I am sure this photo is of Gran Myra Walmsley - 

I think I have misunderstood my dad when we were uploading across the Ocean Technology lines .

This to me is my mums - mum  Myra  Walmsley- Lewis 

mother of  Recently passed away Auntie Rose , mums sister .

Bottom of photo - mum Lilian Robina Lawrence née Walmsley when at  Dovedale Road Mossley Hill  - 
Top - Nan Myra - her mum - 

I must find out if this is  Myra our nan - 
I could be wrong - as it is a snap from a photo with other relatives, dad said they were sisters ? 

I am doubting that ,,,,,, 

I know one person to ask , 

hopefully clear up my memory that this is nan Myra - I would stay over with her  & I got scared as the trains would screech past,
 so i would go into nan & jump in her single bed  with her ~ Nan lived down the road from mum , her daughter Lilian .

Sadly nan Myra passed away in 1968 - I was with her , she came out of the old outdoor - DunnY , ok toilet in the yard - and she banged her head on the brick door frame - as even tho nan was about 5’4 or less the door o f the brick shed aka DunnY - was very low : 
nan : Myra 
went inside to mum n dad and collapsed- on the living room floor - 
I recall her on the floor - waiting for an Ambulance, n mum n dad - in shock .
, Next I recall is her funeral- I was sent to school , and was so upset I walked back home -those little legs :( 
mum answered the door - her hair done in a high beehive and blue framed cat eye Glasses on -
I said
where’s my mum ? 
she said I am your mum , you need to go back to school .
She took me in Saying - Denise asked : where’s my mum ? .

last I recall - being I wasn’t quite 8 years old - my memory is ok .

Beautiful nan n poor mum - Mum was only 27 herself & with 6 kids  from aged  9 years old to two years , with Barry at the time not two years of age : 


I will find out asap.  My memory says this is nan Myra. 
Resting  peacefully Mum Auntie Rose nan Myra . Together again .

A little

by Denise Lawrence on behalf of Gemma
on behalf of Gemma
A little rhyme ~ that was written by Gem * David Lawrence’s daughter  
for her grandad Ernie - which she read out at his funeral on January  2019 : 
 When Gemma was reading her rhyme for her grandad  at the church service
a little Italian priest sitting below gem who is over 6 ft tall ! 
looked up horrified as she got to a certain line 
Then 
a huge sigh of relief was on his face - when he heard 
“you can fill in the blank ! haaaa 

pretty much had her grandad Ernie Sussed out

one funny story 

Gemma n Her Grandad Ernie : 

Grandad to Gemma :  hey gem those guys are eyeing you up over there : 

Gemma to her grandad : : No grandad there eyeing you up : 

both  Gem n Her grandad Ernie ~ turn into a bundle of laughter - with everyone looking at them : 

( haaaa what a line ) 

Being  Gemma only met her grandad in her later years ~ they grew fond of each other and had many good laughs together :

Family Tree a Happy Story of a Happy Family

May 7, 2021
A sensitive topic , some may say. I would say a matter of life complexity.
And a Family mixture that turned out happy ending. 
Rip Grandad & Auntie Eileen .

My grandad - Ernest Edward Lawrence snr . dads / dad.
His 2nd wife Eileen Reed * maiden name .
Her daughter Eileen Reed 

Myra Lewis *  married name Walmsley  my grandma - mums / mum 
actually Myra didn’t marry she simply took on the name of her husband * my grandadJohn Walmsley .John was a policeman  in Mather Avenue Mossly  Hill. 
Myra’s  Family were quite well off in Wales - however Myra herself was brought up in an orphanage: 

Myra’S   Eldest son John Tudor Lewis, mums brother  whom  she had befor meeting John Walmsley.

# Keep track now

well.
My grandad Ernest Edward Lawrence snr:   (my  dads / dad ) & Eileen Reed his 2nd wife brought up 2 girls as their daughters .
 Their  names are 
Anne Lawrence & Donna Lawrence aged about 50years  52  years now ? 
Anne  & Donna are actually the daughters of
Eileen Reed jnr  & John Tudor Lewis .
yes that’s correct , my mother’s half brother John Tudor Lewis * known as Lou had the 2 girls to my grandads 2 nd wife’s daughter .* also named Eileen 

I recall baby sitting Anne & Donna for their mother,
when they were young- toddlers and living with their birth mother Eileen jnr .

