Participating in their 2nd Vinnies CEO Sleepout

One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference

In 1922, my grandfather, Roly Stebbins, was born in a tent. More than a century later, some Australians still live in tents, under bridges, and in cars. Some of those who are homeless are fleeing family violence, while others – like Roly’s father – are veterans. Still others have a roof over their head, but live in unstable accommodation or overcrowded homes. I’m doing the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise the profile of homelessness, and raise money for St Vincent De Paul’s homelessness services. Please help me to support their vital work.

Hi Andrew, Thank you very much for sacrificing a comfort night at this event. I really respect you very much. Housing in Canberra is getting too expensive...I saw 8 people share one toilet house despite Canberra has the best human rights protection jurisdiction in Australia. Regards Ana

Supporting the Sleepover for the Homeless. Can we please prioritise a solution found for the problem of people sleeping on the streets, and the shortage of affordable housing. Have we considered salary payment to people who identify as homeless that allows them dignity and encouragement? Dorothy Mackenzie.

Please Andrew. Centrelink is not enough to live in. Labor must do something to ease this crisis. How can people attend interviews with no roof over their heads, no money for transport, no shower facilities, no healthy food. It's not good enough for a Labor government to ignore this.
