It’s time we asked: what is the cost not just to the budget, but to society, when the richest are helped to get richer? The question ‘how do we pay for it’ only seems to come up when the government spends money on things that help low and middle-income earners

‘So you are worried about how the government will pay for $8.5bn to improve Medicare over 4 years?

How about the fact the richest 10% will get $27bn this year in tax breaks from the capital gains tax discount, negative gearing & the superannuation tax concessions?’

Homelessness much worse than before COVID leaves agencies battling a perfect storm Agencies that help people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness are struggling to house them because of the shortfall of social housing and intense competition for affordable rentals.

You can’t end anyone’s #homelessness if there’s no #housing. State government’s must reinvest in social housing. #fixhousing

Rebecca is living in a hotel with five kids while they wait for social housing There's pressure on the government to fund and build more social and affordable housing, with one insider describing the shortage as "extremely severe".

State governments need to re-invest in public #housing. Not just because that’s what civil societies do, but because paying for motel rooms is costly and an inappropriate place for children to grow up. #fixhousing

The dark side of Sydney's housing crisis: 20 people in two-bed apartments and shocking health risks Sydney's housing crisis is evolving into a hidden health crisis and as rents soar, some residents face an impossible choice: unaffordable housing or unsafe living conditions.

How’s that *housing is exactly the same as any other consumer product and the market will fix it* attitude working for everyone? #fixhousing #homelessness #nswpol

And I’ve been told by State govt folk that public #housing *loses* money every year. It seems to be widely accepted inside govt that this form of public infrastructure needs to make a profit or at least break even. It’s like they’ve forgotten their reason for existing. #fixhousing

Don’t think this isn’t happening in Australia, either. All over the world governments have disinvested in public #housing. Kids (too young to be on social media) robbed of their childhoods as our public money pays for insecure & temporary shelter. #auspol #fixhousing
