I see Paula Penfold's work and I think I should start supporting Stuff, and then they go and ruin it.
This is a shameful story on so many levels. Paddy Gower has absolute clueless audacity to lightheartedly report the state’s and society’s failure to address the needs of this man at multiple levels. You’re right, there is no other word but bleak. We are in bleak times.
The whole story is bleak and I wish Gower wouldn’t go near these stories because he has no idea. We get the end result untethered from government actions/policies on housing, mental health, welfare.
Yeah, I’m really not a fan of Paddy’s clueless stumbling white boy journalism.
We just don’t need more misinformation and reality distortion.
🤢
Nor am I, his reporting is as bleak as the story.

The guy seems happy 🤷
Bleak headline, bleak story, bleak government. I’m bleaked out!
