This week, the Legislative Council referred a new matter to the Ombudsman – an investigation into the experiences of residents who have been required to relocate due to the demolition of public housing towers.

The referral requires the Ombudsman to examine the relocation of residents from public housing (owned by government) into community housing (managed by not-for-profit agencies), considering impacts on utilities, access to fair rental policies and security of tenure, as well as residents’ mental, social and physical wellbeing.

Imagine forcing a woman and her kids out of their home just before Christmas! She just asked for a bit more time to spend Christmas at home and then relocate. Shame on NSW government and the heartless Rose Jackson.
