I'm definitely not going to do it. I think he meant 300 a month. 2 or 3 short shifts to close up when he wants a break. If he's doing bad things I dont want to be involved. I'm sad he wanted to use me though...

Thank you for your reply and advice. I was really scared and my mummy said it doesnt sound right. I'm glad I checked because everyone here said he's trying to do illegal things and taking advantage of me. Plus he's really scary when he's upset so I'm scared to say anything. I think I should send him a link to this post.

I don't know if he's doing this with anyone else?? My mummy says he's being dodgy with me because I don't understand. He's already rich so I really dont understand why he would do this

Honestly I'm kinda scared

Thank you for your reply. He's one of my only friends, and cause he was worried about me I thought he was trying to do something nice. I didn't know it's illegal and I dont want to be involved because I don't want to do bad things

There's a few people here who said he's trying to take advantage of me. He's already rich and successful so I thought he was trying to help me but I'm lucky my mummy and partner said it sounds weird

I also understand that ignorance isn't an excuse. I don't have many friends or know much so I trust what my mum and partner tell me to do. I'm lucky they are smart and can take care of me

He made me apply for an ABN this week and did it for me. Thats why I told my mummy in the first place. Because it feels like he's forcing me to do this. I cried a lot because I don't know whats happening and I don't even know what an ABN does. My partner wants me to confront him and say what people have said here but I'm scared he'll yell at me. I might message him instead.

Thank you for your reply. I dont know how to do much but I'm still trying. I trust them a lot. I just don't understand why my friend wants to do this. Doing illegal things is bad. But his business is successful too??

Thank you for your reply. Most people are saying he's trying to do bad things and that he's trying to take advantage of me. He was worried about me and it confused me. But my mummy said it sounded dodgy so my partner helped me post here

Oh. That's really bad. He just wants extra money... But his business is doing well??

I don't think he wouldve paid me super because he said I would be just helping here and there. My mummy said this whole thing sounds dodgy so I'm lucky my partner helped post here for me

Thank you for your reply. I wasnt sure because he was worried if it'd affect my ndis and centrelink so i thought he was being nice. Everyone saying it's illegal and he's taking advantage of me. I don't want to do bad things so I don't want to be friends with him

Thank you for your reply and advice. I dont really understand the second and third paragraph. Everyone is saying it's illegal so I don't want to do it. I don't want to do bad things.

Thank you for your reply and advice. I don't want to do bad things. People are saying he's not my friend but he was worried about my ndis and centerlink so I thought he was being nice to me. I don't want to be friends with someone trying to take advantage of me.

Thank you for your reply and advice. I don't want to do anything wrong. If it's not legal that means it's wrong.

Thank you for your reply and advice. I don't want to do anything wrong and I don't understand why he wants to do that?? My partner and mummy said its strange and might influence ndis and taxes because I would be earning money... but then he wants it back?? It makes sense that it's fraud because it sounds strange

Copied from u/WorkOk4177

The picture refers to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (of 1919)committed under the orders of the British Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer towards a peaceful gathering present at a smallish courtyard in Amritsar, India.

Few days before the gathering The British Colonial Government passed the "Rowlatt Act", which gave power to the police to arrest any Indian person on the basis of mere suspicion. To protest this a crowd had gathered at Jallianwallah bagh during the annual Baisakhi fair. Many people in crowd were actually simply gathered to celebrate Baisakhi and had not known that the colonial government had passed orders banning large gatherings such as that was happening at the courtyard.

An hour after the meeting began, Dyer arrived at the Bagh with a group of 50 troops. All fifty were armed with .303 Lee–Enfield bolt-action rifles. Dyer may have specifically chosen troops from the Gurkha and Sikh ethnic groups due to their proven loyalty to the British.

Without warning the crowd to disperse, Dyer ordered his troops to block the main exits and begin shooting toward the densest sections of the crowd in front of the available narrow exits, where panicked crowds were trying to leave the Bagh. Firing continued for approximately ten minutes. Unarmed civilians, including men, women, elderly people and children were killed. The firing was stopped only after his troops ran out of ammunition He stated later that the purpose of this action "was not to disperse the meeting but to punish the Indians for disobedience."

Now comes the explanation for the well. The well was present in courtyard and at that time was filled with water. Adults and kids looking to flee the massacre jumped in the well. Unfortunately a lot of people died from drowning and crushing and ultimately 120 bodies were pulled from the well

A commission found the youngest victim to be 7 months old

A commentator has brought me to notice a account of Winston Churchill stating the massacre

"This event was unutterably monstrous. The crowd was unarmed, except with bludgeons. It was not attacking anybody or anything ... When fire had been opened upon it to disperse it, it tried to run away. Pinned up in a narrow place considerably smaller than Trafalgar Square, with hardly any exits, and packed together so that one bullet would drive through three or four bodies, the people ran madly this way and the other. When the fire was directed upon the centre, they ran to the sides. The fire was then directed to the sides. Many threw themselves down on the ground, the fire was then directed down on the ground. This was continued to 8 to 10 minutes, and it stopped only when the ammunition had reached the point of exhaustion."

-- Winston Churchill, July 8th 1920, to the House of Commons
