In fifteen days, the state government withdraws all funding from tenant advice services in the state even though they’re funded mainly from the interest generated on tenants’ bonds.  Luckily the Federal government has stepped in to provide emergency funding until the end of June next year.  The Federal Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs have been working very hard to get funding sorted out before the state withdraws its money on October 31.  The state government’s withdrawal of funding  like imposing an additional tax on tenants.  We still have an argument to win to get back tenant bond interest for tenant services, but thanks to the Feds at least we’re hear to run it!
