Why

The Minns Government has announced the demolition of the Waterloo South public housing estate.

NSW Labor's Chris Minns, Rose Jackson and Ron Hoenig are following on from the Coalition's plan to force 1000 people from their homes in Waterloo, reduce their perfectly liveable homes to rubble and build 3000 mostly private apartments.

In a housing crisis, demolishing public housing is like trying to stop a flood with a firehose.

Join Waterloo and Glebe public housing tenants at this speak out from 5-6.30pm as part of an ongoing campaign to Save Waterloo and Defend and Extend Public Housing to solve the housing crisis.

Speakers include public housing tenants from Waterloo, Glebe and South Eveleigh, Paul Keating (MUA Sydney Branch Secretary), Timothy Blofield (NMWA Westmead Branch President), Jenny Leong (Greens Housing Spokesperson & Member for Newtown), Harrison Brennan (Sydney University SRC), Kristin O’Connell (Antipoverty Centre), Rachel Evans (Socialist Alliance), Andrew Chuter (Friends of Erskineville) and Gong Miller (Community Union Defence League).
