Kristin O'Connell: How to end homelessness
Saturday Feb 10, 2024
Saturday Feb 10, 2024
Homeless people are dying more than 30 years earlier than the general population, a new Guardian Australia report revealed. It found homeless people are dying at an average age of 44, compared to 77-years-old for the general population.
The Guardian reported that many of these deaths were “directly connected to the trauma and desperation of homelessness, and compounded by the vast waits for emergency and public housing”.
Meanwhile, the waiting lists for public and social housing continue to grow, with almost 60,000 people on the waiting list in New South Wales alone in October last year.
Successive state governments have greenlit plans to demolish public housing sites. The Victorian Labor government is pushing ahead with its plan to demolish 44-high rise public housing estates, despite a big pushback from tenants and housing experts.
Antipoverty Centre spokesperson Kristin O’Connell spoke to Green Left’s Isaac Nellist about the desperate need for investment in public housing and other solutions to counter worsening poverty.

Busting the Myth of "Israeli Democracy"
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Israel claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East. The reality is different. Israeli democracy is based on Zionist indoctrination; racist citizenship laws; and a supremacist "Jewish" state in which Palestinians are treated as second class.
This episode features talks given at a Naarm/Melbourne forum hosted by Green Left on January 30 by Nachshon Amir, anti-zionist Jewish activist and former Israeli Defense Forces soldier, Palestinian activist Mai Saif and Meredith Lawrence, member of Socialist Alliance and the Loud Jew Collective.
