Charitably Mad

The billboard screamed;

“3000 Australians an hour face homelessness” [Mission Australia]

3,000x24x365 = 26.2m

That’s 26m Australians a year, which just happens to be our entire population at the minute.

That means, at least once a year each of us faces homelessness for an hour, on average.

I’m on the lookout. I don’t want to miss it this time.

Or could it be the same 3,000 people calling Mission Australia once an hour, every hour, hoping for a different result?
