It’s a stark reminder that homelessness isn’t a fringe issue—it’s a mirror held up to society, reflecting how thin the ice really is beneath our feet. One economic tremor, one medical bill, one rent hike… and poof—the safety net vanishes.

Here in Australia, we’re watching families become car-dwellers under the weight of a cost-of-living crisis that our political leaders—across all parties—seem more skilled at ignoring than solving. It’s not just unfair; it’s un-Australian.

So bravo for making the invisible seen. Art like this doesn’t just move us—it should move us to action.

Now, the million-dollar (or should I say, rent-stabilizing) question: How do we fix this? Because compassion without concrete solutions is just a beautiful sad song. Let’s turn the melody into momentum.

Life isn’t fair—but maybe, just maybe, we can vote, build, and care our way toward something better.

Thank you for your kind words and your thoughts on the problem, Izzy [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
What we can do is vote for genuinely social parties (if there are any left), try to raise awareness of the problem, and help the people around us.
