The highest incidence of homelessness is among younger adults and children. i.e young singles and families. That’s why we need to #RaiseTheRateForAll and #BuildSocialHousing #Budget2023 @InsidersABC
Such awesome work from @CHIA_News + @RewiringAus Budget 2023: call to fit public housing with solar as residents limit energy use to fight soaring bills theguardian.com/australia-news…
“The report found there were no rentals in the country considered affordable for a single person on the government's youth allowance payment, which pays between $332.90 and $720.40 a fortnight in most cases.” abc.net.au/news/2023-04-2…
“But the federal government should double the size of the fund – from $10bn to $20bn – and guarantee that the funding will flow irrespective of returns.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Great to see this spotlight on the housing crisis & powerful analysis “the mounting evidence that one of our most basic needs – shelter – has become a dangerous financial instrument.” @swrighteconomy smh.com.au/politics/feder…
Wondering why you voted Labor? You can help it see sense. Call 1800 TELL JIM (actual number in story). #raisetherate canberratimes.com.au/story/8166312/…
Happy #AUSLANDAY2023!
In the ACT we are on track to lose more social and affordable homes over the next 3 years with the National Rental Affordability Scheme winding up (2320 affordable rentals) than we will gain under the Housing Australia Future Fund (540 at best) over 5 years.
I know setting up the Housing Australia Future Fund is just a start but we need the government to make a better start than this when we are talking about one of the biggest crisis facing our communities.
I have been asking Housing Minister & Govt not to cut $65 million from frontline homelessness services at a time where we are seeing increasing demand for services and so many people doing it tough in our communities. That's 650 frontline homelessness service jobs on the line…
The blame for tradies wearing the losses when building companies go bust lies squarely at the feet of politicians. People have been asking for reform for years and we've seen the ACT and federal govt ignore them or roll out platitudes. It's not good enough. Let's fix this now.
Women should feel safe walking alone in public. Women should feel safe at work. Women should feel safe at home. Women should feel safe online. Women should feel safe in public transportation. Women should feel safe EVERYWHERE. RT if you agree!

Women in Australia deserve better, governments have to do better and as a society we have to do better. That's why we'll be convening the National Cabinet with one issue on the agenda: immediate, meaningful and practical action to address family violence.

We need a social security safety net that actually keeps ppl safe. Today's independent expert report to govt shows ours doesn't. Despite small increases in last year's budget, rates of income support for the most vulnerable remain the lowest in the OECD.
Well worth reading this article from @CroweDM (and checking out @JonHaidt’s new book he references) about the huge negative impact social media is having on young people’s mental health and our society. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
With some modest changes to negative gearing & CGT discounts on investment properties we can protect existing investors, ⬆️ home ownership esp for young ppl, ⬆️ new housing supply & ⬆️ social & affordable 🏘️ theguardian.com/australia-news…
30 women have been killed in Australia this year. That's more than 2 a week. It is a national emergency. Men's violence against women is a men's issue. We need to step up, take responsibility, drive social change & ensure women are safe in our country.
I wish Lambie & Pocock well in quest to curb #negativegearing. It is middleclass #Welfare that produces low quality exorbitant rental #housing. Crossbenchers challenge #Labor to limit negative gearing afr.com/politics/feder…
Another day, another HECS horror story. The govt has to act on student debt urgently, before the next round of indexation is applied. Higher Education has to be affordable, not a dead weight that holds ppl back for a huge chunk of their adult life. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…
Thanks for coming to my fifth Town Hall, Senator Pocock.
Thanks to @Mon4Kooyong for the invitation to her town hall. We discussed lobbying reform, climate politics, the Middle Arm petrochemical hub & lots more. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the other independents who are standing up for their communities & holding the govt to account.
"... the words that mattered most from Justice Lee were these ones at paragraph 620 of his judgment: "Mr Lehrmann raped Ms Higgins." — Laura Tingle abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…
Multiple policy solutions are needed to address 🇦🇺's housing crisis. The govt's proposed shared equity scheme is one part of that. By taking a 30 or 40% equity stake, eligible ppl who would otherwise never be able to buy a home will have a shot at home ownership.
@DavidPocock The very least govt could do is collect enough PRRT that education, mental health care & age care could be free. Govt is supposed to be building the future. We will fail if only the rich can afford to learn.
