My views are from the understanding that these are mostly women who have historically performed the lion's share of unpaid labor (raising children etc.), worked historically in lower-paid feminised industries and are actively discriminated against by current employers due to their age. That's lower lifetime earnings and super. They are being forced into volunteer work in exchange for payments that are about 40% below the poverty line.

This may be an extreme subset and I am certain there a women that love the community involvement and purpose.

My critique of mutual obligations goes further but this particular case stands out.

Because if you're in a state where you're relying on centreline you're often not ABLE to fulfil work obligations.

DSP etc are not benefits that allow for much "work" capacity

I'll fire off half a dozen sneezes, then my nose will start leaking, then it all passes.

I remember an anecdote Adam Spencer said on the radio that instead of taking his clothes to the dry cleaners he would 'donate' it to the op shop, let them clean it and put it on the rack for 50c, then go buy it again later. It was cheaper but there was that risk someone would buy your clothes before you.

Now everything is priced at fashion prices and it's much less viable.

You could do an instagram/tiktok showing new things that have come in but that doesn't actually make you money. Unless you combine that with a CTA at the end saying, "love anything you saw in this video? Buy it on our Depop, but get in now because once it's gone, it's gone"

Any sneeze victims can purchase replacement trousers at the shop. Could be good for business.
