Readers of Radical Cross Stitch will remember last year when the Melbourne Revolutionary Craft Circle got out in Footscray and stitched ‘I Wanna Live Here’ on the fence on the corner of Barkly St and Commercial Road. Here’s the award-winning short film by Anna Brownfield as a refresher
So almost a year on and some philistine (guessing the landlord..) cut it off! Clearly not happy with the community questioning the ongoing waste of such a precious resource the local landmark was destroyed.
The MRCC was clearly not going to let this go unresponded to. So a few days later we were out again, this time armed with bright green wool and tummies filled with Pho.
What the hell is going on?
Why is this block still empty?
Why are there 11 other vacant sites around the primary school?
Why does the State Government continue to believe the outright lies of the property industry that the housing crisis is driven by lack of land?
Why do we still allow this waste of our most precious resource when there’s over 100,000 people every night in Australia with no place to live, let alone call home?
We’ve had enough.
