore, I can guarantee you each one of these property owners, will have already "speed" dialed" their respective insurance companies, quoting all the priceless antiques that have gone up in flames. Exactly the same happened the last time a major bush fire went through the Adelaide Hills back in 1986 (Black Sunday) it was later found out that numerous insurance claims were later found to be fraudulent. “This particular part of Adelaide (which is also one of the wealthiest) is home to such well known persons as the Downers, Radio Hosts Leon Byner and Jeremy Cordeaux, current Premier Steven Marshall, former Chat show host and model Jan Beasley, several ex footballers, and the current commissioner of Police. They are also all rapidly NEO-Liberal and love SCOMO (and the current Marshall led Liberal Government) with a passion, that verges on the disturbed! “A comedian on the ABC talk back show the "PANEL" made a very profound statement, when SCOMO won the last election.

How prophetic are those words now, that were are burning up....... “HOW GOOD IS THAT SCOMO! (YOU C*****!) THE SOONER WE REMOVE YOU FROM OFFICE, THE BETTER! “P.S. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A MYTH! (NOT!) The Night Talker. **** added by Adelaide Homeless Journal 7 January 2020 No more free food from Relationships Australia ElizabethSadly, Relationships Australia at Elizabeth has stopped their free food service due to lack of staff to operate it.
This service appears to have been replaced by HYPA (Service-to-Youth Council) at Elizabeth East, which is every week rather than fortnightly as previously at Relationships Australia. HYPA/SYC at Elizabeth East 29 Enterprise Road, Elizabeth East. Phone (08) 8255 9028. Free Oz Harvest fruit, vegetables and bread. No I.D. or registration required. Open to everyone. Truck arrives about 1pm every Tuesday and most is taken that afternoon. 6 January 2020 Not the law of the streets
A druggie couple from Parafield Gardens got home detention sentences for torturing another druggie they allowed to stay in their house. There was a debt problem between them. They allowed the man to sleep in their daughter’s room while she, apparently, slept in another part of the house. The mother later searched the bags of their guest and discovered sex toys, pornography and some of her daughter’s underwear. She and her male partner tied their guest to a dog house and over two days burnt and stabbed him. Visitors to their house hit the man with a sledgehammer and cut his toes with a chain saw. It took nearly two years for the case to be concluded and the mother and father got 15-months and 16-months respectively home detention as punishment. Their guest and victim was a registered sex offender being supervised by Anglicare. The offenders did the right thing from their point of view despite the sex man not having done anything to their daughter. They’d been on crystal methamphetamine during the period of the assaults. But it shows they had little faith in the judicial system. The victim could also say he had little faith in the judicial system. The law on the street is much harsher because the underclass have to live with deviants while the judges who sentence them generally live in the richer parts of Adelaide from which some of the deviants are expelled. 6 January 2019 St Bede’s at Semaphore extends closure timeSt Bede’s Anglicare free breakfasts were due to restart on the 7th of January, but this has been delayed until Tuesday, the 14th of January at 8:30am.

“5AA Radio homeless interview by "Pillco" given Mishell Len Sink (SA GOV) Friday 9:10 a.m. Imagine names like that: PILLCO and Len SINK Anyway, PILLCO got Mishell to reveal these things : 1. ONE to TWO HUNDRED "sleep rough" in CBD on regular basis. (ONE seems like a rather low number but this is what Mishell said.) 2. On a day of high heat the following places were mentioned as relief centres: Hut Street Centre (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) SYC (managed by massively corrupt fraudster in past) Baptist Care Street to Home 3. Hints of where to go among homeless is spread by "word of mouth" 4. Assertive contacts were made by "Street Connect" to determine who is who what is what etc. 5. Sleeping rough was described as sleeping in the open rather than confined places Ho Hum... Name supplied 5 January 2020

