But the Oligarchs have $$$ & the power, we need to figure out a way to change that...
Feel free to show us where, when and how this catastrophe is being remedied.
Surprisingly, a lot of those have not been rented in the last year. This is because they are a tax scam, not a money generating business.
We should still take steps to disuade empty houses though.
It doesn't have to be one or the other - it can be both, and more besides.
That poor woman to loose her child and be treated like that.
She needs to be somewhere safe and comfortable so she can grieve for her child in peace.
The state of the homeless in this country is a tragedy.
In times of grief, I've been absolutely numb; unable to think, barely making it through the day.
What they're doing up there isn't helping people. All they're trying to do is scatter them so it doesn't look as bad.
Stuff em. Do yer job!
Our local furniture bank, run by the Lions' Club furnished it for her for nix. That's how community helps people.
I despair for all those who are in that boat.
My husband runs the furniture bank for the club. He repurposed the way it works. He takes service very seriously.
The CRC are awesome.

Calling for that right now.

Will do.
If they haven't abstained from the vote of any housing by-laws that may enrich themselves, they should be hauled off to the CCC for corruption and kicked off the council.
These sweeps do absolutely nothing to address the reasons for homelessness in the first place.
It’s time government builds temporary housing like the ten pound poms got.
“The current system is creating skills shortages by supplying the economy with the wrong types of workers, while also exacerbating housing and infrastructure shortages”

And Air B&Bs are eating up housing too. That needs to be banned until housing crisis ends
At least at the end of the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme (1945–1982 IIRC), migrant adults were charged rent for temporary housing there
Google it 👍🙂

The housing shortage is predominately result of governments incentivising investors ahead of home owners or renters, and governments abandoning social housing programs - not refugees.

Plus, the bigger issue is how 30 years of govt policies have deliberately turned housing into a multi-billion dollar taxpayer-subsidised investment vehicle for a few, rather than a place for everyone to live.
Instead, the most wealthy have captured our government, subverted our democracy, claimed ownership of our resources, and pocketed the wealth that should be shared by ALL Australians.
