When are we going to start seeing social and affordable housing not as a welfare issue, but as an infrastructure issue? Great questions from the audience #regionalneeds

Up to 85,000 jobs are at risk in the residential construction sector across NSW over the next 18 months. Our msg to the NSW Gov: constructing 5,000 additional #socialhousing and #affordablehousing units is the best way to support those jobs and communites across NSW.

To achieve a big spike in residential construction you need to concentrate Government stimulus spending on building houses that wouldn't get built otherwise. Else it's not a stimulus, it's just an expensive waste of money. @BrendanCoates

Last year, we supercharged our safety net to keep the most vulnerable out of poverty. This year there’s nothing for households on the lowest incomes - a big gaping hole.

Are you suffering ‘middle-class pandemic guilt’? Perhaps you should be

The absence of support for low-income Australians during this phase of the pandemic is accelerating wealth inequality.

Good on @Change_Record and @_EverybodysHome for raising this critical issue - appropriate housing is key to improving health outcomes and preventing family violence.

Thousands of new homes needed as ‘emergency measure’ for Indigenous communities

Two First Nations advocacy groups are urging whichever party wins the May election to build more than 8000 new homes to fix overcrowding in remote communities.

Lack of affordable housing in south-western and western Sydney is making it easy for COVID to spread in those areas. Gov need to see affordable housing as “critical community infrastructure fundamental to the health of all.” @HomelessnessNSW @SydWestMS

Mee Mee and her mother Su don’t have much room to move. They share a bed in an old pool house in Blacktown and make meals in their “shower-kitchen”, while waiting more than six years for public...
