Givealittle for ‘Patchy’ the homeless coffee vendor as Council moves on licensing

Jonathan ‘Patchy’ Low sells affordable instant coffees from a shopping trolley in Auckland CBD.

Supporter Katelyn Ware has started a Givealittle campaign to raise funds for him, aiming to help him obtain permits and equipment for a proper coffee business.

Auckland Council has said he will need a licence to continue to sell coffee, according to a report in legacy media.

Nearly $5000 has been raised from almost 200 donors toward the $10,000 goal. Patchy’s aspiration is to establish his own coffee shop, filling a need for affordable options in the market.

  1. What God given right has the Auckland C***cil corporation to extort funds from people who at least try to make a honorable business supporting themselves, much unlike these very parasites who think they can re-make God’s will with their self-created mafia extortion racket called ‘By-law’.
    AFAIK there are already sincere and severe undertakings on their way, to unhinge so called ‘cuntcil law’. I’m just getting started to learn more…maybe there r others already equipped to name resources RE Admiralty Law, Common Law, and (I think, still learning, please fill in if u can) Law of the Land.
    Doesn’t them scum not behuf to play it quietly?
    Getting more brazen by the day…me thinks they need to refreshen ‘risk management protocols ‘.

  2. This is where government grant money should be earmarked and slated for start-up low-overhead cost businesses.

  3. This country has far too many rules to stifle entrepreneurial people.

    The homeless are another statistic. Why are they homeless? Because the cost of putting a roof over your head is far too high. We aren’t short of land in this country nor building materials. The problem we have is with the greed of a few. Who make the rules. If they freed up zoning the high cost of housing would plummet overnight. But that’s the problem isn’t it. How can we tax or rate people to pay for the excess of the few? Because our money sure doesn’t go on infrastructure like it’s supposed to.

    This country needs a major shake up of bureaucrats and so called “leaders”.

    • If any of the stupid sheeple who voted the current lot into power thought they would get a change, they are now slowly waking up (or not).
      Different colour, same traitors.

    • This is why people with any business sense move overseas….no one wants the nanny state with jack boots crushing their enterprise.

    • With regards to building materials, it is not the shortage but the process.

      The forestry blocks for timber are owned by offshore investors, which in turn means it is felled and shipped overseas. You only have to go the Picton to see this in action. It is then milled, and sold back to us with obvious increased costs, or swapped out for an inferior product.

      Now if only there was away to avoid this. 🤔

  4. Greedy bureaucrats want everything with their petty over priced licenses, paperwork and more….I wonder how long it will be before we need a permit to breathe?
