Brisbane City Council workers have sparked outrage for disposing of tents supposed to help house the city’s homeless community just days after they were given out. It’s believed five tents were recently removed by council officers at Cathedral Place.
Brisbane City Council officers accused of throwing away tents given out to help the homeless. Northwest Community Group president Paul Slater, who organises and distributes supplies to those experiencing homelessness, told 7NEWS he had spoken to the council who confirmed “they’d thrown them into landfill”. Software developer Rohan Pyne who is now homeless says his tent is his “sanctuary”.
