We joined in with One Day in Fremantle today as an appropriate celebration of this country and the Noongar land we live on.
Thank you City of Fremantle for hosting this culturally rich event & showing another way IS possible! #changethedate .
Housing MUST be the starting point of any solutions to homelessness.
We call on Perth Mayor Basil Zempilas to end the ban on food drives, to end the threats of using force to remove homeless people from the city & to provide real solutions to this crisis.

We demand better from ALL our elected officials.
Transphobic comments are harmful & discriminatory and can not be passed off as a joke.
