At the request of Senator Lines, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that Ruah Community Services has coordinated Perth’s third Registry Week, held between 8 February and 19 February 2016, with teams of trained volunteers surveying rough-sleeping homeless people, with the aim of providing the sector a current snapshot of who is homeless in these areas and what are their needs;

(b) commends the City of Perth, the City of Vincent, the Town of Victoria Park, the City of Kwinana, the City of Rockingham, the City of Joondalup and the City of Wanneroo for their participation in the survey; and

(c) condemns the Abbott-Turnbull Government for its inaction on homelessness and affordable housing.
