This is hitting too close to home to feel complacent about the lack of #SocialHousing

“An Indigenous woman, living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, gave birth to twins in a tent. One of those babies died. In a tent. Where their parents were living, because the waiting list for social housing in their area is up to seven years. The Sydney Morning Herald’s Amber Schultz has reported nearly 700 people are on the social housing waitlist in Wagga Wagga, a city with fewer than 70,000 residents.” (Source: https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politics/australian-politics/2026/05/06/baby-tent-housing-interest-rates )

One in a Hundred without a decent roof over their heads. Think about that as if one of them was you.

If the federal Govt is inept at solving the #HousingCrisis problem in the #Riverina electorate, then let’s elect a representative who will push an inept #NSW #Labor govt to step into the breach. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure the local #Councillors we elect to the #WaggaWaggaCouncil also have #Housing front and centre on their mind.

We can be better than this folks. We don’t have to put up with the crap we’re given by those love-sick on power at any cost. Think about our community, the whole of our community when you vote next time in #Federal or #State #elections. This is not about you or me, it’s about all of us in the Riverina. Safe housing, free healthcare, and social services delivery must be foremost on our minds. The other things that are making our lives miserable we can overcome once we’re all safely housed and in better shape to do somthing about them. Because of course we must, all of us, do something about them too.

Not surprised the #Tory #Councillors comments caused a shitstorm - I am not aware of *any* divided or no-go area in #Stowmarket caused by #Muslims or #Turkish folk (there aren't even that many there to start with, less than 100 in a town with population 21 500!)

Meet Reform’s regretters: councillors quitting just weeks into the job

#Reform is seeing unusual number of #councillors #resigning in their first few weeks in office. In each case, it will trigger a council #byelection costing in excess of £20k

Reasons range from dodgy #SocialMedia posts to not being eligible to stand in the 1st place

We look at some of them in more depth. [This article may be updated to reflect further resignations]
