The reason far right scumbags stalked and threatened to kill my kids was all the time I spent helping refugees. Supported ones in our offshore prisons directly, met them locally, helped them move, taught them to drive, ran a support dinner.

I've also taken a few people into my house. One was a homeless man who became a good friend until he was a sex creep. A woman fleeing DV, my son's GF's mother.

I live in a support house to support foster kids

But the person who stays with me was a brief encounter. I was on my way to an event and I saw an old woman struggling with shopping bags. I went up and offered to help. I grabbed one bag and she struggled to grab hers so I took them both. She looked at me and said I've done nothing wrong. I said no, you have done nothing wrong and she started crying. I stood holding her in the shopping mall. Then I walked her to her bus. On the way she told me meth is the only way she copes with life. It was a pretty intense encounter.

Another time I was walking in the mall and this dude was verbally abusing his girlfriend. I stopped and loitered, determined to intervene if he touched her but not sure what to do. Another dude walked up and sat next to her and asked her how she was feeling. When the boyfriend tried to intervene he said with force, I'm not talking to you mate. He really supported her and defused the situation and I never forgot wishing I had done that.
