As of end of Jan there were 1.1 million kids whose parents now face having their payment cut and potentially being forced into poverty. Cabinet decided that was ok. #80aDay
On a horror news day, this has brought me some joy: we’ve now raised over $40k to keep ppl like Stephen housed & supported. The WA government may have abandoned these people, but the community won’t: https://t.co/ePh97YDouM
Despite repeat WA government promises, more than a dozen people are still in the hotel they won’t pay for. Stephen is still there, for one, and a few weeks respite from WA’s homeless crisis has done him a power of good. Donate to help Stephen stay strong https://t.co/ORcKFU62Bq
mark mcgowan is heading for an election landslide in a few weeks. you can use that kind of popularity to lift people up; be bold; make history. or you can use it to crush people to make an example of them. homelessness shouldnt exist in WA, so what the hell is happening here?
Currently, there’s still 20 people stranded in this Perth hotel — which the WA government isn’t paying for.
Until every single person in this hotel is housed, we need to keep supporting them. Please donate to &/or share the fundraiser: https://t.co/yC6rJiTIoY #HouseTheHomeless
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you all so much for donating to our fundraiser — and keeping these people off the streets in a time of extreme crisis. Your generosity is changing lives every day #HouseTheHomeless

But it’s not quite as simple as that. While some families have been accommodated in other hotels the government say they’ll keep paying for, others have slipped thru the cracks...*again*
Sorry for the quiet time - it's been an intense couple of days. On Wednesday arvo we had a big win - the government *said* they would house everyone who'd been staying at the hotel they wouldn't pay for https://t.co/Rofq3luJQ8
This means that, once again, we are coming before you asking to help us do the WA government's job for them and *keep the most vulnerable families in WA safely sheltered for another night* THANK YOU SO MUCH

Who booked the rooms? Who cares? The government owes families without homes far more than a week in a hotel, and they won't pay for that either...

On the day homeless residents are due to be kicked out of the hotel, the media has rocked up.
In the absence of any aid from @MarkMcGowanMP, the community has now raised over $7k to keep them off the streets: https://t.co/WQxBdwkAh7 #WhereDoWeGo#HouseTheHomeless
Thank you all so much — this is incredible! You’ve leapt into action & given us all hope when the Premier gave us none. With your help, he won’t be able to ignore us https://t.co/ORcKFU62Bq #WhereDoWeGo#HouseTheHomeless
Here’s Aunty Geraldine (with her beautiful little dog): “if I wasn’t here I’d be back on the street...wanting to know if we were going to be housed”
Please help her stay another night at the hotel. Donate here: https://t.co/ORcKFU62Bq
