these politicians have never had to worry about where they're gonna sleep at night. easy to be 'careless' when you've got a warm bed.
facts. they'll spend ten times as much on policing this than if they just gave people homes.
bloody clowns. another policy from people who've never set foot in a real community.
get stuffed lol. the only 'real community' they care about is their mates in the boardroom.
I'm surprised they actually listened to a judge for once. But 'careless and callous' is putting it mildly tbh. This govt loves kicking people when they're down.
my flatmate works at a shelter and she says the proposed changes would leave heaps of vulnerable people with nowhere to go. for what? saving a few bucks?

same here. my mate runs a food bank and he's seen the numbers triple. this govt is out of touch.
ffs why do we always treat the symptom and not the cause? build more social housing and stop wasting money on these stupid moves.
exactly. it's not rocket science. but they'd rather look tough on crime than actually solve anything.
it's heartbreaking watching this. we need compassion not these cold hearted policies.
bet the minister's never even spoken to a homeless person. just another box ticked on their way to a cushy board role.
yep typical. they'll come visit a shelter once for a photo op and think they know everything.
my neighbour lost his job and ended up on the streets last year. could happen to anyone. we need to look out for each other not push people away.
yeah nah this is a joke. stop criminalising poverty and start actually helping people. we pay enough tax ffs.
nah this isn't about saving money, it's about punishing people they don't like. simple as.