On the street
“One out of four police are crooked in S.A., but that’s better than elsewhere where it’s 1 in 2.” Non-druggie man at the horrible Anglicare pre-Christmas lunch at Elizabeth. * Old Graham’s son said walkers tripped over what they thought was a log in Veale Gardens before Christmas. They discovered it was a body covered in ants. Old Graham’s son said it had been covered in a sweet substance to attract the ants. This was across the road from where Emma Hines’s body was found three years ago. The ants had gotten to her overnight. Old Graham’s son said a man had been arrested naked while doing dirty things in Veale Gardens. Old Graham’s son said the government is bulldozing the vegetation at Veale Gardens. * “I hate Christmas. I’m broke, buying presents, just three, for my daughter.” A druggie man outside the Anglicare Food Barn at Elizabeth. * The Peterswool Road Seventh-day Adventist gave away Haloumi Chips, Bocconcini and Farmhouse half-cream milk on a recent Thursday. It was all edible. * Salisbury’s leading shoplifter has returned from a stint at the St Vincent de Paul Night Shelter at Whitmore Square. * The hot water heater failed again at the One Voice blue shower truck parked outside the Salvation Army in Pirie Street, Adelaide, on a recent Wednesday. The recipient of the cold shower said they deliberately turned off the hot water to “get rid of me”. This is not unheard of in welfare. It used to happen at Baptist WestCare. * “I was thinking of removing a few roof tiles to let the heat escape,” said a man without airconditioning in his house, outside the Food Barn on a 44⁰C day. * Seventh-day Adventist Wayne said at the Victory Church BBQ that ambulances should be driven slower because they cause too many accidents. And what was the rush as they end up ramped outside hospitals. Steve the Preacher told Wayne that they saved lives on the scene and cited restarting a 17-year-old football player’s heart on the field without the boy suffering brain damage. Steve also showed Wayne a photo of a baby allergic to food that began eating after being prayed for. * The homeless man with the one-year life expectancy ― if he keeps drinking ― went for a holiday to the Adelaide CBD, living on the streets. * Max from New South Wales said the Salisbury Aborigines allowed him on their land because his dreaming trail passed through the area. * German Marten said that when the Nazi youth slave labour camps were disbanded after World War 2, the sites were re-occupied by Lutheran Church Boys’ Homes. Marten added that to get cheap inmate labour, the authorities used minor pretexts to put boys in these reformatory institutions. He said they were similar to the Nazi boys’ camps. Marten escaped and lived in a bombed-out house. In his mind, he still lives in a bombed-out house. * A soup kitchen man whose son is a military officer said that Australians aren’t allowed into parts of Darwin, including the harbour, owned by the Chinese. * A woman at Kilburn Fred’s Van complained of too many free Christmas parties. Wait until the drought over January, another guest added. * A Housing Trust tenant in the suburbs heard someone yelling outside her unattached unit. It was an N.D.I.S. employee shouting a neighbour’s personal details into her phone. The tenant could hear what was being said even while inside her own unit. * Guests looked the other way when a client stood before them at a farewell gathering and thanked everyone for helping him. He said he’d gone there to help the clients, but it had backfired and he ended up being helped by the clients. He also said he’d been a volunteer at a school, but had gotten the sack for cuddling the children. That’s when a strange quiet came over the room. The old man had referred to little children running to him for safety like children used to run to adults. But in this Woke culture, everything has changed and all men are considered bad, especially white men, and it is prohibited for “males” to comfort little kids in distress. Some men leave any area where children are present for fear of being blamed for something. And the children’s minds have been poisoned in the same way. The quest to protect children from child molesters has created another aberration. * A reputable druggie at Elizabeth left a plate of food on the table at his house then returned a few minutes later to find four rats eating it. He said he’d also awaken during the night to discovered mice running over him. Another resident had a Python, but it escaped into the attic where it currently eats the mice and rats and will come down when it gets larger. * A Salvation Army soldier says that less than ten people attend the Sunday service at the Playford Corps at Elizabeth East. And this is despite providing a free bus to carry old people to and from the church. Meanwhile, Victory Church at Parafield have multiple services on Sunday, one of which gets up to 560 attendees. * An N.D.I.S. employee has arranged for a client to move into her granny flat, mostly filled with storage items. The extremely frail and physically ill and young female client will get free rent in return for maintaining the house and animals. * Gawler Salvation Army has a new building, but gets few clients. Playford Salvation Army in Elizabeth East is busy throughout the day Monday to Friday yet operates from a much lesser building with its two officers suffering chronic exhaustion. 4 January 2020 
(above) More empty sites where the Adelaide Zero Project partners have expelled homeless campers and stolen their bedding and clothing. The campers then end up sleeping on CBD footpaths and in doorways and get urinated upon by others at night. And while this happens, the "partners" on salaries are taking six-week summer holidays. And the Hutt Street Centre, Adelaide Day Centre and Baptist WestCare won't breathe a word of criticism of this practice.
Pam’s friends
Dean the Dresser has shaped up to be an insufficient Carer for Pam with her busted leg and recovery from cancer. Pouring cordial over her head, throwing her tablets over the floor and breaking her bowl of fruit tingles are not the signs of a professional Carer. Meanwhile, the man who urinates at bus stops has begun buying four forty-smoke packets of cigarettes and smoking them in two days. Incredibly, Pam’s friends have long life expectancies and plenty of children. They are survivors. 3 January 2019

