Caboolture's tent cities: Queensland's homelessness crisis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 мар 2024
- Tent cities are springing up across the state including in Caboolture, North of Brisbane. As thousands of people drive past the D'Aguilar Highway what they might not realise is there are many sleeping in tents.

125000 immigrants in January alone, with no new homes. Labor has betrayed working Australians.
Immigration is part of neoliberal capitalism. Immigration isnt the problem.
@@zip-tv_ a million people in a year with nowhere to live isn't a problem. Wow. Just wow.
@@morganoox3838 the neoliberal system is flawed. Look at the US. We are merely following the same path. We need a 3rd party.
They've been betraying them for 70 years. They prefer to import foreigners than help their own people.
imagine blaming the immediate problem and not looking at the root cause such as lack of housing in the first place.
Australia has truly lost its way. 43 billion (plus) in mining royalty's for 2023 and where does it go? Government mismanagement.
Every Australian should be disgusted. Shameful.
Totally agree, we should be a rich nation, instead we're broke and living off borrowed money.
Interesting how that's roughly the amount that the white Aborigines are demanding every year despite the fact that they're not giving it to their mates in the bush .
Voice, Ukraine, Hamas, unregulated immigration, woke WEF agendas the list goes on.
All goes to Israel
It’s gone to Palestine.
Not the Australia we grew up in, or want
The comrades in Labor want this... _keep them poor and starving._
Just look up "School of Frankfurt" to see how socialists operate.
Gee everything does not stay the exact same century after century who would have thought. Not the 1920's Depression either.
@@stultusvenator3233 no the 1930's depression is coming and will be here before the end of 2025 but the auspol will find a way to make a great depression look like a recession and pull the fleec over the sheeps eyes

Well you certainly have had the wool pulled. Clowns like you have said this kind of garbage for decades.

That was always a worthless BS throwaway line.
And the reports that cover up for government? Let's make it clear they know exactly the real story. 4 years a 150k education to lie and cover up corruption 💯💯🤡🤡
My son and I were homeless for 7 years and in that time our government built 237 homes for Sudanese who'd just arrived in our community.
Of course I'm a white middle-aged heterosexual male, so too bad, eh...
@vinnyBolona, I hope you are safe. What a disgrace our government is.
@@CoraJane-ef3xe yes, thank you for expressing concern.
So entitled
Someone hates us. This is aimed at all European peoples.
@@thetarotboganYes, you are right - thats what the politicians say to these complaints. But normal people always look after their family and friends first - that is your responsibility. A nation's responsibility is first to its own people, then to outsiders.

Meanwhile, a Sydney MP just bought himself a nice new $12M beach front holiday home.
I haven't fact checked this myself however I have heard mention that, on average, Federal MPs own around 14 investment properties each. Please don't try to tell me that they didn't see this coming. The greed of some is just appalling.
Wasn't it early last year labor was bragging what great landlord Albo was for not increasing the rent on his Sydney apartment worth 10 million. See on the news a few days ago Albo claims $310 a night for living away while he stays at the lodge and Kirribilli house all staffed and paid for by the taxpayer. There is a whole heap of them that own or have family own property that they claim living away allowance to stay in when at parliament.
Under socialism they're greedy ! Communism worse
@@craigshugg2332
Not just Albo all politicians have their snout in that trough. (and good on him for not raising the rent). I have had 17% 2 years in a row barley hanging on.
Australia has 750,000 new immigrants in the last two years.
This is a consequence of bad decisions by government.
900 thousand in the last 12 months 😔
The picks no watt they are doing. 🤐
That's what the aborigines said 200 odd years ago...."What goes around...."
they want oz to be third world status instead of making everywhere else first world. this is GLOBAL progress of equality in the eyes of the rich. its only just begun my friends. they know what they are doing. look deeper and this is all part of the "kalergi plan" to intermix all european countries with other races. the "jews" see whites as their biggest intellectual threat.
While they're stopping boats, the planes are coming in, with a larger capacity, it probably is quantas, My sister in law is 100% filipino. 😊she was so slim when she arrived had no kfc.
Something not right. No person in Australia should be forced to live like that!
Government dog's
We need an enquiry into why overseas born landlords can charge so much money for very basic accommodation and why they're allowed to get away with all the scams they do . Then we need to start building housing for normal people not these estates where a couple will be paying the bank back for the rest of their life not just 20 or 30 years