My grandad Ernest Edward Lawrence snr  & Eileen Snr brought up these two girls as their own  children ,
Being mum and dad from a very young age .
I am aware of some of the possible reasons as to why they took on this role .

Eileen Therefor is Technically Donna & Anne’s Grandmother , and my grandad  Ernest Edward Lawrence Snr: is Technically no blood relation on the Lawrence Side of the family.
Therefor nothing was missed by Donna & Anne not getting to ask my dad * also Ernest Edward  Lawrence jnr - about their history because my dad and grandad are not in fact Donna & Anne’s blood relatives .



Donna & Anne are Technically My mother’s Family , being Lou is my moms * Lilian Robina Walmsley,s 
half brother and my grandmas * Myra Walmsley * Lewis , 
Eldest son..
Therefor Donna & Anne are also Our Cousins.

My Grandad Ernest Edward Lawrence snr , was a really lovely man and I know from visiting on occasions how devoted Grandad & * Auntie Eileen as we called her , were to their children Donna & Anne , they had a lovely life with my grandad Ernest , known to * Donna and Anne as * Dad & their Grandmother Eileen , known to Donna & Anne as Mum*.

confusing much , especially with dual names that run in the families.

However I am shedding clarity on the Family Tree for future generations .

Lastly if Donna and Anne Lawrence were  to do some family history on John Tudor Lewis , they may find they actually have * at least Half siblings , 
1 older sister , 1 younger brother ,and a  sister possibly the same age. 
From various , and I say that kindly wives or Partners Of John Tudor Lewis .

Lastly , Myra Walmsley * Lewis my moms mother , our grandmother was Of Welsh Decent from HolY Head Wales .
Myra was an only child and was placed in an Orphanage. 

I worked with a * Lewis  At the local post office  for a short period - untill he left
Mt Lewis ,
who was a co- owner of the local post office ,who was a relative  of my mom’s family .
Back then the late 70s I wasn’t terribly interested in family history, nor did parents born in the late 30s and early 40 s talk much about their family history ,
Alas they didn’t have the foresight to see the evolution of Technology

More will come to light .

Just to add further the kindness of Grandad & Auntie Eileen , grandads daughter Valerie  was born with a hole in her heart , Valerie upon loosing her mum * my dads mum Lily Lawrence née Kelly ,
at an early age , Valerie became rebellious and went off to live a lifestyle in a London separating her from close family contact .

I recall Valerie turning up at our house in HW , when she was about 27 years old , I opened the door to be greeted with a little women with long her and large hoop earrings , wearing a long maxi dress : 
she asked for Ernie * my dad her brother ,
I said wait a minute : Went in to my dad and said , a Gypsy is at the front door asking for you
As that is how she appeared to me , I mean like a gypsy reader

Dad went out and , their you have it , it was actually his sister .

Sadly some years later maybe 3/4/5 ? Dad gets a phone call to say Valerie was in a London Hospital .
Dad and I drove down there . we walked thru the hospital ward looking for Valerie and dad couldn’t see her ,
Then I heard a slow drawling of Eeeernie , it was Valerie. , in a wheel chair looking 80 years of age due to her stroke.

consequently Due to this Her dad , * my grandad &  Auntie Eileen, Donna & Anne’s Dad n Mum: Took Auntie Valerie into their home to live with them , I recall they had a lift fitted to help Auntie Valerie To access upstairs bedroom.

How kind families were  then sticking together thru the good and the tuff times .
Sadly Auntie Valerie passed away some years later RIP Auntie Valerie your Dad was a lovely man , and his 2nd wife Eileen.
So was grandads 1 st Wife  my dads mum , who is also named * Lily Lawrence  née Kelly * there’s that duplicate family name again.

