🏠✊ Exciting news from the ACT! Senator David Pocock and member of North Sydney Kylea Tink have joined forces to introduce the National Housing and Homelessness Plan Bill 2024, into both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The proposed bill advocates for the recognition of ADEQUATE HOUSING AS A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT FOR ALL Australians by mandating the federal government to develop a comprehensive and long-term strategy to reform and improve Australia’s struggling issues of housing affordability, availability, and homelessness. If passed, it would establish a 10-year plan, ensuring sustained progress beyond political cycles. Key highlights include: 🌟 Creation of a National Housing Consumer Council 🔍 Establishment of a Housing and Homelessness Advocate for oversight 📈 Enhanced transparency and accountability of decisions made We couldn’t agree more with Ms Tink’s words “Amid a new wave of homelessness, worsening rental affordability and intergenerational inequity, and housing affordability surging to ‘impossible’ levels, we urgently need to come together to deliver a meaningful, legislated, national approach to ensure all Australians have adequate housing.” This is news we love to see, as every person deserve the basic human right to an adequate standard of living, which includes the right to adequate housing 🏡 Source: https://lnkd.in/gUKrrmZM
