Public housing residents and supporters joined a Defend Public Housing picket in Ultimo to call on the New South Wales government to urgently build more public housing.
More than 50,000 people are on the public housing wait list.
The picket was organised by Action for Public Housing and Hands off Glebe. Supporters signed postcards to send to housing minister Anthony Roberts.
The picket also called on the NSW government to cancel the demolition of the Franklyn-Bay street complex in Glebe.
[The next picket is on July 21 at 5pm on the corner of Bay Street and Broadway in Ultimo. Get in touch with Action for Public Housing to help out.]
