Cop's kind gesture to Centrelink job seekers

'He totally made my day' - by Emily Olle 7News

Cop's kind gesture to Centrelink job seekers

An Adelaide police officer’s small gesture for those left jobless as a result of the coronavirus pandemic has made one woman’s day.

The member of the public, named Nicki, contacted SA Police on Monday after queueing outside the Centrelink office in Norwood from 6.30am.

“Hey guys just wanted to share this with you: a very lovely act of kindness,” Nicki wrote.

“While feeling very overwhelmed having to go to the Norwood Centrelink office at 6.30am (ready for it to open at 8am!) at 7.30am a cop car pulls up.

Security Check Required

“The young police man went along the line of 15 people, took their coffee order and brought back piping hot coffee for all… for free.

“No matter what this day brings, he totally made my day.”

In a similar move, a generous stranger handed out 30 cups of coffee at a Centrelink queue in Sydney last week.
