Homelessness in Victoria is escalating, with the Mornington Peninsula seeing a growing crisis and the recent deaths of some of our most vulnerable serving as a tragic reminder of the urgent need for action.
One Nation Victoria Leader Warren Pickering and Mornington candidate Ashley Beards have announced a plan to tackle homelessness and deliver safe, secure accommodation for those who need it most, along with a path for long-term stability.
Our policy commits to:
• Redirecting every dollar of the short-stay accommodation levy into housing and homelessness services.
• Delivering crisis and temporary accommodation, including domestic violence shelters, using identified Crown and council land.
• Working with NGOs and community organisations to provide ongoing support and wraparound services.
• Trialling land tax exemptions for landlords to encourage more properties to enter the long-term rental market.
• Establishing a Housing to Work pathway to help vulnerable Victorians rebuild their lives, return to employment and regain independence.
We will also demand transparency and accountability over how housing and homelessness funding is spent.
Every Victorian deserves a safe place to sleep, the dignity of a home and the opportunity to rebuild their life. It’s time for action, not more broken promises.

Labour has delivered housing but to immigrants instead of Australian citizens

What about CBD? I've been begging for safe housing for 13 years. I'm physically unwell suffering 2 cardiac arrests recently, epilepsy, blood clots in my lungs and more. I'd love to get back to work a little bit or volunteering. Regardless, you have my vote. Thank you.
