Everyone deserves safe, secure and affordable home.

But the Labor government is demolishing all 44 public housing towers in Victoria, displacing over 10,000 residents, and handing this land to property developers to build expensive private apartments.

Residents of towers in Kensington, North Melbourne and Flemington have just been told their homes are next on the chopping block. These buildings house mostly older residents, some of the most vulnerable in our community.

This will make the housing crisis worse.

There are more than 125,000 Victorians on the public housing waitlist. But Labor has no plan to rebuild any public housing on these sites at all. Instead, the majority of this public land will be handed to property developers for private profits, with only a small amount of privately-run ‘community’ housing added on.

A report has shown that refurbishing the towers rather than demolishing them would save the government millions. But private developers are keen to get their hands on this inner-city land, and Labor is giving it to them.

My Greens colleagues and I are fighting to stop the privatisation of public housing, keep this land for public housing, and build more public housing. But we need your help.

Sign the petition to demand Labor stop the demolition and privatisation of public housing.
