Temporary accommodation is NOT a home. It extends homelessness’s dispossession of the person and upsets any ability to feel secure at all. It removes agency from the person and doesn’t empower them at all. It empowers social workers who don’t care to do nothing real to assist. #HomesNow #auspol 😡
Quote: “Ms Walsh said many people had not been offered accommodation, and those that were had been offered only temporary hotel accommodation.
She said there was currently a "churn" of homeless people being put into hotels for a few days, then released back onto the streets.”

Homeless people from Moreton Bay City Council have ended up in Brisbane City Council and now risk being moved on from there too. Local Councils need to be helping the homeless to be safe, not evicting and passing them onto other Councils. Homelessness is a State concern. #HomesNow #qldpol
Moreton Bay Council and now Brisbane City Council - both LNP led Councils I might add, have decided to fine and criminalise the right to exist and the right to rest, by deliberately disturbing homeless people’s sleep and belongings and security. It is appalling. 😡 #auspol youtu.be/hrzYwMatrAs?...

#Homelessness is NOT a choice. It is systemic economic disadvantage and beyond personal control. Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner now wants to evict homeless people from Beisbane.

Brisbane mayor vows to evict homeless campers within 24 hours
The decision was made after the City of Moreton Bay made homeless camping a crime on public land, with the Brisbane mayor saying the city can no longer take a "compassionate and flexible approach".

Before you do anything - make sure all Aussies that need housing are housed in affordable long term rentals. Otherwise - invest elsewhere. Passive income shouldn’t leave people to die on the streets. Unethical investment is harmful. That’s a fact. #HousingForAll #HomesNow #RentersRights #auspol

#RaiseTheRate insisting that people live below the poverty line, forcing it on the unemployed and casually employed (allowing Pensioners to earn twice as much as JobSeekers while already getting a higher base rate) is wrong.

The base rate of JobSeeker for a homeless person is $778.00 per fortnight. Homeless people don’t get rent assistance. The rate of JobSeeker is so low it is driving homelessness. There is no doubt in my mind about it. Pensioners on much more, are struggling. #HomesNow #RaiseTheRate #auspol 🏡 😔

You would think they’re well aware of that solution. Abrogating responsibility - ignoring the reality. All levels of government have to work together to solve this - they can start by raising the rate, slowing down rent increases, and stopping evictions to homelessness. & #HomesNow #auspol #housing