I’m a truck driver have been for 32 years and in all that time I have never seen people living in tents in rest areas and parks and cars as I have the last 2 years , that tells me something is very wrong with our country and governments this isn’t the Australia we know because l these people don’t choose to live like they are
@scottjohnston4392 Powerful post and observations from you here. Thank you 👏 Your eyes do not lie. Without being conscious of it, you've been collecting weekly data for your state since 1991. Please continue to report what you see in these forums. If you had the time, a statement like this to your local MPs (State and Federal) and a copy sent to the local paper is always some worthwhile activism. * If we say nothing, They think we don't notice * Cheers mate.
Well said mate, I am also disturbed by this. It’s got to change. We need another political party with a new direction
Some LNP types say they are all on drugs and choose the lifestyle. Won't just go and get a job.
@@stultusvenator3233They say that about poor people all the time and then hire said poor people to clean their multiple houses.
Labour let 120’000 migrants in to Australia in January alone its a fu
This problem has been brewing for decades, libs didn't built any social housing last 10years and you blame what happened last year. Keep on whinging and see where that takes you. It wasn't 120,000 it was 500000, Australia on average give skilled visa to 250000 every year, except for COVID year. Failure to do that there is less revenue for the budget, less productivity there less GDP and money to spend on social issues like housing. We are not going to have your dumb self turn into a neurosurgeon...are we? Get a grip fool.
Poor Aussies are becoming homeless because we keep letting in skum to this country and prices keep increasing its going to get even worse
More like a million so far this year alone an one last year an more to come
@@KipMplaylists Just a matter of time before words turn into actions.

We watch shows like The Block doing renos so the rich and shameless can buy them. Why can't we do the same for the less fortunate in our society?
Read the Bible.
It'll give you your answer.
I'm not religious it's just that a Christian society is meant to be like this and that's why it is.
You'll hear it more and more, Christ is coming.
Probably because they would make a big deal out of giving one family a home and then another million are going well what about us ?
I really do dispise The Block, what an absolute waste of time.
Go buy some land. *Own it completely, then try and live on it.* You will be harassed and fined, then they force themselves onto *your land,* followed by eviction from the land *you paid for,* and pay rates on. Even if you can demonstrate you leave the place clean and habitable. So where can people go, but onto the streets. *Or become enslaved ,to a dream that they can never obtain.*

Stop overseas migration until we catch up with housing.

Australia is a very wealthy country. This is absolutely shameful! The governments past and present should be ashamed of themselves 😒
Why am I paying 48% tax if the government is not helping our citizens? 🤬
Build 300,000 social housing homes now!!!! Support and help the citizens of Australia.
This is heartbreaking 💔😭
Grubberments are more worried about sending tax payers money to wars that have nothing to do with us to keep their virtue signalling heads held high. And spending the rest on unnecessary referendums and pushing un and wef agendas.
Should be a wealthy country, not is a wealthy country. Useless grubs in Canberra sold it off to China and now living on debt up to our eyeballs. As well as letting Mining Billionaires make billions selling our resources whilst paying FA taxes in Australia.
This is a lie. You are paying a lot more than 48%. Who told you 48%? Did you sum up income tax, GST, stamp duty, alcohol, import tax and corporate tax, superannuation tax, fuel tax, ute tax, clothing tax (although those last two to come)? Because essentially you pay for all of that with each product you consume. Also I remember seeing fees on investors for rental properties. I just can't remember where but those are born by renters despite being on investors.
wealthy as a whole, but divided into haves and have nots. The gap widens day by day.
@@jeremystonell690lol, ute tax was just another lie from Scummo. People won't take you seriously when you include BS in your effort to point out some truth.
I've never seen so many homeless people.
My husband, myself, our 5 and 3 year old were homeless for 8 months. Lost my job during covid, husband had his hours reduced.
Nothing in our price range.
I am so grateful to have the place we are living. We are safe for the next 3 years even if money is skin tight.
I hope things get better, but I think it'll get worse.
Hi Holly. Sorry to here about your difficulties. It's getting more an more difficult and I agree the future isn't looking any better. With chronic heart failure and some other health issues living on the street would be a death sentence for me. I'm barely holding on at the moment. One more jump in rent or power and I'm done I think. Scares the c4p out of me constantly.

