They said the decision was based on documents that cannot be shared with the Court because they are Cabinet documents and therefore cannot be released.  The Judge has paused the trial to decide whether the documents should be produced in Court and considered as evidence in the matter. The class action documents can be found on the Supreme Court of Victoria's website. What happens next and what do you need to do?IMCL will return to Court before the end of the year to argue the documents the decision was based on should be included as evidence in the trial. Once this issue is decided, the trial can resume. This means the timeline for the trial has been extended and we will not have a final decision until next year.Residents do not need to leave their home for now.The Judge has ordered Homes Victoria to not send residents eviction notices to make them leave their homes because the trial is still underway. Public housing residents can contact IMCL for free legal advice on (03) 9328 1885 or by email at info@imcl.org.au.Services overwhelmed as 3 million at risk of becoming unhoused, says Homelessness Australia report - Monday 18 NovemberA new Homelessness Australia report has found more than a 60 per cent increase in risk of homelessness since 2016.

We also discuss the predatory and exploitative nature of retirement and rental villages.  If you're an older Victorian with a housing issue, you can call HAAG toll-free on 1300 765 178 or visit their website: www.oldertenants.org.au N.B.

    This week is energy week! Zeb and Kevin speak with climate change activist David Spratt about a lack of climate solutions worldwide since his co-authored publication Climate Code Red: the case for emergency action,14 years ago. They discuss:- the upcoming "non-climate climate election"; the irony of how climate issues have dominated federal leadership changes for the past several years and yet neither major party wants to talk climate policy.- recent carbon offset whistleblower Professor Andrew Macintosh, former chair of the Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee, to denounce the carbon market, with a report that 70~80% of carbon credits are "markedly low in integrity". - how the carbon market's degeneration into this rort of nonviable schemes (such as carbon capture and storage) trickles down to the collective conscience of consumers, whilst allowing companies to emit more in the name of money- how these corporations "should be paid to clean up the mess, but right now they're being paid to make the mess", with the last financial year showing fossil fuel subsidies equaling $19,600 each minute. Not only does this encourage more pollution, but also is a reflection of how much money the goverment has to spend.- the false panacea of the electric car with precious metal extraction required for batteries not quite the ethical or environmental solution under a system based on eternal economic growth- lack of forward thinking policy for Victorian Government approved developments when it comes to sea-level projections and more...David stresses that climate change is not a technological problem, but a problem of political will, since we are stuck with two major political parties with deep connections to the fossil fuel industry.

    This week on City Limits, Zeb kicks off the show by interviewing Dr Reden Recio, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Melbourne, on the topic of informal urbanism, giving us an overview of the multiple practices through which individual citizens and groups produce urban spaces, and how informal urbanism intersects with state processes in urban spaces across the global south and north. They also discuss his research with the San Roque informal settlement (of approx 9,000 families) in northern metro Manila, Phillippines; the San Roque community's pushback against the Philippines National Housing Authority's plans to remove all informality in the area to make way for a new CBD hub, a move toward incremental coercive eviction by the NHA, the work of the Save San Roque alliance, and how bottom-up grassroots practices can effectively challenge formal structures and processes in cities.Check out the Tinig Maralita ("Voices of the Poor") website for stories and videos direct from informal communities and individuals living and working in Metro Manila.Later, Kevin and Zeb interview Jeannie Erceg and Margaret Kelly, residents of the Barak/Beacon estate in Port Melbourne, yet another target for public housing sell-offs under the Victorian state government's Big Housing Build.They discuss the thoughtfully designed and cared-for homes which are already in excellent condition, with unhappy and confused residents receiving rushed surprise notifications of their soon-to-be-demolished residences, and being asked either to relocate or change to a private "community" housing provider. Also discussed are the real effects on individuals in the transition from a public to a private (and problematic!) "community" housing system, the importance of their close-knit community in the context of public housing, a glaring lack of governmental transparency or consultation with residents of the estate about their plans, and the Victorian Government spending the least on housing out of all states and territories in so-called Australia.  Sign the petition to save the Barak/Beacon public housing estate here.
