Why the big secret ?
Thanks to all who have helped me previously on the post "Pensioner Housing" My question is this,Why do Government Dept. feel the public dont know what they are talking about.Why the secrecy.
I tried all the avenues suggested to me ,& I am now back at square one.All the email contacts go to a central location & the answer is all the same,What are you talking about, we dont have waiting lists,we cant tell you anything about anything. If I wasnt a lady I would call it all bull effluent !!!
So now I am asking this, is there anyone out there, in Queensland, not too remote, who may have been allocated a Pensioner Unit in the last few months, & has some idea what the non existent Waiting List is, could they let me know.We are aged 70 & 76, we dont have that many years left,to wait 8-12yrs. someone must have some knowledge that isnt a secret. If we can find out, we can then apply in the right places,as it is, we are stumped.
Not all of us are financially troubled because of wasting our money,in the 1960s there were no such things as marriage settlements,compulsory superanuation, & financial advice. Marriage breakdown ,& business failure saw a lot of us in a bad way for retirement. We are lucky ,we have love & a sense of humour to help us cope, why cant someone help us just to spend our final years still smiling.
Elsie I live on the Fraser Coast area but dont know about Public housing ,just did a search for you
