I, and also on behalf of Senator Cameron, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

  (i) according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the most recent statistics from 2015-16 show that 275 requests for homelessness assistance were unable to be met each day, and

  (ii) the Government has failed to raise real levels of federal funding for homelessness services and social housing in the 2017-18 Budget; and

(b) calls on the Government to provide real support for people who are homeless by increasing the real level of funding for homelessness services and social housing.