July 9, 2020
Daughter of Myra WalmsleY & John , Wife 30 years & 
Mum ,Grandma ,great grandma ,great great grandma , 
Today should be your 80th Birthday , 

I wish mums  life had been easier , happier , more fulfilling tho in part being born after war n extreme poverty times is a hard call for an enviable full filled life , 

mum lived thru her kids & work so I suppose in this manner mum was happy .

Would of been nice to personally of spent more years growing up with mum, being I left into the big wide world at 19 years old, didn’t leave a margin broad enough,
Thank goodness for IT tho , as in telephone I paid thousands calling mum  every day Over the years , So in that respect I was always in touch , 
just not the same tho , as being physically there to enjoy Christmas, Easter , all the times one would dress up n be happy to enjoy these seasons , always shared by mum n dad with love n kindness and joyfully .

Anyway , this is about mum , for mum in my memory of the love strength uncompromising kindness for everyone, I mean everyone who came by mums day.
heres to fond memories of mum who gave her all to us.missed beyond words always broken hearted , always wishing for one more year .  

Waking Up 3/7/2020 waffle .

July 3, 2020
Upon waking some hour ago to attend to this awesome little feline ,I am now resting again : 

Corona Virus Is going to be a wake up call for the future of the entire population , 
There will always be apprehension ,or at the least a second thought in ones daily activities when mingling in public places for years to come .

In following my previous post RE: Bolting people down figuratively speaking :) 
Currently thoProjecting thoughts to  next few years , I think now is a good time to bring in a type of National Service ? Can’t say I know what National Service means in 2020 , however 
definitely Australian Governments should be doing a large scale Splurge on Recruitment of Army Personnel, Air Force Personal and Fire Fighters given the catastrophic fire out brakes across all of Australia recently, as men were doing 16 hour shifts to cope on a daily basis , not sure tho it certainly appeared a lot more fully trained people in Emergency Fire Fighting may of been an advantage to have under ones sleeve during these catastrophic Australian Raging Fires .

so
yes , with Corona wreaking havoc on Employment,Businesses, and Job Opportunities, now is the best time to start a recruitment drive , not a choice of opting in or out ,
A compulsory Or rather mandatory Option for the un -employed to engage in Air Force cadets , Army Cadets or indeed a Cadetship in Rural and Domestic  Emergency Fire Fighting the latter being one of the most difficult I imagine , tho best to be a Cadet in good times , than thrown in as A novice Volunteer when desperately needed at the height of a Catastrophe.

Really no able bodied person with the mental capacity should sit on their ass in receipt of Government Handouts , ie Dole , Job Seekers payment , 

Cadet traineeship is a marvellous fulfilling and even captivating time as a 15/20 year old and beyond,  and is a great building tool for youth self esteem and a feeder into adulthood responsibilities, all whilst having fun , connecting , learning and engaging in  a constructive life.

i was in the Air Cadets at 15/6 years old  in  full uniform meeting to march on a Sunday thru the Local streets ( ha ha) yes it was always fun/ funny , tho 
It was to our leaders a proud and very meaningful March , to us too.

We mixed with the “ Real” Air Force Personnel which was captivating for a 15 year old , learning the basics of a Plane Anatomy, very interesting and being given our little WRAF wings of achievement  presented from the Air Force  , which we sewed to our a uniform was so exciting & Confidence building .
We also engaged with the Army , I recall   the Army Training Course climbing the rope wall,  tbh I was. not  that keen on the armY  :). too many things to recall atm , 

Flying & Gliding  
what awesome memories I have as a youngster , flying in a Cessna at 15 years old can’t beat that & gliding omg what an adventurous time , I still see myself in the Glider &  being winched up In the air by the Jeep , which was tied by a thick rope Jeep to Glider , and then ping up we went , 
haa haa totally rocked my youth ,
I still hear the silence a thousand feet up in the air and see myself sitting in the front seat with the pilot behind me ,
It was like I owned that Space up there in the sky , at that very moment , higher than the birds , lower than the cloudS floating around the sky.
Inspired me to take a chopper ride over Perth Western Australia CBD , boy oh boy , one scared flight , oowhoa doors open , lap seat belt , raging sound of chopper blades , tilt to the left n zoom up you go , Must say It wasn’t my favourite experience haaa.

how many youth of today 2020  get or take Up the opportunity to  experience thiS , not enough is my observation.

