#PublicHousingNow
Profit has no place in shelter.
Affordable housing for all. Stop the runaway overly inflated housing market from killing Australia! It’s well on the way. #RaiseTheRate #PublicHousingNow #RentCaps tax incentives for landlords tied to creating long term stable rentals for people. #HousingForAll is multifaceted. #auspol
Screenshot of headline from ABC. Brisbane mayor vows to evict homeless campers within 24hrs. A photo above is of a green tent in a city park. There is a shopping trolley and camp chair to the right of the tent and a busy street behind it.
Another ABC headline: NSW premier accused of declaring war on Lismore squatters. The photo above it is a low shot looking across a front lawn to a street. There is a house, a white mini bus and yellow car in the background. In the foreground a sign is resting against a telegraph pole, on the grass. It is hand painted blue and white with the word welcome painted in red
Two states, two governments, both targeting society’s most vulnerable. Instead of evicting homeless people from tents and squats, why not build public housing? It’s not rocket science, it’s basic humanity. This is a disgrace.

These community housing providers scream in response: “we’re not for profit”! But they cost the public more and cause more harms. Rather than housing people they now think they should deliver medical and health services to them. I do NOT want medical care from my landlord. Do you? #PublicHousingNow
Looks to me like that private community housing provider is not very concerned about housing people, ensuring all of their units are well maintained or even about keeping their prices affordable. Very disappointing. #PublicHousingNow Get these community housing providers and their rorts out.
Empty: privately run affordable housing units! EMPTY for over a year. Excessive rents. No maintenance. Are these “community housing providers” any good at all? 😡 Picking and choosing tenants and then abandoning them and increasing fees. #HousingForAll #PUBLICHousingNow #HousingCrisis #auspol
$100 a month is $23.06/ week. I’m in private rental my rent went up by 42.5% per week, by $130. That’s $563.33 more per month. Public housing set percentage of income would be fantastic. #PublicHousingNow #CapRents #HousingForAll
Rents need capping at affordable for mainstream and for unemployed Aussies. Incentives to landlords like tax concessions for negative gearing and capital gains tax, landlord insurance, must be tied to good tenant’s being looked after long term. #auspol #housing #PublicHousingNow
And this is despicable. @jechalmers.bsky.social
#PublicHousingNow Drop CGT by 25% then charge the full rate without discount. #High taxes on empty homes. Reward landlords for maintenance while preserving long term stable and affordable tenancies for renters. Stop AirBnB’s ➡️ hotels! #auspol
Same services not seen demanding a raise to the rage of below poverty line payments. Social workers who don’t let the words #RaiseTheRate ever leave their lips less they be deemed unworthy of their jobs! 😡 people who know poverty kills. Lack of housing permanence harms. #PublicHousingNow #auspol
Public owned and run thank you. Everything else is always geared for profits and nowhere near as consistent in service delivery than if centralised through a body that not only knows the standards, is best placed to ensure they’re met. #PublicHousingNow #auspol
Sign the petition to STOP MORETON BAYS SHIRE COUNCIL FROM BANNING PEOPLE AND THEIR PETS FROM PUBLIC PLACES! Homeless people have nowhere else to go. This is a crime of the State, not the person.
