'You couldn't eat it': Food for tower residents left in corridors as deliveries delayed

"It's a relief, even if people aren't being told about it," he said. "But there's still a lot of uncertainty and still a low of people worried."

Tekeste Hailu, who lives in the Flemington flats with his 73-year-old grandmother, said the box he received had expired food in it. It had jam with no bread, cereal with no milk. She said the meals were labelled with ingredients and heating instructions and DHHS was expected to translate those labels on Monday.

A spokeswoman for ASRC said it would deliver its first meals at 8am on Tuesday, having committed to cooking 1000 meals a day.Due to the strict lockdown, she said the government would then distribute the meals to households using personal protective equipment.

Send them Macca’s and 2L cokes and they’ll be over the moon

Give me a break,it is day 2 of hopefully a short lockdown . The media’s lust for drama will only be satisfied if covid dead bodies start piling up . Reporting is feeding anxiety. Nothing is perfect. Do journalist bother to inform selves of what’s happening in other countries 😡

Get them out of housing and make them get a job and pay rent like rest of people that work do, See how ungrateful they are then.

Most residents are appreciative of the food supplies it’s just the very few ones that are unappreciative that the media pays attention too

You’d think they’d be thankful

Deport NOW!

This policy is going to be a disaster. Sensible thing would have been to take sick to hotels for quarantine.

Why are they the only pple in Australia treated with such viciousness

Have you sent a journalist to the site or are you getting your information from Twitter? Looks like the latter. You used to be good. In the 1980's.

Need some pork? Willing to send pig.

Second day and they’re already starving...

'You couldn't eat it': Food for tower residents left in corridors as deliveries delayedResidents in nine locked-down public housing towers in Flemington and North Melbourne have complained about food delivery delays and poor communication. What is it that they expect? Uber Eats? Apartment towers in the CBD have up to 900 units each, no outbreaks. Here with much less than that, they cannot follow the rules. Shut up and sit tight. Next they’ll want dinner from a restaurant in Flinders Lane with wine. It’s the 2nd day wouldn’t matter if was a 10 course meal delivered the reports would still not be favourable it doesn’t suit the narrative Let's be honest, most of them should be eating prison food anyway.

Melbourne public housing residents welcome lockdown, but voice concerns over food provisionAs nine towers in Melbourne remain in hard lockdown, residents of their public housing flats report vastly different experiences of being plunged into sudden isolation. Just give those degenerates a tin of tuna, some rice and water, they're use to eating animals back in their third world countries. Fear the Lord and repent of your sins for judgement is coming and heaven or hell. 2 Cor 5:10: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad. “Jesus Saves” 'Welcome lockdown' is a bit of a stretch.

Scramble to get baby formula, food to thousands in 'hard lockdown'A mammoth effort is underway in Melbourne to supply thousands of housing commission residents with essential supplies, including baby formula and food, after they were put into emergency coronavirus lockdown without warning yesterday. 9News Ffs Dan. Hopelessly out of your depth. So puts people under house arrest then works out the logistics post lockdown..... doesn't it work the other way around? How on earth are they going to look after people who are on medication or need carers to survive or get them through the day. Remove the Covid Positive people or it will end up like the nursing homes. Lifts and hallways should be sanitised continually.
