22.01.2022 We're all 'hanging out' to see what direction the Morrison LNP Govt's budget will take us. The ABC examines the Jobseeker situation and the impact of "snapback".

22.01.2022 Almost 45,000 Western Australian families live in social housing across the state. Lack of investment in the repair and refurbishment of the housing stock means... that the homes are ageing, inefficient and needing upgrades. Social housing is twice as likely to be uninsulated, and less than 4% of rentals have solar power or solar hot water systems. In a state like WA with ample sunshine, this doesn't stack up. That's why we are calling on the WA government to create 3830 jobs for small businesses to retrofit social housing with solar and insulation to reduce running costs and deliver healthy homes for families in need.

16.01.2022 Recent changes to the law in WA mean that imprisonment for non-payment of fines can only be used as a sanction of last resort, and only on orders of a Magistrat...e. The new laws also introduce Work and Development Permits for debtors experiencing hardship affecting their ability to pay their fines debt. Legal Aid WA can help you if you are experiencing hardship and cant pay your court fines.

12.01.2022 Have you accessed services for a substance use problem in the South West? Have you had a substance problem and not accessed... services or help? Have you been impacted by COVID-19 in accessing services for your substance use problem? Would you like to share your experience of accessing services in the South West? Researchers at The Rural Clinical School of WA invite you to participate in a project looking at the experience of people who are attempting to access, or have already accessed, services and professional help to manage a substance use problem.

Any person considering participation in this research project, or agreeing to participate, may raise any questions or issues with the researchers at any time.

12.01.2022 Rich getting richer and poor slipping further back, with youth inequality growing fastest, ACOSS says

05.01.2022 Meet Jonathan Shapiera who has experienced homelessness. Right now 9000 Western Australians are experiencing homelessness with 1000 people sleeping rough each... night. Through building 15,000 new, low-carbon social housing homes we can create 58,500 shovel-ready jobs - tackling the recovery crisis, the housing crisis and the climate crisis all at once. We are grateful for the support of Make Renting Fair WA, WACOSS, the Energy Efficiency Council, ASBEC, Shelter WA, Access Housing and Renew who were consulted in the development of this package.

02.01.2022 Family and domestic violence is a scourge on our community, and it is essential that our laws work to protect victims and reduce rates of violence in our State.... Im proud to say that our Bill to reform Western Australias family violence laws passed State Parliament overnight. It represents the most comprehensive family violence law reform package ever introduced in Western Australia. Our understanding of family and domestic violence is continuing to evolve, and these changes will help our laws keep pace. One of the key changes is a new specific criminal offence for suffocation and strangulation, which we now know is an important risk factor in the context of family violence. We know that a female victim of strangulation is seven times more likely to be the victim of homicide, compared to other family violence victims. The legislation also includes a new specific offence for persistent family violence, in recognition of the reality of family violence for many victims, where the perpetrator commits persistent and ongoing acts of violence against them. We are also enabling courts to declare a person a serial family violence offender, which will make it easier for the courts and police to identify such an offender and mitigate against the risk of reoffending. Other changes include new aggravated penalties for offences that commonly occur in family violence circumstances, making it easier for evidence of family violence to be introduced in criminal trials and requiring police to record every family violence incident. These reforms are the result of years of hard work from our States first ever Minister for Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence, Simone McGurk MLA, and our Attorney General John Quigley. Over the past three years, our Government has shown our commitment to stopping family violence and changing the story for victims with a series of legislative reforms. These reforms are a vitally important change for Western Australia, and they will help to save lives. But I can promise you now our Government will not stop working to reduce the unacceptably high rates of family and domestic violence in the community.
