In the days when the government cared about and worked for its people instead of feathering their own nests with public money.

Housing Tasmania has kept so many people from homelessness and impersonal share housing ... it should be lauded as a great success. However ... time has taken its' toll on this public service. Todays' politicians should be forced to watch this video and produce a (very 8th grade) 900 word essay (public domain) about their vision for Housing Tasmania over the next decade. Anyone who fails to produce a reasonable essay should be shamed for their failure, and those with good ideas be mandated in law as filtered by our Senate. Rant over $0.02

The irony is those inner city “shacks” are now probably worth three or four times the housing commission homes.
