Show Notes

The Housing Minister believes homelessness data can be hard to analyse as there's no one-size-fits-all description.  

The Government's June Homelessness Insights suggests communities countrywide are facing more pressure, with people living on the streets.  

Councils and support services say rough sleeping's increased everywhere, doubling by some measures over 24 months.  

Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking homelessness has been a lasting issue, and deals with complex issues.   

He says sometimes it encompasses challenges that include mental health, addiction, and family violence.
