On RN, Albanese is asked about the figures showing that over half of people are rejected from the Escaping Violence Payment

'We need to make sure that people who deserve it, people who need it, get this payment'

ah yes - the deserving and undeserving victims of violence

Too many landlords, not enough housing justice.

The narrative that is being blasted through the media in Aus right now about the answer to men’s violence is prisons. We’ve been doing prisons since this penal colony was established and it hasn’t and will not stop men’s violence.

Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.

kristin (she/her) 🌻🌻Marnshibski🌻🌻 Anthony Albanese It appears that Albanese has appallingly little interest in providing public housing . This is something the “the bloke who grew up in public housing “ ( as he constantly
reminds us 😡😡😡) has the power to do NOW , but chooses not to do so . Shameful.

when I escaped abuse I was subjected to years of coercive bs from c'link and courts that kept me tied to and dependent on the abuser I was trying to get free of.

I was in fear for my life

Did a graph for the column and then took it out because of room. So you can all have it.

The violence of the empire in Palestine, Lee Point and the encampments was devastating to watch 💔

Many great grandmas have ASIO files for attending anti Vietnam War protests. Media wrote pearl-clutching opinion pieces of radical housewives in twin sets & sensible shoes, marching with students. Media & governments will always try to discredit changemakers to maintain control

But the package re-announced today is only $1500 cash. Rest of the $5k is for goods and services through a service provider. Extra admin when fearful for your life and homeless.

A carpark “housing” pilot project.

A reminder to Anthony Albanese and every premier/minister that governments are free to purchase homes for public housing at absolutely any time. This is not new, it is a tool at your disposal that you can choose to use more.

Israeli settlers attack humanitarian aid trucks on the way to the Gaza Strip, last night.

Fascinating (not really) the drips still going full swing at Sarah, and defending the PM, that have ‘voted Yes’ in their bios and/or TLs

Always telling on themselves

Heard the story today of a woman who lives in New England NSW. She had a rental below the market rate but had to leave suddenly because her abuser tracked her down. The cost of housing in the region now is such that her parents have decided to sell the family farm to help her.
