The Labor Deputy Mayor is no better -seen arriving at the town hall, but waiting in the wings until voting was over to avoid controversy. She has a chance to put her position on the table, by supporting the motion to rescind so that community who were cut out of this have an opportunity to be heard.

He knows that turning his back on evidence and on harm reduction will go down badly and that’s why he brought it on with no notice and cancelled community consultation on the issue - it’s a disgrace.

It plays a crucial role saving lives and delivering pathways to recovery. Shutting it down would lead to devastating impacts on our community and preventable deaths on our streets and in our alleyways.
Deaths that will be on the Mayor’s hands.

The medically supervised injection facility was started because of the significant drug use and harm in the area. I would know - I lived just across the street before it existed and watched deals and drug use on my doorstep daily.

I welcome this outcome but with great caution - Labor knows the community is watching and expect them to deliver. But now they must follow through on the resolution and actually deliver the funding.

We won’t let up until they do - help us keep up the pressure to save cohealth.

As long as unlimited rent rises are legal, renters will live in fear of the next rent hike, and be forced to move time and again just to try to afford the rent.

If Labor actually cared about protecting renters - not just property developers and investors - they would introduce rent controls.

These are no-brainer reforms that will help stop landlords taking advantage of renters and using bonds to profit off renters. But they’re a clear sign of the power imbalance between landlords and renters.

We mourn every innocent life that has been taken. We need to keep coming together to call on our leaders to do everything in their power to stop the killing and ensure a lasting peace and justice in Palestine.

Time and again, we’ve seen isolated incidents used to characterise an entire movement as violent. It’s important that we distinguish that the hateful actions of one do not reflect a community of hundreds of thousands who have come together calling for peace.

We need to build, not demolish public housing and urgently introduce rent controls.

Meanwhile, Labor's solution to the housing crisis is to demolish all the public housing towers in the state and lock renters into unlimited rent increases.

And their 5% deposit scheme will be sure to send house prices skyrocketing and lock first home buyers into debt they can't afford.

The number of applications for public and community housing is up by 7% in the last year.

80% of landlords raised the rent in the past two years with an average increase of 17%.
