Given Australia's housing crisis, which is significantly impacting renters - cf. e.g. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... - i wonder at what point we'll start having rent strikes here? [ cc: @rahunion.bsky.social ] #auspol #housing #renting

This change means shared labour, more support, and way more shared knowledge. It leaves 28 potential positions open for members to step up and lead. We're a member-run union, and our future is truly in our own hands. A massive thank you to everyone who voted, this motion passed with 100% approval!

Renters and Housing Union @rahunion.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

From now on, every Office Bearer role in the union can be held by two people. And in any shared role, one of them must be a woman or gender-diverse person. This is a direct move to tackle burnout and push back against the patriarchy we see everywhere else.

We say NO to privatisation! We say NO to mass displacement! We say NO to social and ethnic cleansing! We say NO to the further commodification of housing! March with us from the State Library to Homes Victoria, then onto Parliament! Stand with us and fight for what’s right. Your voice matters.

This privatisation agenda only benefits developers, leaving the rest of us to face higher rents, fiercer competition for rentals, and lower standards for our most vulnerable communities.

Government crackdowns on democracy have become more and more obscene and violent in recent years - pretty soon the only way to have a voice is to buy a petition or risk heavy oppression.

If you're someone who believes in the right to protest, or you're not ok with the status quo, lets fight for our fundamental democratic rights before we lose them.

URGENT CALL OUT - DEFEND PUBLIC HOUSING IN NORTH MELBOURNE **7am Tuesday, June 3** 33 Aflred St, North Melbourne Homes Victoria have commenced demolition work on public housing towers in North Melbourne while residents are still living there. Join us on the picket. Stop the demolition.

graphic which reads :

We won today but residents are still under threat! We need you to join the community picket starting tomorrow!

Residents have asked our community for support in resisting dangerous drilling works seemingly intended to drive them from their homes.

These works represent both a danger to residents and the beginning of the demolition for the towers.

We can’t let them take a finger or they’ll take the whole hand. Invite your friends, get involved, do a little even if you can’t do a lot.

We cannot address the symptoms of this issue, we must stand shoulder to shoulder, and fight to address the root cause of housing insecurity. p.s. this starts in the home, revolution begins in the kitchen sink. Men: take up the kitchen sponge and do those dishes! 🧼 #IWD #IWWD #Feminism #M8 #March8

We cannot allow “protecting women” to be used to justify violations of sovereignty, and the ever consolidating police state. Together we must resist the NGO-isation of our movement, create systems that are not tied to state funding, and ground our movement in Feminism. #IWD #IWWD #Feminism #March8

This is especially poignant when we consider women over the age of 50 are the cohort with the greatest risk of homelessness. In 2020, The Conversation reported that nearly 400,000 women over the age of 45 in so-called Australia were at risk of homelessness. #IWD #IWWD #Feminism #M8 #March8 #Union
