We have a Melton Mowbury in U.K - famous for it's pork-pies!
@@susanhargreaves326 nice.
Stick to the interviews. Good content usually.
@@Bv8494 thanks bro!
Every Day? They lasted one day and then they pretty much all capitulated and joined the queue with their sleeves rolled up.
@krakajak67 I was disappointed that it only lasted one day after chanting "every day!". You are just assuming they rolled their sleeves up. Either way, we made a statement, and that is all.
St Kilda seemed to work out better than battling in the city. Maybe its where we should celebrate there every year.
@allanblackbourn990 I agree mate. 🇦🇺
this video made me feel good
@@nuer5959 awesome!
Excellent. Why is running it?
@outofbounds2022 A non for profit, charity organisation named, Pentecost Care.
@TheShortStrawMelbourne cool and I'm glad u assumed I ment 'who' and not 'why' lol , I might run into you one day I'm often sleeping somewhere in Melbourne (I'm not homeless, it's a choice, I don't infringe on others that don't have a choice)
@outofbounds2022 hope to see you soon brother.
Contact me if you can help jelliott88@hotmail.com
What’s with the gold teeth 😂
@Comatosedpeanut 😆 I ruined my teeth in a bmx fall when I was younger. So instead of getting porcelain I got gold.
I’m proud to be a Sri Lankan ❤❤😂🎉🎉❤😢😮😅😊
@Lionman-SriLanka that's awesome brother 👊
Keep it up brah keep posting it the same problem Australia wide. West aus is doing it's best but those other states are an utter joke... isolating power for people turning off water supplies ect ect. The more this increase so will crime... there's a fine line when people start getting hungry.. I lucklly ive in my van. But for how long is a question I ask myself daily...
@Dogmutrat we just have to talk more , and spread awareness of the issues we face. Thanks for your comment. I hope you will be in a comfortable, stable place and mindset in the future ahead.
Don't get me wrong, but aren't these people receiving Centrelink payments to stay off the streets and maintain a reasonable life?
@disl4007 I think if they don't have a postal address they can't receive payments. I may be wrong.
happy aussie day! love from the UK :)
@RaptorJesus. Happy Australia Day Mate 🇦🇺
you sold me fake ice behind the iga
@MatveyD7 okay mate
The illegal imprisonment of whistleblowers on government and military crimes- like Julian Assange. David McBride, and the ATO whistleblower who is facing 50 years for calling out taxation theft by the ATO against citizens. The dumbing down of our populace with mainstream media manufacturing our blind consent for war and racism… the Robodebt scandal in which the government set up knowingly an algorithm in their software to steal money from People’s bank accounts leading to a number of suicides and getting away with it scottfree. All Covid health officials being given pardons by the attorney general. This country is NOTHING TO CELEBRATE. Most corrupt nation on earth. Full of sheep
Yes I agree that the people in power are corrupt. I don't celebrate Australia Day for them. I celebrate it for us and our freedom! We won't let them take it away from us!
The freedoms we enjoy on the west have come And always will come at the expense of someone else’s Define freedom
Jeremiah 29:11, love it!
@@susanhargreaves326 That verse is hanging in my toilet 🙏
How dare the Israel flag be flying. Disgusting! 🤢 😡
I don't think it was there for long.
not a day to celebrate
Does that kid even have his license for you to be helping me drive?? You should have at least taken him to an empty car park somewhere nearby
😂
We’ve all gotta start somewhere though
Who Damo?

That pso was a tosser.
Great content mate. Your a great interviewer.
@@outofbounds2022 thank you bro
Honestly, if I had a business of my own, like a factory or warehouse and I needed workers, I would go around to the homeless and ask them first, if they seem like decent people, could communicate properly and seemed to have kicked their bad habits I would hire them on the spot, i'd even let them sleep in the warehouse. It is so sad because so many of them are top quality people but just had a rough patch in life, I can guarantee you they can work just as hard and as well as anyone in jobs that require labor. Nice video man, always good to raise awareness to this type of stuff, I have been there myself. I constantly risk going back, even right now I have under 2k in my bank account and i'm only now looking for work. I think the reason I am like I am is because of growing up with a terrible father, it has led to abusing weed and alcohol daily. Im 30 now and since 18 I've had to do everything on my own and you just give up at times.