To learn as a Group In WRAF  Cadet environment was an awesome * hobbY even being promoted to Corporal, Lance Corporal & Sergeant. Within the Cadets was such an engaging sense of belonging and personal achievement confidence building for one so young .

So back to Western Australia & Corona Virus ,
Economy some youth  as has always been the case in UK in my lived history I am aware of  , simply will spend years on the dole living in denial of their moral responsibilities to pay taxes and not be so /reducing dependancy on Government $$ , 
This should be avoided and  2020 Government need to bring in  / promote a serious Cadet  Services Intake as I stated above .
After visiting UK in 2000 & briefly 2013 the visual change 
of  Economic Downturn was obvious, people looked forlorn , dismal , many places wih shops closed down , scruffy graffiti along major highways , and as for street violence anyone I think could attest to the fact this has been out of hand for years , Knife carnage, Gun carnage, drug carnage , enveloping the streets of many parts of our world 

Ones personal Poverty is a sure fire precursor to some people to engage in immoral behaviour and reduced standards of self respect , 
whilst I understand poverty , or being poor is not exactly something that encourages a happy smiling face everyday and certainly not a full fledged life , I don’t understand  community violence or non participation in a meaningful or simple way  in ones day. 
Some of These people who engage in activities /immoral daily life ,need support , encouragement engagement, and if that has to come from the implementation of Government than so be it .
Handing over  money to able bodied people  * dole , year after year after year with no additional /simultaneous confidence building for their future is of no benefit to anyone and is totally ludicrous, 

Ones personal Poverty is of course measured by “comparison to ones neighbours ” and  part of a humans nature is to envy ,
Economic distress for some & economical  success for others causes a great divide in society ,one which is becoming more prevalent in Australia in a fast downturn increased by Corona Virus , 
Some would say not , However of cause CV has had a Simultaneous Global Economic Distress/ Down turn for many ,you would be foolish to think otherwise .  
And agreed it possibly also hastened the retreat of many a business to close or sack employees, due to social economies already in the churning of day to day life down turn . 


Western Australian Economy can be re - built from the ground up , literally, the dire need of Government Social Housing is one aspect that would engage many many unemployed or re build business’s & open new opportunities for self employment, 
All Government Social Housing should be built with the optional intention of renter/purchaser in mind , as Property ownership is always a driving force for people to want to be Employed. 


A roster of Engagement in Government incentives , WRAf ect , for those on the dole should be utilised if the Demand outstrips Supply, 

I know the Economy is much more than the lay person , tho without the lay person being engaged what would there be ? 


 

Memories

June 19, 2020
Memories 1960 to 2020 

what a lovely 60 years of life & learning , so lucky to have a wonderful mum n dad who never left us , who always gave their best , 

why are some kids so selfish ?
I remember when mum asked me to make cups a tea for like the hundredth time in a week & I was angry  n mum was annoyed ( as much as she could be )  I’d retort with “ well I didn’t ask to be born “ 
when mum said , something , I can’t recall , tho I thought at the time it warranted that reply , how cruel teenagers can be . 

how I wished  , when we were in our teens  mum n dad told us more about their life , their trials , their struggles,  They didn’t, ,
All we seen and experienced was almost entirely the good Dad & Mum produced.

we collectively no doubt thought it all  that good , all that happinesS , JoY came easy .the lovely fitted carpets , the gorgeous furnishings , the business to be employed in , the cozy bed to come home to , the kitchen to make a warm cup tea on a cold morning, the advice , support and guidance at any given daY or hour . 

Untill  you “ grow up” n realise nothing comes easy , life is in itself a “Work of art “  , keep trying keep improving , knowing nothing is perfect , itS all in the eye of the beholder , 

Everyone  has their  battles to deal with  in life at some point in time .

