RALLY
END THE HOUSING CRISIS
NO MORE BAND-AID SOLUTIONS
4:30pm Friday 12th November 2010
112 Smith Street, Collingwood
Housing Minister Richard Wynne's office
BYO DRUMS, TENTS & BAND-AID PROPS
MC Rod Quantock and prominent speakers will tell us how the housing crisis is impacting on vulnerable people. Set up camp and drum Dick Wynne out of office.
With the State election looming, it's time for ALP Housing Minister Richard Wynne to face facts. He has overseen sky-rocketing rents, a huge increase in the public housing waiting list and attempts to privatise public housing.
It's time we called the ALP to account and demand an end to the housing crisis.
• Greatly expanded investment in public housing
• An end to privatisation and the corporate control of public housing
• Legislation to limit rent increases
• An end to illegal evictions
• An improvement in standards for rooming houses & the prosecution of rogue operators
• Increased funding for housing cooperatives
• Support for green housing
Presented by City Is Ours
On Tuesday 26th October and Wednesday 3rd November, City Is Ours will hold suburban public meetings in St Albans & Broadeadows respectively.
