No soup for us.

“Well, when I’m on the street and I see them [Irish backpackers], I say ‘This meal is for homeless people, it’s obvious you’re not homeless, will you please step out of my line?’ And if they say no, I say to them, ‘You really don’t want me to embarrass you, do you? Step out. Now if I have meals at the end of the night, you’re welcome. But we feed the homeless first’. I think that’s a reasonable thing to say,” she said.

Ms [Bev] Lowe [of Manna Inc, which distributes 200 meals a night in Perth] said she can see that some backpackers experience problems, but it is important to her the Manna meals are served to the people they intend to feed.
