A Victorian council faces backlash over its plan to remove homeless people from a public park, with lawyers labelling it a potential human rights breach.

"We're engaging with everyone that presents to us and we're mindful of the confidential nature of the work we do through our rough sleeper program," a spokesperson said.

She said Haven, Home, Safe was the port of call for the long-term campers and it was not the council's role to help them find houses. Residents at Huntly Lions Park said they had tried to engage with Haven; Home, Safe, but had not been successful in finding housing.

Plenty of housing for the incoming visa workers !!

Perhaps the 'ashamed' ratepayers should do something about it. Instead of wanting taxpayers to foot the bill.

If I lived in that area I'd invite them to set up in my backyard & then they could have access to a hot shower. What do you reckon ashamed ratepayers? abcnews auspol

Crown land should belong to the people instead of the government. Should be able to camp anywhere.

Pathetic

Welcome to Australia, a third world country with a mining industry and not much else.

'Housing service'.

Society seems to promote its concerns toward mental health however when it’s time to really support & tackle the problem of those in difficulty, this is the real world how to deal with suffering, 'get rid of it!'

Go to a caravan park and stop free-loading off ratepayers.

And where are they supposed to live, they do have rights you know. How heartless.

Councils run more like the Chinese government's. atm the little dictators only make things worse

What sort of sick and twisted kind of tyrannical dictatorship is this state. To do this after Dans lockdowns totally destroyed so many peoples lives. This psychotic behaviour needs to stop right now.

They should approach a hospital mental healthcare unit because they'll get food and accommodation free others do why not.

Take a look at the USA and see the homeless camping on the streets. These people need proper shelter and accommodation. Plenty of churches sit empty most of the week

Any ABC folks got holiday-homes to share ?

They should be appropriately housed. They are in effect being told they are not wanted by society, being thrust asunder from the place they call home.

Imagine the social housing they could be living in, if it hadn't been earmarked for incoming Afghan fakeugees