A “life time “ is never enough time to thank your mum n dad for the sacrifices they make , the love they share and the unselfish sharing and caring they willingly pour into your life ,

Tho thank goodness “ I grew up “ and had time to personally show how appreciative I was and always will be for the life & wonderful memories mum n dad gave me 
Reflecting on what do Kids actually give their parents “ in return” ?
That in my lived  years is questionable Question.
For the many beautiful Christmas years & happy music in our home , for the laughs & varied entertainment thruout their years  this all takes love effort & unselfishly giving , last tho not least  for Dad n Mums  support and love and forgiveness for my own Vulnerability .
 
life the most understood phenomenon,, never mind the moon :) 

 

2020

June 19, 2020
Thinking of the past 60 years ~ * 55years 
lessons I’ve learned
ways to improve 
people I trust 
people I don’t trust 
ways to improve myself
ways to be kind 
ways to appreciate 
ways to eliminate 
ways to welcome 
ways ways ways 
That’s circle of life really ,
there’s always a way , just finding the right wayS and building on them 
Complexity whoever thought life could be so complex so multidimensional .
life is beautiful 
so much more to see , why we only skimp thru such a beautiful world  thinking we are living .
living life to the full after times of turmoil takes a whole new meaning .
The whole world came upon an almost simultaneous shut down

Corona
who’d of thought We would encounter such a Global Epidemic , and unprecedented  affecting world  economy, health, families , everything .

Thank goodness it wasn’t  a War ,

Corona
gives Us “The Entire World “
a glimpse of the importance of  Global Unity , support ,

The kindness
of many individuals Locally, Globally , United in continuous hard work  & support  of their nations ,
has Local and Globally  been a Visually unprecedented  joy to experience in life , Lessing and controlling the impact of  such a catastrophe .

The Daily Support
from  many  Leaders  , Prime Ministers , Presidents  , Premiers , front line workers , Business Large and small , and the general population Globally has been remarkable.

In Perth Western Australia
* where I currently reside and have done so over 40years ,
The phenomenal Efforts  of  The Western Australian State  to address  this endemic has been nothing short of  Amazing. 



Absolutely  phenomenal Effort  
by our Western Australians Leadership , United withOne Purpose to Stop the Spread of Corona in the Community,

The continuous work    24/7/365  Premier Mark McGowan ,Police Commissioner ChriS Dawson , Chief Medical Officer Brendan MurphY , Health Minister Roger Cook   ,Front life workers Hospital! GP, Police, Food Supplies and its retail staff , Cleaners  and families n people of the  general population  during 
The 
  State of Emergency  , 
the 1st time in Australian History ,
 We were  collectively ordered to Stay Home  , Only venturing out doors for  Basic Essentials. 
The fact everyone was so compliant is Indicative of the Humility of Humans. 

A lesson learned  ? to be understood  ? on the psychology of people , probably will never be answered? 
why ? an “Obsession “ with Stockpiling Toilet Roll , seriously,
The whole of Australia went nuts , even fighting in stores to  purchase a packet of Toilet Roll , 
sounds laughable,?
 tho it was in fact a serious occurrence almost , Contagious Mental Obsession 
Like a “ Mass Mentality “ see MonkeY , Do Monkey of  humans .
Lasting months, 
regardless of the fact people were requested by
The Prime Minister Scott Morrison to “ Stop it” Stop Stock Piling “ .

Ionly hope this observance/ lesson in life is not a pre- curser of Human Behaviour if ever the was a war , as we would surly need the
Army  toBolt Down those people with the mentality ,Obsessive behaviour Perpetuated by * possibly fear ,

That is , It was in my humble opinion driven by human fear and a stream lined focus n Control of the most mundane control a person could cling too at that point in time . # Covid Government Mandates. 

Inspired by a lot  of change in a “ normal routine “  # Covid 
The norm of daily life had been swept swiftly almost with little foresight , simultaneously from the hands of the larger population around  the globe .
Thousands abruptly out of Employment  , shopping in Stores banned , social activities , gatherings banned , even with family members from different households unable to visit each others homes 
 family support was a Virtual Reality 
ina word  ISO 
Isolation from ones fellow human beings , followed by The State  of Emergency. 

Government & Police Control of the entire population.during Covid was 
 like we in the 20 th Century , had never experienced befor I. the 20 th centuries .