@Tre_Vor194 that's awesome bro. Wishing all the best for you in the future. Thanks for your comment! 👊
better let a million more indians in that will help
Practically f'ing the country. Saw 1st hand when attending Open houses for sale/auctions, half the reason we are experiencing a housing crisis as there are like 3-4 families chipping in to buy property to only rent out
Definitely my fault 😂too
Wheres your church located bro? I'm currently homeless and I'm in desperate need of help
@BigBen776 132 Franklin St Melbourne. Everyone Wednesday 5pm for free Meals and clothes etc
Amazing work brother. How can we help you ?. Can we donate to your church or something ?.
@rameshperera5678 Thank you. Yes, definitely, that would be very much appreciated. We are in desperate need of volunteers and donations. Here are some links. www.pentecostcare.au/ pentecostchurch.com.au/ facebook.com/share/18JqjnoKMU/
Lmao bro, that rap
@TJ_OFFICIAL_MELB I know right 😆 what a character
Lots of negative comments here guys - lets hope YOU are never in this position!!! Be kind ffs and stop the judgment, We're all one emergency/crisis away from potentially finding ourselves homeless or needing help!
@@MorganTarot thanks mate 👍
Australians have a natural gift for rapping and break-dancing. They should maybe try and introduce it at the Olympics.
1:11 unhoused women are very vulnerable and filming them without permission is probably not the best idea. You're hearts in the right place, but it's just something to think about for next time.
@@yellowtree55-gr2ws we have the freedom to do things without permission. Thank you for your input
He isn't worried about what could happen to them 😂 just getting content
If they use their pink purse they can all be housed.
@@TheShortStrawMelbournewhat a looser response
@@TheShortStrawMelbourne 💯
Mate they would have hostels to stay at but they can’t follow curfews and can’t stay sober for more than 30 minutes, they have to follow rules , unfortunately most will stay homeless or they end up getting locked up and then when released they start the viscous circle again. Sad but true.
@AG-gd8hn yeah that's true.
You should be helping them If you are using them for views Thats what most people do when talking to homeless Left your wallet in the car! Bulshit You should be ashamed of yourself Bu
@loztekcamp8110 I do help them bro. And yes I did leave my wallet in the car. I always have 5s and 10s for this exact reason. Thanks for your input.
@TheShortStrawMelbourne well maybe upload more videos of you actually helping them. I appreciate you show the crisis we are in though. 🙏
@loztekcamp8110 Thanks for the advice bro. I see it like this, I'm giving them a voice to speak, which is worth more than money. I may do a video, giving money to the homeless soon, but I'm broke atm.
@loztekcamp8110 I also help them in other ways, if you have seen my other video's
Padded cell for the rapper
Why?
Homeless but can afford a bundy and coke. Glad he has got his priorities in order.
Sounds like a politician...
Who sounds like a politician?
that idiot rapper. @@TheShortStrawMelbourne
Scatterbrain
Who is a scatterbrain?
@@TheShortStrawMelbourne 1st guy
they used to be someone’s baby. hope everything works out for them
I hope so too.
guy who said he was getting housing after ten years is a total bs artist
Are you just assuming?
I dont think punjabi prince dont like you
@@Motorizedmadness what makes you say that?
@@TheShortStrawMelbourne at the start of your convo he says it but after watching the whole video he then clarifys he actually does like you so hes just a funny bugger.enjoy all good things
@Motorizedmadness 😂 he actually says "I don't like to look fresh" my wife also thought he said he doesn't like me.
Yea ay i was like you got balls bra standing close to him after he said what i thought lol.
I met 2D a few years ago, what a character.
Really! That's awesome
Meth master flex
Can we deport him
Cooked beyond repair
He is so drunk
@darealone4480 I don't think he is to be honest. He never smells like booze and I've never seen him with a drink. I think he's on some heavy medication.
Have you ever lived on the street? Alcohol's one of the only things that makes being on the street bearable
Stop judging people
Yeah right you came back with your wallet year right it’s break ya heart bahahahahah your a flog mate ya TH-cam channels homeless. 🤣
@stormimmortal1874 😆 thanks buddy.
The 2D rapper was something else.
@mariocondello2353 wasn't he 😆
