Cyclone Alfred reveals plight of Queensland's rough sleepers

Queensland's homelessness crisis has been exposed by the recent emergency caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Brisbane's Lord Mayor has announced rough sleepers living in so-called 'tent cities' will be given 24 hours notice to leave. Another nearby council recently banned people sleeping rough in public parks, a penalty of up to 8-thousand dollars coming into effect yesterday. SBS has visited a tent city just south of Brisbane, which flooded after heavy rainfall, in an area struggling to cope with limited housing supply and rising cost of living.
