This blog highlights that our State Labor Government is not genuinely concerned with the most needy & disadvantaged members of society, those on waiting lists for public housing & those occupying public housing. Public Housing Renewal Projects will not reduce waiting lists,& moving out tenants for refurbishment and/or renewal leaves them much worse off than if no renewals were undertaken. Clearly the only winners are private developers & the non government housing providers who can & do cherry pick the pool of persons desperate for housing. The forthcoming conference of which public housing is a major topic for discussion is very welcome & long overdue. Lets hope our press representatives run with it & report it fairly. This important topic cannot be treated as 'fake news' Good on you Fiona for keeping this issue aliveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
