And is there an American version?

I did an extra training session at the RSPCA today ,Iām Level 1 so I can work with cats that donāt have behaviour issues or feral, I donāt mind cleaning out the cat condos and making sure they have plenty of food and water also check their litter boxes and clean out the yucky stuff,and have a play with them,cuddle them,etc
Iāll still help out in the laundry room too

Iām pleased that Iāve finally found an activity I enjoy doing and Iāve tried a few things. Iām happy to work as a volunteer for the RSPCA for as long as Iām able to,itās better for me physically and mentally to have something to do ,if I need to sit down and rest for 5 minutes,when my lower back starts hurting,no one is going to go mad at me. Iām ok so far with 4 hour shifts about 4 times a week.Iāll work weekends too because they canāt get as many volunteers on weekends

Bit late to this post but thatās so dodgy of your agent. The business gets some free labour and the agent will get money from the government for the placement. Iām so glad Iām in a different industry now, but I spent over 20 years working in hospitality and never had anyone work and unpaid trail. The only trials should be skills tests as part of the recruitment process. Massive reform needs to made to these job agencies, the majority would be a drain on tax payers more than those on measly benefits.
I hope the volunteering is working out, itās so important to be doing something.

What the hell is this guyās problem?! (friendlyjordies, not Drew)

I used to be a fan of his (and in the past Iāve posted a few of his videos here) but he has turned into a serious crank. Loves Russia, loves China, sympathises with the Jan 6 riotersā¦ yet (correctly) protests against corruption in Australia! What gives? In Jordies-land, dictatorships are clearly okay if they are anti-West. He apparently has recently spoken about āthe Israel lobbyā too. Heās mates with that knuckle-dragger Russian ultra Simeon Boikov. And he has the nerve to complain about the ABC?! Awful man.
He spews so much drivel he could be concurrently left and right wing simultaneously.

Perhaps the horseshoe theory was right after all? I could see him going One Nation in a decade or so - or even full totalitarian communist. The man speaks out of both sides of his mouth, so itās impossible to tell.
Iām going to try to get approval from Centrelink to just do 30 hours per fortnight of volunteering for the RSPCA to count as my āobligations ā to receive their measly payment. Iāve signed a form and someone from the volunteer office has also signed for me and Iāll hand in the form to them before the weekend .Thereās other volunteers there about my age who have done this too.
It feels good to be working for them and I can visit some cats too,thereās one there I really want to adopt, 
Iāll have to ask permission first though

Iāve said it before and Iāll continue to say it - Shanks is just as dangerous as those on the right spouting absolute garbage on Sky. In fact, Iād argue possibly more dangerous because heās been able to attract an audience of younger people who seem to take every word he says as gospel.
He has almost singlehandedly increased the anti-Greens sentiment amongst Millenials and Gen Z through his whiny bullshit where itās getting to the point that many are simply regurgitating FJ talking points without any consideration for what they actually represent.
