This is nuts. Decades of neglect, and staff have finally said enough. More power to them, the mental health system is broken.

This couple lost their son AND were given a 'move on' order by the council, who took their tent set up in Orleigh Park, on the same day. I cannot even fathom. Especially with the recent wet weather. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

see the stars for the first time.
