I see your point, but if your bedroom is portable and you put it where there are a thousand cameras are known to be going past it (phones and dashcams), I don’t think you could reasonably assume any level of privacy.
On the other hand, if your intent is to raise awareness of the plight of people, putting your portable right in people’s faces is a great plan. I wonder how a tent embassy on the steps of Parliament would go?
The thing about camping there is that there IS a lot of camera coverage. Reduces bullying and theft and personal assault of the homeless. The bloke who sleeps outside the 7-11 by the Collins St/Spring St tramstop goes there for that very reason. He reckons if you’re out of sight, then there’s no protection from random bastards of the general public. He has a point I think.
Haven’t seen this so central before. Full on tent set up
Lol how would you like it if someone took a photo of your bedroom and posted it on the internet? Hm? /Jk 😅
The homelessness is getting worse, it’s plain to hear and see.
As long as housing is treated as an investment, rather than a necessity and a human right, it will continue to get worse.
Edit: jk

What? It was a joke, like, I was joking because yeah it’s in public.

Tone is hard online I thought U were semi serious too 🤷♂️
Omg. I just basically said the same thing without reading this first. Lol

Mmm fair. I wouldn’t have if I could see anyone I guess, and it felt like quite a… thing… to share.
This picture is haunting. For lots of personal reasons. Jesus.
I’ve seen a full-on LA-style encampment under Princes Bridge.
