Aussie at heart, Thai/ Chinese/ Arabian /Egyptian descent, ☯️ not left nor right, say it as I see it, homeless fighting back at the gov to do more for others
This cold weather in a tent is making kids sick. Poor little Myah. Picked her up from school and she came straight back to bed. Instantly fell asleep. Buddy is keeping her warm. He knows
We did it!! We fought, struggled for so long, went through hell just to get to where we are.
@RoseBJackson
contacted me personally and made this dream of having stability for our kids happen for us.
I am so happy we finally have a housing minister that actual does the job! ❤️
So this is us 😞😔 thanks to
@facsnsw
housing for telling us to go and live in a tent. It’s been raining and everything including myself has been wet. Setting a tent up in the rain is no fun. Where’s all the funding gone

A rather amusing piece of advice for the republicans who have been lied to by Trump et al.
I am enjoying seeing Americans hating News Corp as well.

Freezing nights and Rhiley has croup 🤦🏽♀️ homelessness is never something you wish upon your enemies. This “first world country” doesn’t care about children.
@AlboMP
@ChrisMinnsMP
this is what you’re doing to thousands of children who are living in tents Australia wide!
Pets are families too. No government agencies SHOULD tell you to get rid of your pets to get help finding a stable house! Without pets in our lives, I would be mental right now. Can you imagine the impact it can cause to kids who love their pets? That they have to get rid of them

For Mother’s Day, I’ll be spending it in a tent. Tomorrow is my daughters 16th birthday. She said she’s NOT having a get together with her friends that was willing to travel just to come see her because she is ashamed of being in this tent. My twins have been getting bullied.
It’s Mothers Day on Sunday and thousands of mums and kids will be sleeping in cars.
No wonder people hate politicians when you’ve got the Liberal Party and the Greens Party voting to stop housing for those mums and kids fleeing domestic violence 👇👇
Cost of living, homelessness and school expenses 🤔 be realistic
@JEChalmers
how can job seekers afford for their kids to attend excursions? Especially for larger families on job seeker and single parents.
Bracing for the rain. Another sleepless night invade the tent collapsing from too much water on the roof 😑 life of the homeless family and their pets. Even buddy doesn’t like the rain 😬

@Breakthruleader
Help me by raising awareness and getting people out of this situation or much worse. We need to fix this country so nobody has to live like this.
This was the most terrifying thing to happen when you’re living in a tent. Too much rain and the tents give way, wetting everything you own especially your kids. Having drips of water land on you is bad enough… constant maintaining the tent causes sleeplessness

Wild weather exposes 'real problem' struggling Aussies living in tents face >> - Wild weather lashed parts of the country this week, but insufficient shelter left many completely exposed.

@JulianHillMP
Homeless now for 3 months. Kids can’t go to school due to no fixed address. Not only does that put them out of education, it puts them in the category of significant risk of harm. 28 days for temporary housing assistance is a joke. Do better parliament!
Thanks
@salvos
for the $100 gift card after having to paying $1050 per week in accommodations🙄. See you in 6 months when I’m eligible for another voucher
All for being homeless…. Bullied! At school by other kids for being homeless. Don’t EVER speak about us again unless you are trying to actively CHANGE things that benefits us “mothers and children”.
@purplepingers
At our last house, this was what my landlord was getting a real estate agent “friend” to do while “evaluating” the sell her property after she issued me a vacate notice and I took it to tribunal. Have heaps more if you’re interested in a DM
Last few days I’ve been having phone calls with dept of education. They informed me I would get a fine if the kids did not go to school.
So I told them if they didn’t have the enrolment requirement of a “lease” for “proof of address” then the kids would of been at school already
@RobertB24039377
he is a good dog. And I will continue to fight housing nsw for him. They were telling me to surrender him so I had a better chance at getting into a house. Not for a million dollars. Other people I’ve met have done this. 7 years later they’re still homeless living in hotels
So good news everyone… two lovely men have offered to help me get my car on the road. Matthew paid for a clutch kit to be delivered to my house and Jase from Sydney will be driving to my place to fit the new clutch!! This is what community working to help others should do. ❤️
I’m selling my poor car as is😢🥺 she’s done us so proud. Kept going until we moved into a house. Everything he touches gets fucked. So many emotions. I love this car. Simply can’t afford to fix the clutch on it. Cost of living is killing me.

Housing just called me. They said my application for priority housing was closed by that patronising bitch that told me to go back to where I came from 😑 but seeing they received my doctors letter about my health conditions, they have since “reopened” it. I gave them my report😑
Spoke to my 12 year old daughter and asked her why she keeps staying in the tent and not out looking for a friend. “What’s the point of making new friends when I’ll only see them once and not hear from them again?” She says. Homelessness affects children’s mental health 😢

I’ve met families who have been living like I have for over 7 years. There is no hope. Millions are being wasted on god knows what. Where’s all the funding gone? Housing will send you to other services for help instead of help those in need. Passing responsibility to others.
@ChrisMinnsMP
Morning.. how was your sleep last night? This was my morning👇🏽 thanks to the previous government, thousands of us are currently living like this. The reality of being forced into a tent by DCJ housing. What can you do to change this? Perhaps extending TA for families? Hmm
@joncoopertweets
My son who is now ten but at the time he was 6, absolutely horrified when they announced that trump was president. He had no knowledge of trump but heard him speak once. He then said “ mum, trump is a very bad man and he says mean things and will do bad things”. Not wrong 🤷🏽♀️🇦🇺
Well this is something🤔 after rent is paid (that seems like a mistake on the social housing side) I’ll have this to live on and feed the kids for the rest of the week 🤔

