40,000 Aussie Youth Practicing Advanced Hide-and-Seek Without Housing
KEY POINTS
- â˘Approximately 40,000 Australians aged 15-24 are homeless yearly, facing extreme housing challenges.
- â˘A new report from the Home Time Youth coalition highlights only 3.1% accessing long-term housing.
- â˘This data coincides with ongoing national political leadership discussions dominating media attention.
Each year, around 40,000 Aussie youths aged 15 to 24 perfect the art of housing invisibility as they live without any place to call home, according to the Home Time Youth coalition. Only a microscopic 3.1% miraculously accessed long-term housing, proving that access to roofs is basically limited edition merchandise. This shocking statistic uncovers what could be Australia's unofficial national sport: surviving without shelter. The report waxes poetic on the epic housing quest while everyone else watches political liveblogs about Labor, Liberals and the usual leadership drama. Because when you have 97% struggling just to find a bed, national leadership challenges seem almost luxurious.