Good to see ya. Best regards to you and your family.
I was homeless even before it got really bad. it's just so disgusting they won't build cheap houses everything has to be a new estate with properties that no one can afford and will be paying back the bank all their life
it was a renters market for over half a century in N. America. Now it's a landlords market, and cheap money saw an opportunity, and the expense of seniors, children, and lower incomes. These suits should be ashamed. All over the world. Yes, it's going to get worse for awhile, probably not out of this in my lifetime.
@@user-zf3xb3qx8w it's never been a renters market in Australia. It's why after WWII a lot of government housing was built.
Government housing made up around 7 percent in 1991 now it's about 4 percent of housing.
Home ownership was about 40 percent in 1947 to over 70 percent in 1960's.
So in Australia it's been a home owners market and still is.
@@James-kv6kb yes commision housing used to make up about 7 percent of housing in 1991 and now it's just 4 percent.
They are selling to estate builders/developers.
So many areas that were blue collar are now affluent areas. Areas no one even middle income would step in are now gentrified.
Why I understand things change. The thing is cheaper areas aren't being built to take on the shifting demographics.
Just 10 years ago the area my mother lives in had was working class and not a great reputation.
Now it's upper middle class or higher.
I thought when all those apartments towers being built it would have reduced rental prices.
Did the opposite because each of the two bedroom apartments went for the same price as house rent.
So house rental prices went up.
I knew as soon as they started doing up the parks, cleaning the paths and planting trees it was no longer middle income any more.
Albanese needs to go, and stop letting non-australian citizens renting out, australian citizens have a right to live in peace, if immigrants weren’t allowed to rent or buy housing here, we wouldn’t be in this
Lol lib/Nats gov walked us into this mess over a 10 year period. Albo literally walked into a dumpster fire.
Yes we would be, immigration is just part of the issue.
40 years ago Jobs were predominantly full or part time now jobs are predominantly casual - 40 years ago we still had a manufacturing and farming industry - 40 years ago the majority of Australians were not an aging population - 40 years ago people were allowed to raise a family in shacks with no services.
Oh and 40 years ago nana and grandpa lived with the working adults and kids.
Also, i work for a company that gets all the rentals in town, and then they rent it out to the islanders and PNG people. So unfair
@@alyssaoconnor and 40 years ago, international "investors" weren't able to buy up all the housing, arable land, PORTS! (N.T.)...
Our goverment is a corrupt as it has ever been.
This country is nothing in comparison to it's former glory.
The Aussie spirit is being flushed away and replaced, ever since "multiculturalism will be our strength" in the early 90's - late 80's.
It's an absolute disgrace, set up now in such a way that battler's are falling behind, while "refugees" who bring their problems with them, are given hand out after hand out.
Absolute effen disgrace.
My wife and I both work, I'm part time and on a dsp. We've been priced out of the rental market. We're currently just scraping through after a unaffordable rent rise start of 2023. I've sold my good 4wd and bought a old rusty bus, slowly as my health/body allows trying to get it liveable to keep a roof over our heads. It'll be ours and they cannot take that from us.
I feel for those that have had to set up tents to survive this.
I know a lot of people doing something similar. One that I know turned their ute into a liveable home. Crazy times...
Sad story. But meanwhile our penut priminister is letting thousands of immigrants in to Australia. Wasting millions when we dont even look after our own. This joint is F&$ked!
Yes because we need Doctors, Nurses and Engineers NOW!!! I know because im filling this need NOW and we just cant get qualified Aussies into positions. Right or wrong this is the current state of our workforce.
@@alexphotoman
Many qualified people were pushed out of job's due to forced medical procedure mandates.
@@alexphotoman Would be nice if the 100's of 1000's were actually skilled labour to fill those positions.
These whingers, you have never been to a farm to see how much labour they need to produce the food you eat. Yet you expected food at woolies. You go to hospital, how many " Aussie" doctors, nurses , surgeons do you see. If you weren't lazy and dumb then there would be no need to import skilled labour
@@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641yeah right. Stop being lazy and work.
So sad to see. And worse still are the a-holes who think it's ok to torment people living on the street 😢 One day it might be them.
So true, bad luck can happen to us all.
Exactly. Anyone can become homeless.
You'd be surprised how much it happens... homeless ppl are always getting fkt with by randoms for no reason. Most ppl are just savages.
Kama is a *****, and the type of "person" who would find that sort of thing entertaining, is the exact demographic most likely to find themselves living under a bridge in their old age.
Dont worry. Labor is solving the problem by bringing more people into the country.
Labor's replacement voters.
@timhinchcliffe5372 Yep, that's the reason Labour has allowed 500,000 immigrants into Australia in the past year ....that's the population of Tasmania. Most of these new arrivals are so grateful they'll automatically vote Labour. What a scam! And most Australians haven't even made the connection!
The government should be ashamed of what they have caused. Australian families living in tents whilst immigrants are flooding the country and are first un line for housing. Im embarrassed to be Australian these days and fear for the future of my children. 😢
737,000 migrants came to Australia in 2022/23 (these are the official Australian government numbers). This is an absolutely ridiculous number of migrants to bring in during a housing, homelessness and cost of living crisis. Migrants looking to take advantage of economic prosperity which they and their ancestors didn't contribute to yet they force Australians on to the streets so they can pursue their financial dreams. It's a brutal, cut-throat, money-centric country we live in now. Australia is the most resource rich country in the world. We have the largest gold reserves, lithium, iron and coal reserves in the world yet we have hundreds of thousands on the streets with a relatively small population (although the small population will soon change as we've brought in 1.25 million immigrants in 2 years).
funny how there were no tent cities before the government shut everything down and people lost their jobs ,i drove all around Briso and the sunshine coast
Mass immigration is responsible for this. Albo will go down as the PM who destroyed Australia.
Politicians, look at this, tell everybody it's ok,it's not your fault, this is qld 2024,
Enjoy your easy life, keep cutting ribbons, and smiling on cue for the photo shoots
Anthony Albanese’s legacy, record tent cities throughout Australia. What a disgrace
You on the sunny coast?
Population growth is Destroying our bushland , everything is rip off ,
Yup. Albanese = peanut!
Seems the leftist legacy is rampant drug use, crime and homelessness. They need to crumble the existing system, subvert it and build their own out of the ashes.
That means destroying the family unit, attacking the Church and God, making children state property and having both parents to distracted with work and bills, removing private ownership and essentially freedom. The new generation will know no better and will be raised and indoctrinated by the state. They'll be turned agaisnt their parents and elders. They'll be Godless.
The most influential and intelligent people pull the strings and they don't make mistakes. Especially not on so many simple fundamentals. They play a game of chest using government and politics, media, education, war, disaster market manipulation and more to obtain their goals.

