This epic tour has come to a conclusion, and the $56k raised is a reflection of the concern and care my incredible audiences have for their communities. I want to thank every one of you for coming along to the shows, donating if you were able to and for connecting with the organisations. My hope is that the tour has opened some new relationships within communities and prompted some further discussions about the state of housing and of social wellbeing in Australia.

I cannot express the level of respect I have for every individual working within this space, so many of them having experienced some form of difficulty in their own life which has propelled them to help others. The hundreds of thousands of skilled and dedicated hours donated by volunteers, and by employed staff who are often working far beyond their contracted terms, are keeping a growing number of people around the country fed, clothed, connected and feeling that they are each worth an infinite amount. This can’t be underestimated in any sense and I’m just in awe of all the people I’ve spoken with who are out there making such a positive difference in such an incredibly difficult climate.

 There is an enormous amount of good will out there and it’s my hope that we can translate it into putting further pressure on governments at all levels to do more than they’re doing to alleviate the stress on so many Australians due to the housing crisis.

 This tour has fuelled my passion for advocacy and has solidified my dedication to continue to do what I can for organisations working on the front line of this social catastrophe and the rapidly increasing number of people they support in such a vital way.
