State housing property becomes rubbish-filled health hazard
A Department of Housing property in St James, Perth's south-east, has accumulated piles of rotting rubbish in its backyard for months, creating health concerns and distressing neighbours along Albany Highway. The state-owned social housing property has been left unattended with no sign of the tenant for weeks, while more than 23,000 applicants remain on Western Australia's social housing waitlist. Neighbours have complained to the Department of Housing about the smell, rats, and public health risks, with some offering to organise a community clean-up themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for…
