5 Days of Action on Housing Affordability‏

And so it begins... 5 days of action

With your help, we’ll start by getting the attention of MPs around the country. We want to make sure that their ears are finely tuned to the issue of housing affordability for the rest of this week.

Your task today is to call your local Member of Parliament and engage them in a discussion about house prices and high rents.

We want you to speak freely about your own experiences and opinions, but for those who want some pointers there are some discussion starters on the document attached here.

To help you find the relevant contact information, you can download a list of MPs by following this link.

If you are not sure which electorate you live in, you can find out through the Australian Electoral Commission website.

MPs can be very busy, so they might not be available at the time that you call. If that happens, you can ask to leave a message saying that you called to discuss the housing crisis request a call back at a time that is more suitable.

If you do get to have a meaningful conversation with your local member, we’d love to hear about it. Please email us at info@housingstressed.org.au

Cheers,
Joel

P.S. It’s not too late to encourage your friends to join in! You can forward this email and encourage them to sign up for the rest of the week at http://housingstressed.org.au/
