    Federal Election 2022 Wrap Up - Part 1

    Join Reality Bytes Hosts:  Desley Casey and Susan Pavlic as the discuss some of the results of the Australian Federal Election held on 21st May 2022. The ALP (Australian Labor Party) won the election, however, to date whether the new government is able to govern in their own right or govern as a minority government is yet to be determined (Thursday 26/5/2022). Desley and Susan discuss: Labor's win as the governing major party. Some of the federal electorial seats, i.e. Lyons in Tasmania and Gilmore in NSW are still too close to call.  (Latest update is that the sitting Labor Member for Lyons, Brian Mitchell, is maintaining a small lead.  In the seat of Gilmore, the Liberal Candidate has the slimest majority of just over 100 votes ahead of Fiona Phillips the 2019 - 2022 Labor MP. A correction we must make is that to date Peter Dutton (mentioned about 7 minutes into the discussion) has as yet to be elected as the leader for the Liberal Party.  Our understanding is that at present he has put his hand up to lead the Liberal party however to date the election as leader as yet has not happened. Uluru Statement of the Heart Anthony Albanese, now Australia's 31st Prime Minister And, so much more.

    Michelle - Community Housing Tenant

    Reality Bytes hosts: Desley Casey and Susan Pavlic, interview Michelle a NSW Community Housing Tenant. Saturday: 23rd April 2022 at 4pm. As a community housing tenant Michelle has experienced a broad range of dramas to do with her tenancy and attempting to have a broad range of housing maintenance issues addressed by the community housing provider. For the purposes of anonymity Michelle's name has been changed; where she actually resides has not been disclosed and the name of the community housing provider has also not been given. This interview was pre-recorded just prior to Easter. Issues Michelle discusses include however not limited to: Ongoing flooding issues which is causing a range of potential structural problems for the dwelling. The tardiness of the community housing provider as a landlord to address all maitnenance issues speedily and effectively. The moisture levels in the home which is now causing black mould to appear on various skirting boards and walls. And, so much more. Community Housing Tenants have the same rights and responsibilities as any other tenant, yet many community housing providers (like the one highlighted in this live/podcast) point blank refuse to undertake maintenance and repairs in a timely manner which results in tenants living in sub-standard accommodation and having their tenancy threatened if they dare to riase their voices.
