The Greens renewed their call for urgent action on homelessness in Australia today after new figures showed a 17 per cent increase in the number of homeless people in Australia in five years.
Australian Greens housing spokesperson Senator for Western Australia Scott Ludlam said this morning's ABS Census figures reinforced the fact Australia has been in the grip of a housing crisis for years.
