Why would you pay over $14,000 in premiums for funeral insurance when the average cost of a funeral is less than $8,000?

LOOK CAREFULLY. What does this tell you?

Fake Aboriginal companies, fake Aboriginal authors, etc. There's a trend happening here, isn't there? It's surprising how many Aussies want to forget about their non Aboriginal heritage, go figure. 🤔

So far, this government has not immediately extended any previous government programs. Alcohol bans, cashless welfare cards, mental health programs, etc. Then, when it goes south, blame the previous government even though they were the ones that did not extend the programs. 🤦‍♂️

ALL who claim be Aboriginal be checked , the amount of Fake aborigines is alarming, we caught alone last week 14 claiming to be Aboriginal heritage, it’s all caused by Labour under Whitlam and right now softening the rules regarding Aboriginal heritage. Now it’s a problem

Scams are common. Just like the people who fall for them.
