Sorry I didn’t respond to this – is it working for you now? I just tested it with my facebook account and its working for me, but these things can be mysterious…

Well said! We can all breath a sigh of relief that the Morrison government has finally met its demise 😮‍💨  Turns out if you care for no-one but yourselves then eventually no-one will care for you.

Great work everyone in NASH, HOW and HAAG, meeting politicians, spreading the word online, sharing their stories and incredible powerful videos.

Yes we can only hope for a similar landslide across the country… But perhaps they will announce big budget spending just before they announce the election. Perhaps any announcements on housing will have to be outdone by Labor and the Greens… We may even have a competition of who can make the best promises on housing 🤞

And they still haven’t even called an election!

Thats us! There’s no shortage of things to change about the world though.

Great to hear you’re out lobbying your local politicians @Wendy. Let us know how it goes! Was this ‘toolkit‘ useful? Do you think Ken Wyatt would be interested to meet as well, he used to be the Minister for Senior Australians. Hope you ‘have luck’ 😉

Great idea, we could make an ‘invite tile’, what should it say?

We can also invite people by email – by going to your ‘profile’ in the top menu, then clicking ‘send invites’.

Great to see some news coming on the back of the At Risk forum.

But as @penny-pengryffyn says “There is a lot of talk, and no actual action”

Hi, I’m really sorry to everyone who had trouble accessing the Zoom meeting on Friday. All the videos are now online here, if you weren’t able to make it I hope you can catch up and keep the conversation going on this forum.

Great to see you at the forum today. Its such an important message that housing is a matter for EVERYBODY and EVERY level of government. We need federal investment, but we also need people like you to come up with their own solutions and not have local government get in the way.

Very sorry about the trouble, I hope you’re all succesfully in the meeting now

See you there in a mo!

Hi @missybb thanks for sharing your experiences, sounds like really tough situation you’re in right now, I’ll send you an email to see if our Housing Support  team can be of any help

Thanks Karen. I really like this idea, I love living in sharehouses myself, and without the precarity of renting, hope I still can when I’m older. I suppose this Homeshare model would usually involve an older homeowner sharing with a younger renter? Definitely seems like it could be a win-win for many people. But if the roles reversed and older…[Read more]
