    It’s a fucking travesty that Australia can’t do public housing like Singapore’s HDB/CPF, how can people be expected to do anything when their basic needs are not being met 😭 like a roof over your head, what?

    We have decades upon decades upon decades of bipartisan inaction on public housing to blame for this and currently no government has a serious policy in place to address that.

    “Social and affordable” isn’t the same as public and the abject failure of the model is exemplified by Victoria’s homelessness numbers. We can not afford to repeat it nationally.
