Friday morning humour---a Leunig cartoon:
Leunig
The homeless are now a permanent part of the Adelaide CBD--especially the Adelaide parklands as this provides a space for them, especially Aboriginal people, to pitch a temporary camp until they can access emergency housing. Often a small tent city becomes established--the latest was near the Victoria Park racecourse--- and there is often an itinerant community in the West Parklands.
If homelessness has been increasing over time in Australia, it is also a serious population health in that the extremely poor health experienced by homeless people represents the severe end of the spectrum of poor health from inadequate housing and health hardware.
