Councillors ultimately voted 9-2 in favour to move forward with the plan, despite hearing over three hours of testimony last week of people being intimidated, harassed, and violated by security guards, as well as concerns about expanding the city's security camera network and limiting protest rights. In this segment we heard from a young person on not feeling safe at home, a First Nations person on racial disparities and ongoing impact of colonisation, and a worker from a local breakfast program.// Voter Preferences and Housing CrisisHousing researcher and urban geographer Dr Alistair Sisson spoke with us about a recently published report analysing how Australian voters' understandings of housing crisis relate to voting preferences. The report, 'Housing and the 2025 Australian Federal Election: Between Crisis and Inertia', which Alistair co-authored with colleagues at Macquarie University, details how people across age, tenure, and political lines understand the crisis: renters and younger voters see it as an affordability emergency, while older homeowners focus more on immigration and supply.// Save cohealth Emergency Town HallAn emergency town hall meeting to Save cohealth was held last week on Friday in Fitzroy, where attendees shared their serious concerns about the closure and rollback of vital health services.

This follows our interview last week where we spoke to local councillor Sophie Wade about the impact of the end to GP services in Collingwood, Fitzroy and Kensington, and the closure of cohealth Collingwood in June 2026. cohealth services some of our most margianlised community members, and a general lack of bulk-billing services and cuts to hospitals and health services will leave almost 12,000 people to deal with the consequences.

More MPs and longer parliamentary terms have been deemed key to modernising a decades old electoral system. Fresh New Zealand Initiative research found 30 years on from the introduction of MMP, our parliament is in the need of a four year term and 50 more members. That would take the Parliament to 170. Report author and Senior Fellow Nick Clark says MMP has delivered fairer and more representative parliaments. But he says these changes would create better balance between members and the executive. Clark says right now there is a huge number of ministers compared to members, making it harder for MPs to hold those ministers to account.