Building a Global Unity of People,
Evolving Economy , Safety and an individuals ,
healthy Mental Capacity is imperative to World Peace ,
hopefully Corona Virus has given as much good a lesson in that very fact ,

As it has simultaneously given trauma to many people- businesses across the Globe  economically and personally with the  
Several Million Globally , loss of life Due to Corona 

Millions of people without the basic fundamentals of independence , 
earning a daily living  a direct consequence of business loss , abrupt  Employment loss, and thousands laid off .
which as a matter of fact economically will  take many years to fully recover , and it will eventually recover thru perseverance Organisation, the input  of Community Uniting , individuals and businesses and Governments Local and Globally.

For now June 2020 as Corona Continues to spread sporadically across the Globe
We Collectively continue onward with our life ,  somewhat cautiously .

Australia has done magnificent, Western Australia has worked extremely hard at Government Level and with the Continuous input of the General population towing the line ,
from the most invasive of Government mandates of not seeing family members , even the extreme sadness of those who were * dying of other causes and in ICU across the state unable to have physical contact- with funerals restrictions to 10 attendees or less . 
The State  of Emergency :  put in place by Government; basically impounding ? regulating via Emergency Mandates for people to stay put in their homes ,unless a trip outside for absolute essentials. 

So yes , Australia , particularly Western Australia
Closed it’s hard borders ie, preventing people entering into WA , to stop the Corona Virus from being transported via humans  , thus preventing Community Spread in Western Australia . 
if there where exemptions to allow entry into WA , this was approved on Compassionate grounds via the Police Commissioner Dawson , followed with 14 day Quarantine in a hotel , ie, Each person Alone in a hotel room , food left at your door - unable to leave your hotel room at all.

There is now mandatory Corona Testing upon entering WA , even with borders still closed , everyone must be tested for Corona Virus .

Australia and Particularly The State of Western Australia
has been a leading Globalist Voice and Visual Encouragement in the Prevention, Management  , Containment  of this Global pandemic , Corona Virus ,
displaying to the Rest  of the World  how Constructive Governance  ,Unity within Western Australia State and between other Australian States, 
Unity of all its Citizens has proven to be 2nd to none
in
Expediting  The Excellence  The Unifying The Courageous  of Humanity’s  Mental Strength , Compassion, individually & towards  one another in the largest scale possible. Uniting in Real Time as One   Western Australia &   Australia . 

The Global dependence Abruptly
sprung upon the world  one and the other Simultaneously  in the requirement of  an immediate Strong Uniting of
All Governments GloballY 
 Was absolutely imperative to prevent
A World disaster of unknown  epic proportions,
larger and more transportable due to Evolutionary  advancements, on a scale envisioned much Larger than the Black Death . During 1346–1353.

The Australian Government, Police Force, Health DirectiveS , and Our general population in the Prevention Containment and Management of Corona would indeed benefit the World GloballY , as indeed Management in other parts of The Globe. 

2020  Currently and in the  foreseeable future  is Leaving the 
world  presently with a cloud of  trepidation  and fear 
for our near future economically,  right across the Globe.  
albeit a
Lesson in Humility of a Global Scale has been observed and is to be highly commended

Here’s to a fighting future for  The World to  “ Brush off The Dust “ 
and as history dictates 
The World will rebuild , unite , learn and live life to the fullest . 

read up and learn how a Uniting of Global Proportions in 2020  , utilising Virtual Reality Technology, and Modern Governance saved The World from liniment Global Disaster,

Western Australia was a leading visionary with impromptu Self Management of Corona Virus within its own Australian State .

The rainbow was symbolic of peace and comfort for children during this pandemic.the Rainbow printed upon T shirts and drawn in drivewaysin rainbow coloured chalk .
as where teddy bears displayed in ones front room window so the kids would feel united  in a world some could not fathom in reality, deprived of their play mates, their nanas n grandads,  and their days at school   , enduring months of isolation within their prospective homes , Social playgrounds closed , all Outdoor social activities suspended. 
let’s not forget the
IT workers  keeping our internet active for virtual catchups with family or in some cases Employment ,Most importantly asa direct Correspondence of Daily Corona Virus updates into our homes from Government Departments and Police Commissioner,  
The Workers keeping our homes connected to Electricity & Gas of which if not available would cause immense REAL ISO  in ones home ,
The General Stores like Woolworths Coles  IGA Delivering food to the vulnerable and people with disabilities, their is an endless list of Community Services that engaged out of sight  of the majority, volunteering a varied amount   
in keeping Western Australians as comfortable in Isolation as was humanly possible, 
Unity at its finest

