\n\t\n\t\tHungry and desperate, a 19-year-old made a decision that landed her in court. The young person stole a packet of cheese from a local store because she was hungry and couldn\u2019t afford to buy it. It\u2019s important to consider the circumstances of this offending. Homeless and with no parental support, this young person is facing challenges that many of us can\u2019t even imagine. The court imposed a $100 fine in the hopes it would deter the young person from stealing again. This is a crime of necessity and desperation made by a person who would have felt they had no choice but to steal in order to survive and avoid starvation. This is a reality of homelessness. \ud83d\udd17 www.thewest.com.au\/news\/geraldton-guardian\/homeless-19-year-old-caught-stealing-deli-cheese-from-...<\/a>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t...

\n\t\n\t\tThe stats are in for the 2024 rental affordability in Australia.The bottom line is that the rental market has never been less affordable. These statistics reported by Anglicare Australia show that it is all but impossible for an Australian on a low income to find a rental property they can afford. Anglicare states that our governments are choosing to leave Australia in crisis and that they must change course to ensure that everyone has a place to call home.To read Anglicare\u2019s rental affordability in Australia report, click the article in our comments \ud83d\udcce\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t...
