i know "every #homeless#person deserves compassion and #support regardless of their circumstances prior to becoming homeless" etc. etc. but it really is crazy hearing #stories from #people who were like, #workingclass or otherwise #homeowning people who had One (1) misfortune happen that caused them to become homeless. like that "you are one #financial#crisis away from #homelessness" thing is terrifyingly #real
"I refuse to give a single penny of my hard earned money to people receiving government aid. They're probably milking the system and just too lazy to get a job."
#people who would gladly give $1,500 every month to a rich #person who already owns five houses

We feel frustrated when someone stockpiles the latest iPhone models on release day, only to sell them off later at inflated prices. But when someone does the same with houses - buys them up and rents them out for much more than they're worth - it is just fucking business as usual. Some even go as far as calling it as good business strategy. 🥴 There's something not right and something bit disgusting when making money off someone else's need for shelter is just called business as usual. It's a system that celebrates greed and overlooks those who are getting squeezed. When the number of vacant homes surpasses the count of homeless people, it's high time we shift our perspective. It's just more apt to describe it as a "Landlord Issue". Maybe add the adjective 'greedy' to that, as well.
There’s a Senate inquiry into the worsening rental crisis!
Thanks to the Greens you can now write a submission to a committee inquiry into how the rental crisis is affecting you and your community, provide evidence, and shape the reports that’ll be given to the National Cabinet in September and November to suggest how they can address the rental crisis.
This is super important! The information that YOU give to this inquiry will inform both the state and federal government about just how dire the situation is and help it understand how it needs to do more to fix the rental crisis in #Australia.
So share - and don’t forget to click here to submit BY 28 JULY!!!