The rental offices around my area have pushed out locals in favour of people coming into country - what kickback do rentals get from housing migrants rather than residents??
Africans get frist 12 months paid to land lord by federal government on top of bills paid.
Government gives them subsidies. These new immigrants won't even pay half that rent. My guess is they own or are partners in those rental properties.
also because foreign money its a new income stream into the economy, govt loves new money coming in that costs them nothing to obtain
@@3minutesofglory700lots of this, some from South Africa and a lot I presume from China. If you look at what's happening to China atm it shouldn't surprise anyone that the wealthy are fleeing in droves. Also India with the recent deals Albo made.

As a single parent, i pay $680 / fortnight for a small, old modest house w 2 bedrooms and sunroom , 3 hours south of Brisbane. I work 16 hours per fortnight in a nursing home, i had to stsrt claiming pension to homeschool my daughter dur to her health issues. Trouble is, i want to work some more hours but if i do, centrelink swipes my entire pension, so im left with not enoughto survive.. If i work full time and forget about the pension, i have no time to raise two kids on my own and homeschool my daughter. There is no one else to look after them. Why, oh why, wont the government just allow me to work a few more shifts and not swipe all my pension so i can be above the poverty line? Why???!! Why does it feel like life is a constant punishment if you're poor? Im one more rent raise away from a tent. Yet this is a rich country!
It’s done on purpose to keep you subservient to the system. Keep you under the thumb so to speak. They’ve got you right where they want you, poor, and dependent on them. I feel for you.

