Homeless camps are rising as affordability falls. It’s a problem Australia has solved before In the 1940s, tent cities and ‘shanty’ settlements appeared across Australia, as families struggled to find homes. The government acted then – and needs to now.

As this article points out, it's a policy decision to make homelessness rise, and the solution is also government policy, because folks doing it themselves upsets the lucky ones with two or more homes.

We should be learning from other countries...

Chasing ghosts, losing votes New research shows immigration is not driving voter anger, yet the Coalition is targeting it anyway – risking further losses in the diverse, urban seats it must win back.
