When my mum left my dad- "I knew if I stayed he'd kill me"- she moved to a small place with nominal rent. We've talked about how impossible this would be now, and what that might have meant. Housing justice can't be left out of discussions about DV - women need somewhere to go.
EIAC recommends an increase in rent assistance. To return CRA to 2000 rate requires an increase of around 20% (in addition to the 15% increase last budget). See ANU PolicyMod projection below.
Disturbing increase in housing costs as a share of income for low income households (bottom 40%) Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee
Government's own poverty experts tell Labor jobseeker payments should be lifted to 90% of age pension. Also want: * Better indexation * Rent assistance up * Abolish activity test for childcare subsidies * Overhaul employment services #auspol theguardian.com/business/2024/…
Quick summary of which household types in most financial need (EIAC) Most: Working age recipients (JobSeeker/parenting payment) Least: Age pension/childcare only families
Economic Inclusion Committee report out. Recommends substantial increase to JobSeeker and Rent Assistance and reform to employment services. dss.gov.au/sites/default/…
Report from the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee out today. Recommends substantial increases to JobSeeker and CRA and reforming employment services. We hope the recommendations are not ignored like they were last year. More at dss.gov.au/sites/default/… #raisetherate
BCCM member Common Equity NSW's CEO Nick Sabel said the co-op model has the opportunity for growth and potential to help tackle the housing crisis. 9news.com.au/national/a-sol… #cooperativehousing
@peter_tulip Shouldn’t we expect the ‘tax’ of IZ to come out of land owner profits (via the price developers are willing to pay for land) rather than out of developer profits?
Last week National Shelter joined with others in the National Affordable Housing Alliance to write to @AlboMP about the need to double the Housing Australia Future Fund and other actions required to enhance the govts housing and homelessness response

Reform of negative gearing and CGT discounts is needed and long overdue. Thanks @DavidPocock and @JacquiLambie for the PBO costings and range of policy options that demonstrate that tax reform is possible while protecting existing investments.

Given supply has been, and still is, the principal housing challenge, it shouldn’t come as a surprise the sorts of demand-increasing initiatives currently supported by the government do little to solve the problem, writes @JohnRHewson. #auspol #Insiders satpa.pe/lUQEs3M
"It’s difficult to understand why governments persist with property-related tax concessions, such as negative gearing and the capital gains discount, when the housing crisis is worsening, especially for younger Australians," writes @JohnRHewson. #auspol satpa.pe/wVl07tp
Household debt as share of GDP. 🇨🇭 Switzerland: 126% 🇦🇺 Australia: 110% 🇨🇦 Canada: 103% 🇰🇷 South Korea: 102% 🇳🇱 Netherlands: 88.8% 🇬🇧 UK: 80.6% 🇺🇸 US: 73.1% 🇫🇷 France: 63.9% 🇨🇳 China: 62.4% 🇩🇪 Germany: 52.8% 🇪🇸 Spain: 48% 🇮🇹 Italy: 39% 🇮🇳 India: 37.2% 🇿🇦 South Africa: 34.7% 🇧🇷…
Little know fact about JobSeeker is that it’s close to EIAC’s 90% of pension rate for couples (83%). The problem is singles it’s only 68%. Government just needs to be consistent and it’s almost there.
"For the past three decades, no serious attempt has been made in this country to address housing affordability." @JohnRHewson on the policies worsening Australia's housing crisis: #auspol satpa.pe/RmZlpJx
One of the hardest decisions I’ve had to accept since I started working in the sector is the Fed Govt decision on future uses at Pinkenba. Very disappointing and a big knock to the momentum I thought we had federally on housing policy. @qldshelter @NationalShelter
It was a proposal that would have given hundreds of Queenslanders a temporary roof over their heads, turning the 500 bed Pinkenba facility into short term accommodation for our growing homeless population. @MegESydes #9News
Marching with my daughter today to say enough ✊🏻💚💜 What’s the message we’re sending our girls? Watch what you wear, where you go. What we should be saying is: violence, abuse, control, they’re never ok. Violent, toxic male culture hurts our boys too. For all of them, enough.
When my mum left my dad- "I knew if I stayed he'd kill me"- she moved to a small place with nominal rent. We've talked about how impossible this would be now, and what that might have meant. Housing justice can't be left out of discussions about DV - women need somewhere to go.
@BenPhillips_ANU @shelternsw I'm interested in what instruments could provide rent assistance (via either level of government) to low income single private renters who don't draw any income from Centrelink but are worse off than FTB recipients who get CRA. Hard to do as Bonds Office wouldn't hold income data
Out of sight but shouldn’t be out of mind; Aged care enclave at Marsden Park - all that driveway hardly space for a single tree. No better in houses over back fence either; -Just having white roofs nowhere near good enough -urban heat island -unwalkable -social monocultures Fail
"Housing is social, health & economic policy. Let's remember the holistic approach of the past. Time for deficit rules & public debt definitions, minister summits & KPIs to ensure progress. Simplify access to funds for #socialhousing," @madsenbent says at #Vienna housing dialogue
EIAC recommends an increase in rent assistance. To return CRA to 2000 rate requires an increase of around 20% (in addition to the 15% increase last budget). See ANU PolicyMod projection below.

Disability advocates spoke on ABC Radio today calling for standardised national accessibility standards, as many people living with a disability are forced to live in group homes or nursing homes because of lack of accessible housing in the community. buff.ly/3JD2O2u
