The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has found 176,000 households on public housing waiting lists.
The new Federal Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek says she is shocked.
After asking around, I think the shock will be even greater when she realises that these lists only show people who have been filling in forms for years and not the total number of those on low-incomes needing affordable accommodation.
I mean, whoever thought that we would need homeless shelters here on the North Coast?
Yet it is becoming a reality of life in the Lucky Country.
