  2. 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: thenewdaily.com.au/news/politi )

    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.

  25. CW: #auspol #Riverina #election

    What's a person to do in the electorate of #riverina when faced with *thirteen* candidates?

    This is what I am going to do:

    1 - Jenny Rolfe [Community Independent]

    2 - Barbara Baikie [somewhat vague, but feminist]

    3 - Valxori Pheonix [The Greens (holding my nose because talking to the candidate was like talking to a 14-year old)]

    4 - Mark Jefferson [ Labor (uninspiring and no campaign in my part of the electorate)]

    5 - Jake Davis [Independent ???]

    6 - Grant Hardwick [Independent (tradie with apparently limited understanding of how government works)]

    7 - Richard Foley [Citizens Party (the first of the right-wing crazies on the ballot paper]

    8 - Desiree Gregory [Shooters, Fishers and Wankers Party]

    9 - Mark Craig [ One Notion]

    10 - Mark Burge [Family First ]

    11 - Christine Onley [ Libertarian]

    12 - James Gooden [Independent (but member of the Liberals that can't run under their banner because of the "three cornered contest thing)

    13 - Michael McCormack [Nationals (not only is he a Nat, but he is also *boring*, his nickname in Parlt House being "The Human Wallpaper"]

    bloody hell! between this and the Senate paper it will take forever to cast a vote...