@@James-kv6kbA Vietnamese investor just bought the unit (Infact the whole block of 6 units) where my son and myself had been living for 14 years. They even gave me notice to vacate the day before Christmas. I've seen 4 other landlords come and go but they had always treated me with consideration as I've always been a good tenant, taken good care of the property and always paid rent on time. These Aholes couldn't have cared less, they wanted to renovate to "maximise profits". I tried negotiating, I even ended up begging him to not throw us out in the street. I met this creep once when he came to do the final pre-purchase inspection, he and his agent came through my home, no introductions (I had to force an introduction), the buyer (I usually refer to him as 'Saigon Sam') never looked me in the eyes and I was essentially ignored, as though I wasn't even there.
I've recently been diagnosed with a serious lung condition from my time in the Navy and had been working with the the wonderful people at the RSL. The RSL came in to bat for me but all for naught, he couldn't have cared less.
I got lucky and managed to find a place but it's ridiculously expensive and in a pretty crappie neighborhood, but it's a roof over our heads.
👍🇦🇺
I've also been homeless for over a year. My money quickly dwindling away on overpriced AirBnbs because every rental application is rejected, and during that time I've lost everything I own including my car. Scavengers pick at your bones from all around, including government. I didn't receive a couple key pieces of mail from the state government as I had no address and now I've apparently racked up penalties for an unpaid fine when someone took my car, and I received severe beatings from QPS workers over it. I can't afford to even get to a court to protest this, but I know that being arrested and going to prison is free , and it costs somebody else a lot of money. I could seriously live happily on a property the size of a parking spot, but no such option exists. I'm not eligible for any kind of welfare, even though I've got no income and very little left. But I'll do what is necessary to protect myself, and stay alive. That which is necessary is legal. My conscience will be clear, and I am righteous before the Lord.
🙏❤️☝️ thoughts and prayers my friend
There's caretaker positions on farm's out here quite often in central QLD. A day or 2 of work for trade of a cottage. I'd look down that route if you can still do a bit of work. Book in to see a social worker at centrelink, they're much better to work with for your situation.
Your 'LORD' has looked after you well by the sounds of it!
@@ronaldov09 Gee, never saw that coming! So staged not funny
Praying for you 🙏❤️
Sunnybank in Brisbane has many houses that are owned by foreign investors and are deliberately left empty for years on end. They buy an already established house and then pull out some internal walls, maybe cut holes in the concrete slab etc. They then get someone every few months to mow the front grass and cut down some trees to make it look like someone lives there. Then the house just sits there in this state of disrepair for years and years on end. Makes me think there is a loop hole or something in some Australian Government foreign property ownership policy that allows them to buy an existing property and do stuff like this. There are at least 6 homes within a 300m radius of where I live where this has been done and most of these houses have been empty for 5 + years. Imagine how many other houses are like this Australia wide? And while all this is going on Aussie battlers are left sleeping in tents.........
Yes, Sunnybank. The ccps investment property haven. There’s a house in my mates street that hasn’t had a tenant since being built 25 yrs ago, they didn’t even bother with a driveway.
One word sqaut
Chinese parents of students studying in Australia are allowed to buy property in Australia
So basically they pay council taxes et cetera just to own an empty dump ?
Some of the older homes in Brisbane are heritage listed or demolition controlled. You can't knock them down and build a new house or block of units unless the house is completely rotten beyond repair. So the house sits there, not being maintained and decaying away until it is too far gone to be saved.
The government should be ashamed if themselves. We are the PEOPLE
not really, they will just blame the previous government or pass the buck to other regional governments.
We are in a 2nd Depression.
We as in middle to lower class... Rich and those in parliament have never been richer...
The modern version of the Swagman.
Unofficially and not declared for some reason 🤔🤔
I bet the international kids that go to Caboolture's new university aren't living in tents... but hey, that's not the university's problem right, they only have to worry about all that cash they get from them.
Actually, I know some university students, not foreigners, and they reported uni students are living in tents too. Prices for uni student housing is basically all the centrelink income (so about $700+ per week) for two students for one room/bathroom and you need parents to send you money for food. Truly insane...
Not surprised. I predicted this decades ago. Cost of living outpacing wages growth....what did you think was going to happen? And how has it gotten better under Albo? how? I've stopped voting at elections....they're all the same.
100%
I only vote to avoid the penalty but otherwise it's really just a decision between 'printer go bur' or 'printer go bur'. The currency and living conditions in Australia are doomed now.
India, Bangladesh, China, Burma no Australia.
They are Labor's new voters... it's a formula that works in the UK, Canada, the US, etc. The White working class are going to be in for a shock after voting for this all these years.
Very sad Labour or liberal governments who have power must stop immigration for 5 years and don’t take any humanitarian visa at least 5 years until our country gets back to normal again unfortunately others parties doesn’t say anything when they go to Canberra suddenly they will forget about pensioners peoples rights
The Australian government is absolutely fuckingdisgusting, make no mistake about that !
The wake of their neglect is EVERYWHERE.
If you have a job earning seventy or eighty grand per year in your rental house and the land lord says get out for whatever reason, where are you going to go ?
There’s no more rental property available in Australia.
Do what you can to help others 👌, shitsreal and sometimes reality sux.
We don’t have much to spare and if you do maybe share a little bit with someone you’ve never met and probably won’t meet again 🙏.
Easier said than done but if your in a position to help a worthy person or family then give it a thought 👌.
What's more, is when living in a rental home it is forbidden to allow other relatives in need to come and stay with you.
@@rosered3919 correct but 🤫, I had my two daughters and their six children collectively living with me and my wife and my youngest daughter so no one was homeless.
Getting away with it as I’m in a position to do so.
Renting private with minimal interaction with landlord so we are all surviving.
The struggle is real for sure.
Stay strong everybody 🙏.
Exactly. I moved back to New Zealand for 86% of that reason
Maybe one solution is for all universities to be responsible for housing overseas students in their own dormitaries/units.
And who is going to pay to build those dorms?
Universities could easily do it, they have soo much land available. See Griffiths or UQ. The amount of profit generated is immense with international fees of $100k for a year for some students.