@JEChalmers
How can homeless people enrol kids in school when the whole gov branch can’t get their shit together and help families who can’t have stability with accommodation? The system sets you up to fail….
Then they punish you for it.
But have you ever lived in a tent like my kids and many other children in this “rich country”? You have no idea what doing it “tough” means Albo. I challenge you to sleep in a tent for a WHOLE month with jobseeker pay. If you succeed, I will advocate people to vote for you again.
Growing up I saw first hand the difficulties single parents face. They sacrifice a lot to balance family and financial responsibilities.
All to give their children a future with greater security and opportunity.
For Mother’s Day, I’ll be spending it in a tent. Tomorrow is my daughters 16th birthday. She said she’s NOT having a get together with her friends that was willing to travel just to come see her because she is ashamed of being in this tent. My twins have been getting bullied.
@AlboMP
You grew up in social housing you should know how hard it is for parents like me who struggle everyday. When was the last time you read housing nsw policy on temporary accommodation? Maybe start there. 28 days temporary accommodation is a joke.

Stay off the crack there lad.. it’s the main cause of not being able to eat nor sleep. And is most definitely the main cause as to why you can’t interact with friends and family.. cause you’re ashamed of yourself and don’t want them to find out 🤣
No one in poverty can afford Christmas let alone “Australian made”. You and
@JEChalmers
ignored advisers about lifting ppl out of poverty and both you and him ignored it. There’s families living in tents/ cars wishing they have a home for Christmas. You ignored that too!

is in Coffs Harbour today. Maybe he can go and see tent city in the heart of Coffs Harbour behind the neighbourhood centre and tell us he feels safe walking through it with the cameras. Imagine how the families feel sleeping there every night.

Busy setting up the new house all day. Absolutely exhausted today. Kids having dinner on the floor 😅 no dining table or any draws to put things on. At least we’re grateful to have a house.

Tbh I would rather be in Thailand at this point in time. Even though they don’t have “social security” or any assistance with housing etc, the COMMUNITY helps everyone no matter who you are. And that’s what I miss the most growing up and being here
Hundreds of thousands of Australians are, right now, confronting homelessness. We met with one mother who has been forced to sleep in a tent with her four children while waiting for assistance.
We rented the same house for 7 years then the owner decided she wanted to move in and retire, then it was apparently selling. But now it’s been turned into an Airbnb 😑 after renovating the place. Gave us bad reference to other realtors because I dared to challenge her.
Being a renter is eye wateringly expensive. This is the kind of shit that professional poverty advocates don't have a clue about when they decide we're asking for too much.
@AlboMP
The best start in life? What about the children who doesn’t have fixed residential address? Do they not get the best start in life too? Asking for thousands of children who are homeless.

@RoseBJackson
get us this, she’s scrapped the 28 days TA. I hope to see rose also scrap DCJ policy on filling out the same paperwork repeatedly every time ppl walk in to DCJ housing. It’s ridiculous that you have to keep repeating the same information
84 days homeless and counting. This is the longest time we’ve gone without a stable home. What has this country become? And winter is around the corner. It’s getting colder and colder.
@DrLoupis
Na.. I’m from Thailand. Have grown up around it WAY before it became “normal”. I just mind my own business and carry on my way. You should do the same. The world is a lot better. You should try it sometime
Tax every landlord who leaves their properties vacant for more than 6 weeks. Evidence of “renovation” including tax invoices should be used as proof that it’s uninhabitable. Cap rental applications to the first 10 applicants who are applying for private rentals through realtors.
This cold weather in a tent is making kids sick. Poor little Myah. Picked her up from school and she came straight back to bed. Instantly fell asleep. Buddy is keeping her warm. He knows
The staff here have seen my tweets and have given us this. Also given us as many nights as we need on another side. Such kind gestures goes a long way. She was right. The rich ppl does make life hell for those in need. They will never know the struggles of how hard it is.
This is an issue close to my heart.
Single parents, who are overwhelmingly women, carry the world on their backs.
Our budget is lightening that load.
We’re expanding access to the single parent payment so it covers families until the youngest turns 14, up from 8.
@tanya_plibersek
Housing has refused to assist me for three months. After the 28 days of temporary assistance, they gave me the boot. 28 days of filling out all the rental diaries and getting nowhere when I’ve told them this. Single mum with children living in our car. What has become of us
I’m going to be fighting for everyone who own pets. Nobody should EVER be told by government officials to choose between a roof over their heads or family pets. Pets are not disposable.
Ps. Did you know children rights was adopted after animal rights legislation?
When you hang with known nazis and Avi yemini, don’t expect to be welcomed to a CARF rally. And when you’re not welcome, don’t make false claims of assault cause the colour of your skin. I’m a person of colour from an Asian decent. But I don’t go around playing the race card
Yep WACA and YARD were there and he had a bunch of proud boys itching to kick something off to use it for propaganda. Just like Avi

Seems to me like people these days just want that 15 min of fame. If you ask me or any other normal person, this is not attractive nor is it amusing at all. Do they have no shame? Are they not embarrassed by their actions? I thought people were intelligent enough to not do this🤦🏽♀️
