There seem to be some people who can never be pleased like Lynette Watson who could only whinge after being offered help as a victim of homelessness during Victorias fires which as she puts it makes her the worst case of charity rorter.

There are others who seem to think they should be treated as royalty after being affected by the bushfires but really should be thankful for any assistance they receive.

The assistance needed by all of the victims is funeral assistance, short term income support while businesses are being rebuilt and temporary accommodation while houses are being rebuilt.

I feel that accommodation should be temporary and where people have been given resources from other people in need those resources should be passed back to the areas they are needed quickly as possible. Caravans for poor people to live in have been diverted to some fire victims as well as other items and a lot of cash have been taken from stretched systems where people in need now have to wait.

I am sure that most people from fire affected areas just want to get on with rebuilding their lives. We see many places where the population are doing their best trying to put their lives together and would agree that the people who are trying to profit from the fires are disgusting.

The government must help these people but must do it without diverting funds from programs for the most disadvantaged people in society, maybe by diverting funds from people who are working that will be given almost a thousand dollars each in the economic stimulus package.