You have to have work experience to get a job.
Always have.
You had to have references to rent, always have.
Unless you get a cash landlord like I had and then you get treated poorly.
That's life, it's awful.
Why do people even have children.
So the misery continues?

While these poor people suffer the Labor Government spend up big, on themselves. Carrying on like pigs at the trough. The Labor Party is a far cry from where it began. Australia is broken.
Don't Give in ....or They will have Won !
I have lived in Brisbane north side for over 50 years Born in Brisbane and have never seen it like this, the only ones who are on top are the southerners who sold there properties for a fortune came up here and bought 2 or 3 properties, and this goes back to 2003 , good for anyone that had their own home , in 2004 most average houses jumped in value by $200000 but now houses have jumped another $300000~$500000 and in some cases more , so with that value ,owners with rental properties up their rent , nothing more than greed, and price the average renter on low incomes out of the market , our kids are the ones who will suffer trying to get into the market, doesn't matter who you vote for it all leads to the same thing Disaster
If people had voted Labor then negative gearing would have been phased out years ago
I've lived in Qld my whole life. In my street, a house in 2016 sold $360000, now it's up for sale for $1million
I never thought anywhere in Australia would get to this when i was a boy. We only have Cant's like Albo and the Greens to thank for this state of affairs. They are not interested in humanity! Just their ops to see Taylor Swift in concert.
This is in Queensland! Remember Anastasia saying Queenslanders have to look after Queenslanders. She failed state 😢
Is this even Australia anymore - what has happened to our beautiful country and its people 😢the great Australian dream is exactly that now just a dream for so many Aussie’s 😢
When I was a kid Caboolture was sugar cane and pine forests it got big fast
It's insane how fast it has grown even over the past 5 years. Real estate prices are skyrocketing as we speak.

They bring all they money to Australia. That's what happen now. Shame of albenese. He should be leaving on the street.

