The Victo rian Labor Government announced the demolition of all of the state's high- rise public housing towers in 2023, and despite strong community resistanc e and a Parliamentary Inquiry that calls for an immediate halt to demoliti on works, it has continued with its plans to tear down the buildings and d isplace more than 15,000 Victorians. The government intends to lease much of the land on which the towers sit to private developers for as little as $1 a year, while many Australians can barely afford housing as rents and interest rates sky rocket.

Punks for Public Housing is your chance to get involved in this fight by meeting people from the groups fighting t he demolition, or just by coming along and having a boogie. Doors open at 4pm and you want to get there early for a chance to win a huge range of pr izes in our raffle. Tickets will only be available on the night.
