This is the single greatest article about squatting I have ever found in a mainstream media source. I mean, it’s not really “about” squatting, but it’s squatting related. Basically, the Housing Commission sent out wrecking crews to destroy the former Glebe estate squats in the early 90s. But they weren’t as careful as they should have been with little details like which houses were squats, and which were privately owned. Oops.

i have a 10 year old son who sleeps with my partner and i sleep in the loungeroom of my caravan and annex i am finding hard to go to the amenity block to shower and toilet as i have a bad back that i may need surgery on i know of plenty of empty houses in my area and of people being housed before me i have had enough i am thinking of going to the papers to put a complaint in.