Australians need to make way for all the international students coming in looking for permanent residency.
It’s almost like the current Federal Government want this to happen…
There are Tent an van camps all over South east qld been like this since Covid even if you can afford a rental There is 20÷ groups at every rental inspection its becoming a really serious problem that needs attention from the government ASAP
They caused it so how will they fix it??
It needed attention 20 or more years ago, and the can keeps getting kicked down the road. I don't see things changing.
Negative gearing is the problem.
It’s just heartbreaking.
Govt offering “investment visas - $1m, now $1.5m is often spent on houses, this greatly contributed to the housing shortage and high rental prices. It’s suspicious that our former prime ministers became paid consultants to China.
Says it all really.. selling out the lower to middle classes of Australia so the Government can get some short term 💰
I grew up in Caboolture/Morayfield in High School. We had it tough,.my Mum was divorced with 3 kids. We did not have much, however, watching this makes me realise we had it all. Each everyone of us had it all and we gave it away, piece by piece to greedy corrupt politicians and corporations. I never thought this would be anyplace near possible in what I once knew as Australia
This shouldn’t be happening in a so called first world country. All MP’s should be ashamed of themselves.
they want oz to be third world status instead of making everywhere else first world. this is GLOBAL progress of equality in the eyes of the rich.
This is happening because we're not allowed to have a go at the landlords cos most of them are from overseas and apparently that's not politically correct despite the fact that they're charging ridiculous amounts of money for the hoveles they call accommodation
It's not just an Australian thing it's happening in all capitalist countries. Housing should be a human right. Not something to be profited from. This was always going to happen. We are just at the pointy end now.
The housing crisis ain't as bad in NZ but is bound to get worse. They build 12000 new social housing but unless your 3rd world migrant you won't qualify for housing assistance
Thancks penny and albo 2 billion 300 million in tow weeks over seas
And it's borrowed money!
Imaging borrowing money to send overseas. Absolute idiots running the country.
Borrowed money also , what a joke
I was in Caboolture 10 years ago and this was starting back then
IM CURRENTLY WORKING IN KARRATHA WHERE A 180 MILLION DOLLARS LEAVES THESE SHORES EVERY DAY ! UP THE ROAD PORT HEADLAND $380 MILLION DOLLARS LEAVES THAT PORT EVERY DAY !

We left Redcliffe QLD because we just couldn't afford to live thereany more after 20 years. We are now living with family in NSW. Never has living in Australia been so bad😢..really feel for them. Government needs to get out of the fancy office and go to see how hard people are living. Heartless governments.
Queensland premiers keep rewarding all their close friends with millions for causing despair and misery.
And We Give Billionares Billion$...
For Free...
Not to mention immigration at 760,000…
We gave the Clinton foundation half a billion in cash for nothing . Half a billion
I suggest we voice the concerns to prime ministers official channel under his name Anthony Albanese PM. I don't think he reads the papers by the look of what he has done to Australia
This is truly heartbreaking... the cost of rentals are insane! There is no way anyone can afford them anymore.
The housing crisis in not new or novel, it happened in Wales where rich Londoners were buying up the cheep houses in Wales and pricing the Welsh out of housing. The Welsh addressed this problem with extreme measures, every time they got wind that a Londoner had purchased a house in Wales, they would burn the house to the ground. That where the saying 'come home to a burning fire, buy a place in Wales' came from. Hope it doesn't come to this here, but extreme circumstances call for extreme measures.
you have the government to thank for this. They keep bringing in people give them housing and australians miss out
same in UK - its insane - all part of our governments ‘masterplan’
I just want to point out as I was also homeless for 2 and a half years in Queensland. About 60% are from New Zealand who actually travel to Queensland to become homeless bcse the weather is warmer and the nz government actually suggest the unemployed homeless go to Australia and try to find jobs . This takes up our resources like charities to look after them. It’s wrong! And they shouldn’t be allowed to travel to Australia with no money and just a backpack. The Gold Coast is literally full of NZ homeless on the foreshore and in parklands. It shouldn’t be our problem
New Zealanders are more likely to be employed than Australians, They are more likely to be entrepreneurs. They are much more likely to pay more tax than they get in services. On top of that, there culture is almost identical to ours.
The current crisis is a result of record immigration from other countries, who do get jobs and buy/rent houses but force the unemployed or low paid Australians out of housing options. And plenty of these immigrants have different cultural values than we do.
It is entirely the result of ALP policies. It would be a wrong to make the old mistake of trying to blame Kiwis.
How can they find jobs when employers ignore their applications? It happens to Aussies too.
@@davexb6595yawn 🥱
@@davexb6595 New Zealand is a completely separate country to Australia. Nz ppl shouldn’t even have the right to free access let alone job access and homelessness in Australia. Try getting employment in New Zealand as an Australian, it’s not going to happen. Too many nz ppl with no skills taking up employment as non Australian citizens, and they are the majority of non Australian citizens in prison out numbering every nationality. Don’t think you would appreciate hundreds of thousands of Australians going over to your country New Zealand looking for employment and sleep in parks
@@biggils8894 My country is Australia. And that is not the only thing you are misinformed about.
1. "Nz ppl shouldn’t even have the right to free access" - access to what? They don't have access to benefits. However Australians do have access and can even vote after just living in NZ for a short time.
2. "Try getting employment in New Zealand as an Australian.."
I have several mates who have gone to NZ and got employment there and one who has been employed there for many years. Aussies get automatic workers rights on entry to NZ. As do Kiwis on entry to Australia. You could not be more wrong.
3. I am an employer and to be frank, in general Kiwis are better workers and actually want to work. Plenty of employers would prefer to employ Australian citizens but if you have no skills you need to be willing and keen to actually work There are several employers in my town wanting untrained workers but there are not as many Australian citizens willing to work. Half the time, instead of applying for the job it is their mummy or daddy applying on their behalf. Some older citizens are willing to work. In the middle there is a gap which is filled by non citizens because not enough citizens want the work.
4. A large percentage of these "New Zealanders" in prisons, actually are a product of Australia. They came here as young children and have lived here most their lives. They have gone off the rails as a product of Australian society.. They are about as Kiwi as a Wallaby. but anyway, if they end up in prison for 3 months then they get deported when they get out so it's not really an issue.
5. Australians going to NZ get better treatment over there. They aren't living in parks because they are eligible for assistance. Whereas Kiwis coming here are not eligible.
And I repeat New Zealanders pay more taxes, open more business and get less from the government than the average Aussie. They are a net benefit for Australia.
In any case, we just imported 550,000 more people under the ALP. The vast majority are from other countries than NZ and the majority are from very different cultures - with different values. We are absolute fools to alienate Kiwis while importing hundreds of thousands of people every year, who do not share our values.
This is a monumental tradgety. Thank you for reporting. I literally had no idea this was happening on this scale. May YHVH bring relief according to His will. Shalom.
Come look at Port Wakefield Road, Adelaide. Homeless tent city.
This is outrageous
Very sad! Government needs to step in now and help this poor people more than ever before!

