There's nothing like a street count of the homeless to bring home the point that Australian state and federal gov's are failing us. In a country two thirds the size of US and with only 23 million people, to have anyone homeless is a pathetic effort by those in power.
Currently there are more homeless in Sydney City than there's been since 2011. Each one of these people has a story of how they got there.
But don't worry SSJoe and Tone, you lot are fine eh. All those entitlements aplenty, and booming property prices because of gov policies....
Street counts aim to collect accurate and up-to-date information about the number of people sleeping rough in the local area. People occupying beds in temporary shelters and homelessness hostels are also counted.
People living in boarding houses, staying with friends or living in other forms of non-secure housing are not counted. No information regarding the specific location of rough sleepers is published. more
