Housing
I’m so sick of being singled out!! Sure I’m a single parent, but a damn hard working one!!! But ‘single mums’ seems to have this stigma attached to them, and yes I’ve no doubt that there are a heap of them out there who deserve that ‘stigma’ – I’M NOT ONE OF ‘THEM’!
So now I find myself in a situation of not being able to secure a decent rental for my son and I – and when I say decent I mean probably a lot better than people think I can afford, but I’ve a good job and an equally as good income, and I do know what my means are! It seems as soon as people see on the application – 1 Adult and 1 Child, it gets put to the bottom of the pile, and therefore other applications are given priority!! I then out of curiosity drive passed the property at a later date and find that there is a family of any other race than Australian that got approved – OH YEAH they get Government Support!!
Why doesn’t the Australian Government give their own people as much help as they give those that come here from another country? I’ve paid my taxes for the last 25 years, what do I have to do to get a little bit of gratitude and assistance? Why am I paying for these people to take things away from me? Oh this paragraph could and should be in a whole other blog!
Now I’m getting really frustrated, what does a successful single parent have to do to get a rental property these days?? I’ve been looking since the start of February 2011, let’s see just how long it takes for me to secure one and give my mother some peace and quiet!!
