Show Notes
Anthony Ashwood, a 56-year-old disability pensioner, has been living in his van for 18 months due to homelessness and soaring housing costs. High diesel prices have made it difficult for him to maintain his van as a home, leading to food scarcity and isolation. Nationwide, nearly 8,000 people have turned to vans for shelter, with fuel price spikes exacerbating their struggles. The government has implemented temporary relief measures, but advocates call for more substantial social security hikes to address the issue.
