It is the AGM of the Manawatu Tenants Union on Friday 30th of this month at 12.00, Community House King Street Palmerston North,everyone is welcome to attend.
The housing crisis has been the big story this year and will be the the big issue in the September election,so make sure you vote.
Politicians ,for the most part have failed to address the big issue of housing,the lack of state houses,affordable rents in the private sector which controls the rental housing market in this country. Homelessness is now a fact of life and should not happen in a country like New Zealand we just have to build more state housing as future generations will not forgive us,their start in live will be much worse than the start we had.If nothing else think of your children and grandchildren who deserve better than what is being offered at present,homelessness.
There is a real sense of social injustice in the wider community that central government policies have failed to meet peoples housing needs. The fact that at present motels are being used and in some areas bought to house tenants tells us,that there is something really wrong with the present housing policies. It should be noted that very many politicians are private landlords and are out of touch with the daily grind of their tenants,some are really out of touch with the lives of average New Zealanders.
Don't forget the AGM this Friday at 12.00 come along and be informed about the real housing story.
