It was emotional hearing from Hank, Jeanie & Helima, residents of the public towers under threat of demolition
Harry of @rahunion.bsky.social - was inspiring and
Zac of Stop the Demo pointed out that #publichousingIShealthcare

Exactly.
Lets increase rational representation in #SpringSt #kindnessandcourage4change #churchandstateseparate

Are you sick of MPs just bouncing from one lament to the next.
"Oh yes I agree, that's horrible"... then nothing.
I want real action on enough beds enough staff and reduction of ramping ambulances and hospitals on bypass.
If you agree, follow my indie journey to #VIC2026 #kindnessandcourage4change
Do you want an IBAC for Victorians?
That is brave enough to shine the light on corruption,
no matter how big the organisation,
and enable growth and the chance to learn from failures and betrayals.

Religion has NO right to dictate policy to the Australian government.
They do not hold the copyright on ethics, morals or values.
I will always fight for #churchandstateseparate ALWAYS
Victorians want evidence and empathy, not dogma and judgement guiding decisions.

"plans to demolish the homes of 10,000 Victorians and rebuild them by 2051"!
Theres 70,000 on the waitlist for public housing already
Demolishing 10,000 of current stock helps because?
The math doesn't math

And yet...
Those with the loudest voices seem to prefer to protect their investments, over the future livability of the world. ๐

They finish the article with a developers plea for understanding and support๐คจ
Stop providing investments instead of homes.
There were 100,000 empty residences in Victoria on the last census.
The supply is there. Its just locked away.

Public housing waitlist near breaking point?
There are 70 000 on the waitlist and our government is actively demolishing our current supply before adding to it.
It is broken!

"Has housing really become too hard to build?
Or does the difficultly lie in finding the political will to take the real steps needed to make housing more accessible to generations of Australians who risk missing out?"๐คจ

Sooo how is the government replacing that income?๐ค
Its not like the needs of Victorians and our communities have dropped.
We wouldn't need this if people could afford to survive & then have cash to spend at businesses
We aren't living,
Its a #costofsurviving crisis.
#kindnessandcourage4change
We have 70 000 people
waiting for public housing.
We have 30 000 people
homeless.
How is demolishing existing housing,
handing the property over to developers,
displacing those already housed,
and pushing people down the list,
helping?

The minister acknowledged this was an issue at our 2 catholic hospitals
But failed to provide a solution or even acknowledge that they would be held to account.

This is my region of Eastern Victoria. I will be pushing for more climate resilience investment on my journey to #VIC2026
We must now invest in protection from the fallout of choosing no action for the past 2 decades. #climaterescue #kindnessandcourage4change
Why does 0.3% of the population have so much power over policy.
When 1% are still bullied by exempt religous institutions
And 3% are denied a voice?
#changethepriorities
#kindnessandcourage4change
We say we are better than this.
We need to act like it.
We desperately need to double our public housing.
Ya know,
like up to the levels Albo's mum was able to benefit from.

Last day today!
Do you want housing to be a human right in Victoria?
Get on it!

I'll always remember the first time i heard
"Labor will tell you they are better but then screw you over.
Liberal will tell you to your face they don't care."
I find it very hard now to argue against it.
We deserve better than this.
We are allowed to ask for better.
#kindnessandcourage4change
Why am i starting a journey to #VIC2026
I do not think that I can stop this from happening๐
But I do hope to head off the waiters in the kitchen to spread the meal to the more important portfolios in the back๐ฅฐ

We don't have equality.
We are allowed to ask for more.
We should be able to afford a house, food, health, education & safety from a full time job.
What we do have,
could be easily taken away.
Add strength in numbers.
Tip the balance of power.

#kindnessandcourage4change
As long as Labor and Libs are determined to bow down to
Religion =morals/values
We are vulnerable to dogma influencing policy.
We must get rid of "advancing religion" as a reason not to pay taxes.
And stop funding discrimination in education with public funding.
#kindnessandcourage4change
Because proactive governance doesn't line mates pockets or have a ribbon cutting photo op.๐๐
However it does prevent human suffering and promotes stronger community.
#changethepriorities
#kindnessandcourage4change
Labor have no plan for homelessness or lifting people out of poverty.
Just because Lab/libs choose to ignore the problem does not mean Victorians don't see it.

Too expensive for whom???
For the few who pillage our resources, destroy our history and deny us of a livable future.
Inaction is what costs the majority of us. In health, happiness, finances, equality, family and opportunities.
#climaterescue #kindnessandcourage4change
The sooner we recognise and acknowledge this.
The better future prepared we can be for ALL.
Not just those who can afford protections from the damage their inaction has caused.
