@QandA#qanda Please discuss the effects of #COVID19au on #Indigenous communities where many will be vulnerable, also on the MILLIONS living without housing or food security. “Self-isolating” in a car? A doorway? On a borrowed couch?? These are our most vulnerable. @FatherBob
Great initiative from @Coles to support some of the vulnerable members of the community. However can coles confirm if the homeless and those at risk of will be included in “Community Hour”? #COVIDー19
Perhaps something you could answer @DanielAndrewsMP or @MartinFoleyMP? Where do the homeless of Victoria go for assistance to combat this pandemic and/or to self-isolate? #COVIDー19#springst
