***MEDIA ALERT*** WA Votes: voters to quiz federal politicians on housing

Everybody's Home < 1 mins read
As Western Australia’s housing crisis reaches unprecedented levels and becomes a key federal election issue, Everybody's Home is hosting an online town hall with WA Senators and MPs to discuss their vision, solutions, and priorities today, Wednesday 19 March.

The town hall offers WA voters and sector organisations an opportunity to ask housing questions and engage directly with politicians from across the political spectrum before they head to the polls.

This comes as the national housing campaign launches its Priced Out report, revealing that virtually no region in WA is affordable for people on low and middle incomes.

The report finds that Northern WA, Perth, South West WA, and the Goldfields region are among the most unaffordable areas in the country, where even six-figure earners would have to spend more than 30% of their income on median unit rents.

WHEN: Wednesday March 19, 12pm Perth time (AWST)

WHO
  • Member for Perth and Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman
  • Member for Curtin Kate Chaney
  • Senator for Western Australia Jordon Steele-John
  • Everybody's Home spokesperson Maiy Azize

With health a key election issue, the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) held focus groups with Australian nurses to identify their concerns in primary health care. The message was loud and clear: nurses are underutilised, undervalued by the health system, and not respected as highly skilled healthcare professionals. Barriers holding them back Funding models prevent nurses from working to their full scope of practice. In particular, the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) continues to prioritise general practitioner-led care. "There are so many things that we could do for patients," said one nurse practitioner from South Australia. "There are so…

Stairway to jail over GST fraud

A Melbourne man has been sentenced to 2 years and 11 months imprisonment after obtaining over $390,000 in fraudulent GST refunds and attempting to obtain a further $330,000, as well as failing to comply with a court order. Acting Deputy Commissioner Kath Anderson commended the latest outcome under the ATO-led investigation Operation Protego. ‘There are no ifs, ands or buts here – if you don’t run a business, you don’t need an ABN and you cannot claim GST refunds. This is fraud,’ Ms Anderson said. ‘Fraud against the ATO is not tolerated and we continue the fight against criminals seeking…
