Kevin Andrews MP - Shadow Minister for Families Housing & Human Services June 22nd 2010 (4.15pm) Canberra, Australia
This petition calls upon the Government to immediately provide assistance to homeless Australians by providing them with specially made emergency relief Backpack Bed (swags).
To date. Swags for Homeless has not received a single dollar from either Federal or State Government. Our world attention efforts are only possible through continued public donations. We are unpaid volunteers.
From June 22nd the Federal Minister for Housing (Jenny Macklin) has 90 days to respond to this request.
This is an election year. This is what politicians "may" call an announcable and deliverable.
42 charities in Melbourne city alone hand out the life saving Swags for Homeless - Backpack Bed™.
Charities agree our humane emergency relief helps the most needy of needy - those that sleep on the street.
Let us hope that the Australian Government can inspire other countries around the world to provide homeless turned away from shelters with life saving dignity - in the form of a Swags for Homeless Backpack Bed™.
The proven success of Swags for Homeless can be replicated around Australia - the world.
This is why countries and charities around the world speak with Swags for Homeless.

Charities are screaming for our help
- the demand outweighs our donations.
Ex-Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudy highlighted that 80-90% of homeless are turned away nightly from some shelters.* However, 100% are turned away from 98% of towns around Australia - simply because there is no solution.
Does the Government have a crisis homeless plan for this winter . . . NO.
Salvation Army, Mission Australia, St. Vincent de Paul, Uniting Care, Rosies, Ozenham, Hanover, Sacred Heart Mission + over 30 other charities around Australia agree our famous Backpack Bed™ (swag) is an effective and dignified interim crisis measure.

How needy do they have to be ... they sleep on the street. Mercy.