Elizabeth East Salvation Army food queueThe Army gives free food at their Playford Corps building on Kinkaid Road, Elizabeth East.
The doors are opened at 9:30am on Fridays when groups of four clients are given entry to the food room at two or three-minute intervals. Those at the front of the queue get the best bread, vegetables and grocery items. To be the first allowed entry, one must arrive outside the front door by 6:10am. By 8:00am, there are 19 in the queue and by 8:30am, there are 34. The queue may reach 70 by opening time at 9:30am with those at the end standing in the rain or sun. This isn’t a necessarily negative scenario as the queue becomes a social environment for those arriving early and who might otherwise sit alone at home nearly 24-hours a day. It also rewards those most desperate. But it does create a problem for frail and elderly people such as Pat Tickman, 86. Peterswool Road Seventh-day Adventist church on the other side of Fremont Park has a different system. Each person is given a random number from 1 to 10. There are six tickets for each number. When a number is picked from the hat, the group of six clients with that number go into the food room. It’s a lottery. Salvation Army Elizabeth East 39 Kinkaid Road, Elizabeth East. Fridays 11:00am to 12:30pm. Free. Decent toilets. Barbecued sausages, onions, vegetables, sauce, homemade soup, bottled water and coffee. No I.D. or registration required. Free vegetables and bread from 9:30am to 10:00am. Quite good. Sometimes coffee. Free fruit and vegetables available intermittently in Op Shop. No I.D. needed. Better bags of groceries and gift cards require interview via appointment with current I.D. not necessarily a Centrelink Card. No appointment needed on Fridays. 2 January 2020

On the Street
Let’s hope that Heart and Soul is able to turn up on their scheduled Wednesdays at 7:00pm at the Masonic Hall on Phillip Highway, Elizabeth South. It isn’t enough to advise the previous week’s clients or those on the private facebook page that they won't be turning up due to the Mason's renting the hall. * “Strange, very strange,” an upright young man in shorts and carrying a little girl said while walking past an Elizabeth Food Barn customer wearing a flannelette shirt and baggy 1950’s trousers on a 44C degree day. * Food Bank hides its salvaged produce behind roller doors at the Pooraka Markets to perhaps prevent fruit insects from migrating to the fresh produce sold by the growers and wholesalers. * These are sad days after the media coverage of Christmas cheer put on by the charities when the actuality is that most joints shut down for varying periods over the holiday period. * Two elderly women volunteers scowled when a client left the Elizabeth Food Barn Waye Café having only half-finished his breakfast of beans on toast. * UnitingSA at Port Adelaide were giving away coffee and cheese at their Family Centre near the AngliPrison. One man said he got a garbage bag of “really nice stuff”, which might have come from the leftovers from the disability pre-Christmas party at Regency Park the previous day. * An elderly man said he came to the Food Barn at Christmas because he felt “down”. He added that his vagabond brother’s body lay for two months in the morgue while the government searched for someone to pay for the burial. The dead guy ended up in the Alice Springs cemetery, not a bad place. * The neighbour who allegedly poured petrol on Ken Little’s lawn at Elizabeth Grove phoned the police saying the Kill Box Lady was fighting with her daughter and others. The police arrived and the Kill Box Lady, 90, showed the police her quiet and empty unit. There was no fighting. * The next delivery of Oz Harvest rotting vegetables to the Service-to-Youth work-for-the-dole joint at 27 Enterprise Road, Elizabeth East will be on Tuesday, 7 January 2020 at about 1:00pm. * “I know a few dealers in Salisbury, one near the school.” Druggie woman at a free food venue. 1 January 2020

The Rundle Spy reports
“Woolworths Rundle Mall still has full box crates of "donated food" near main checkout area several days after holiday. Why are these not being given to the Poors Peoples... Littles Peoples. Could there be Bigs Peoples... Pigs Peoples !” The Rundle Spy 31 December 2019 The hardest month for living outside
January is the hardest month for those living outside, at least for those who use services provided for the “homeless”. At Salisbury, Fred’s Van is back in operation on the 5th of January so it was closed for just one week. However, the Salisbury Uniting Church (near the Ice dealer’s house) weekly meal is closed until early February 2020 as is the Victory Church BBQ. Similarly, the free dinners on Saturdays at the Magdalene Church hall in Moore Street, Adelaide and City Salvos have ceased until February. The Pilgrim Church free café is closed until 20 January 2020. Mary’s Kitchen at Glenelg is finished until early February 2020. Aldinga Fred’s Van is closed until the 31st of January 2020. These are a few examples of many across Adelaide where services to the poorest are withdrawn as if they are luxuries not be missed. This is not to blame those who provide their labour and food for free, but simply to state a reality. And there isn’t any Code Red or Code Blue type of alert for this. It’s what the government doesn’t want the general population to know. 31 December 2020 From the Anonymous Contact page
