	September, 8th, Thursday from 11:45am at the steps of State Parliament. 

	 

	 

	* The State Government has failed to deliver on promises for genuine accommodation to our Streeties during the CHOGM
	   - they have underscored the number of homeless peoples affected, they have in effect lived up to Rob Johnson's comments in parliament that "we'll give them a blanket and tent and they can sleep under a bridge" - they expect the homeless to come to them, they claim there are only 30 homeless folk in the CHOGM zones, this is not the case as in an hour we can give out 100 small lunches in these areas to our Streeties
	* State Government continues to neglect Homelessness in its budgets
	* HOMELESS FRIENDLY CITIES AND TOWNS
	   - drop in centres, safe spaces, treatment facilities, laundries, transitional accommodation
	* OUR HOMELESS FOLK WILL NOT JUST BE SWEPT OFF THE STREETS DURING THE CHOGM
	   - we will keep government to its 'promises' of 'interim accommodation during the CHOGM' and we will demand that it become permanent accommodation
	* The Homeless Folk to be included in the State Budget
	* Public Housing funding and waiting lists to be prioritised - 25,000 WA applications for public housing with waiting times now between 2 and 7 years.
	* Vacant public housing to be filled.
	* Justice for all.
	* And a FULL PUBLIC APOLOGY, in all the media, by Police Minister Rob Johnson and the Premier, Colin Barnett to the Homeless Folk for their reckless and discourteous comments and disregard.