The government would never have to live like this 🤬
I was Born in 1944 in Nottingham uk.. as a kid walked or on an old bike cycled everywhere...all ove Nottingham .. I never saw anyone homeless.. maybe a couple of Tramps we use to call them.. SO how did Britain and Europe house so many displace people after WW II... ?
It's not really an issue of housing people. It's red tape and laws. The government has literally made it illegal to live in vans, tents or multiple people from the same family in the same house without approval of the landlord. To build a house it costs about 50k in approvals and stamp duty. 300-400k in land. This is first and foremost a government bureaucracy problem. In addition to that, they also limit timber supply. If you think we live in a free market economy you are joking yourself. This is communist Australia.
So how did Britain and Europe do it that was the question..@@jeremystonell690
This is a world wide problem btw,it's much worse OS...the Governments needs to wake up and get some low cost housing ,instead of building luxury apartments that people can't afford,🤬
Labor and the Greens are fully aware of what they are doing.
Im almost at the point i would rather live in a tent then keep paying rent i work a full time job and im always under financial hardship.
And the paid 6million for fireworks in Sydney and Melbourne and Brisbane 10million plus...rest of Australia probably the same...😮 how can you condone such waist of tax payers money for a 10 minute splurge...when people are struggling like this...😠not good...
It's Albo who has turned the other cheek to well, everything! Shame on Australia for letting this happen.
Started while the Failed Morrison Govt. was in. Albo just inherited his stuff ups and no care factor.
I once thought that this would never be me. Now, like many nowadays I'm not sure.
Its going to get much much worse.

Disgraceful that this happens in our country .
There are 1400 homeless in City of Moreton Bay in 2023. Too high. I see many camping on ground near Caboolture Library quite regularly and it is increasing. They come up from Brisbane on train.
Well done to the Australian Labor Party. The plan is coming to fruition perfectly.
This is scary that it's happening in Australia. It reminds me of skid row in America but on a very small scale.