Western Australian Government.
Prime Minister Scot Morrison , Treasure Josh Friedenburg Treasurer Ben Whyat  of WA * spelling later :) 
and National Cabinet ( COAG  council of Official Government) was replaced with 
National Cabinet  initiated by the travesty of Corona Virus .
National Cabinet is made up of Prime Minister & all State Ministers &  
Is  representational for all  Australian Government States  .
All Issues in Australia being held within 
The National Cabinet with be held collectively when required as a Nationwide Government Board Meeting.

One Amazing outcome of this National Cabinet has been the implementation of NEWSTART ALLOWANCE ( Dole Payment )
ie, Our social services supported income , 
Now RENAMED Job Seeker  gained a temporary 6 month increase of Allowance from $550.00per fortnight to $1100.00 per fortnight ,per person .
ThiS  much needed increase was a direct consequence of   Almost simultaneous Job Loss , Vast Volume of small & Large Business closure , all because of Corona Virus
And the absolute necessity of Containment,Management by Australian Government and indeed the entire World.

so Double The Australian Services social Income Support per person per 2 weeks , who lost jobs , inclusive  of those residents who were already in receipt of payment $550.00 prior to Corona Virus received the increase automatically.

  that’s an enormous gesture of goodwill towards Australian Residents and equally a very smart Government move , implemented as fast as a lighting bolt from the Skye. 

As Such If not a large scale Community Shut down of entire States ,cities ,towns ,Air lines ,  Employment Loss , would of caused
Grand Scale Ramifications from the Entire Australian Population , looters , Protesters , Total Anarchy  across the Entire  Country , 
as a consequence from almost  entire general population being affected 
Barely no business  or any one  person  escaped
the travesty of Corona Virus in 2020. 

Also their was. Job KeeperSupplement of $1500.00 per fortnight per person available to individuals & Business's for the loss of their Employment / business Income revenue , 
 this was to keep the contact and continuity of Business/Worker relationship active thru out Corona Virus Lock down .

This $1500.00 per person per fortnight, Social Services Australian Government Supplemented Income was  for those business’S with proof of loss of Trade income  enabling them to pay their Employees a Weekly wage for a 6 month period , regardless of if they worked casual or full time , indeed some people may of came out with $hundreds better of financially .

The Government Job Keeper Supplement possibly saved thousands of people loosing their homes , enabling them to continue to pay their mortgage / rents and put food on the table . 
Albeit currently only for a 6 month period in total.

when Corona Virus restrictions are eased off and Western Australia returns to storm form of normality, 
Australian Government National Cabinet are considering a permanent increase of the $550.00per fortnight, per person of  basic Job Seekers Payment,
to what $increase is yet to be released by Government.

Because of Corona Virus Travesty  , and followed with a direct. Consequence of grand scale Employment loss & Business Closure this has  jolted the Australian Government into waking up to the fact Job Seeker Payment was already a longtime cruel and demoralising Income support per person per fortnight, for the already unemployed ,* 

let alone the shock that was to be , to the unemployment of thousands due to CV, 

* especially with basic rental properties in the region of $220.00 per week , additional. rent assistance $120 per fortnight , food clothes, electricity , transport , medical, IT ,
no way was $550 +$120 = $670 per person per fortnight a Basic a Living Wage in Australia by anyone’s standard of living . 
ASK ME 
I have been subjected to that almost inhuman predicament for several consecutive years , Thru no fault of my own, as is a  direct consequence of  re- Occurring  injury/ illness/ over worked from A working life full time from 15 years of age .
To be sorted in my near distance time frame.

I gave a list and one occasion we went to a Trendy Denim Store , very expensive, 
Dad bought the entire family Denim Jeans , Shirts etc,
I am positive he felt that pinch ,
