Tasmanian community service organisations are pushing for a levy on vacant homes, which they say will help ease the state's housing crisis.
Twelve organisations — Anglicare, Community Legal Centres Tasmania, the Council on the Ageing, Hobartians Facing Homelessness, JusTas, Shelter Tasmania, the Tasmanian Council of Social Service, Tasmanian University Student Association, Tenants' Union of Tasmania, Women's Legal Service, Youth Network of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre — have written to Premier Jeremy Rockliff asking for more action to address the housing crisis in the short term.
