HOMELESSNESS

Notice of Motion

Hon Alison Xamon gave notice that at the next sitting of the house she would move —

That this house —

(a)  expresses its grave concern about growing rates of homelessness in Western Australia;

(b)  recognises that the WA Labor government’s initiatives and announcements to date are wholly insufficient to address this crisis; and

(c)  condemns the WA Labor government for failing to take a whole-of-government approach to homelessness, acknowledging particularly the failed intersections between homelessness responses and WA police, transport, justice, mental health, and alcohol and other drug services.
