Many people in New South Wales do not have safe homes. This includes people from other countries in cities and Indigenous people in small towns.

許多新南威爾斯州的人沒有安全的住所。這包括城市中來自其他國家的移民以及小鎮的原住民。

In Sydney, people from other countries have problems. They pay a lot for school and food. Some women have partners who hurt them. These women cannot get government help because of their visas. Some people have no home and die on the street.

在悉尼，來自其他國家的人面臨許多問題。他們在學校和食物上花了很多錢。有些女性的伴侶會傷害她們。由於簽證原因，這些女性無法獲得政府的幫助。有些人無家可歸，最後死在街頭。

In the town of Wilcannia, Indigenous people live in bad houses. The houses have mold and broken pipes. Too many people live in one small house. The government gives some money for repairs, but it is not enough.

在威爾坎尼亞鎮，原住民住在破舊的房子裡。房屋內有霉菌且水管破損。太多人擠在一個小房子裡。政府雖然提供了一些維修資金，但仍然不足。

Many people wait for a new house. Some families wait for five years. The government is too slow to help these people.

許多人在等待新房。有些家庭等待了五年。政府提供幫助的速度太慢了。

政府對窮人的幫助不足。許多城市和小鎮的人正處於風險之中。

Recent data and reports show a serious failure in housing security for non-residents in cities and Indigenous communities in remote areas of New South Wales.

最近的數據與報告顯示，新南威爾斯州城市中的非居民以及偏遠地區原住民社區的住房保障存在嚴重缺失。

In Sydney, the combination of immigration status and financial instability has created a dangerous situation for non-residents. The death of Bikram Lama, a former international student, highlights how this group is often ignored by the system. Organizations like the Matthew Talbot Hostel emphasize that high tuition fees and rising living costs have caused this trend. Furthermore, non-resident women experiencing domestic violence are particularly vulnerable because sponsors can cancel their visa applications. This often leads to an immediate loss of healthcare and financial benefits. The Women & Girls Emergency Centre reports that about 50% of its residents are non-residents, adding that long wait times for partner visas—sometimes over 17 months—increase the risk of homelessness.

在悉尼，移民身分與經濟不穩定交織，為非居民創造了危險的局面。前國際學生 Bikram Lama 的逝世，凸顯了該群體經常被體制忽視的情況。像是 Matthew Talbot Hostel 等機構強調，高昂的學費與上升的生活成本導致了這一趨勢。此外，遭受家庭暴力的非居民女性尤其脆弱，因為擔保人可以取消其簽證申請。這往往導致立即失去醫療與經濟福利。Women & Girls Emergency Centre 報告指出，約 50% 的入住者為非居民，並補充說配偶簽證的等待時間過長——有時超過 17 個月——增加了無家可歸的風險。

Similarly, there are systemic failures in remote towns such as Wilcannia. Residents of properties managed by the Mid Lachlan Aboriginal Housing Management Cooperative (MLAHMC) have reported severe overcrowding and poor living conditions, including mold and sewage leaks. While the MLAHMC claims that maintenance delays are due to a lack of contractors and transport issues, experts from the University of Queensland argue that the government has historically failed to provide adequate housing for remote Indigenous communities. Although the Aboriginal Housing Office has spent $3.7 million on repairs since 2020, there is still a huge gap between the number of people in need and the available social housing, with some waiting up to five years for larger homes.

同樣地，在如 Wilcannia 等偏遠小鎮也存在系統性失效。由 Mid Lachlan Aboriginal Housing Management Cooperative (MLAHMC) 管理的物業住戶報告了嚴重的擁擠和惡劣的居住條件，包括霉菌與污水滲漏。雖然 MLAHMC 聲稱維修延遲是由於缺乏承包商與交通問題，但昆士蘭大學的專家認為，政府在歷史上未能為偏遠原住民社區提供充足的住房。儘管原住民住房辦公室自 2020 年以來投入 370 萬美元用於維修，但需要人數與可用社會住宅之間仍有巨大差距，部分人甚至需等待五年才能獲得較大的住房。

The current situation shows a significant gap in social support for marginalized groups, leaving both urban non-residents and remote Indigenous families at high risk of homelessness.

目前的情況顯示，社會對邊緣群體的支援存在顯著缺口，使得城市非居民與偏遠地區原住民家庭均面臨極高的無家可歸風險。

Current data and anecdotal evidence indicate a critical failure in housing security for non-resident populations in urban centers and Indigenous communities in remote regions of New South Wales.

目前的數據與軼聞證據顯示，新南威爾斯州城市中心的非居民群體以及偏遠地區的原住民社區，在住房保障方面出現了嚴重失效。

The intersection of immigration status and socioeconomic instability has created a precarious environment for non-residents in Sydney. The death of Bikram Lama, a former international student, serves as a focal point for the systemic invisibility of this cohort. Stakeholders, including the Matthew Talbot Hostel, attribute this trend to the convergence of high educational costs and escalating living expenses. Furthermore, a specific vulnerability exists for non-resident women subjected to domestic violence; the capacity of sponsors to revoke visa applications often results in the immediate cessation of access to Medicare and Centrelink benefits. The Women & Girls Emergency Centre reports that approximately 50% of its residents are non-residents, noting that protracted processing times for partner visas—often exceeding 17 months—exacerbate homelessness.

移民身份與社會經濟不穩定交織，為悉尼的非居民營造了一個不穩定的環境。前國際學生 Bikram Lama 的死亡，成為該群體在系統性層面被忽視的焦點。包括 Matthew Talbot Hostel 在內的利益相關者將此趨勢歸因於高昂的教育成本與不斷上升的生活開支。此外，遭受家庭暴力的非居民女性面臨特定的脆弱處境；擔保人撤回簽證申請的能力，往往導致其立即失去 Medicare 和 Centrelink 的福利。Women & Girls Emergency Centre 報告指出，約 50% 的住戶為非居民，並 noting 配偶簽證處理時間過長（通常超過 17 個月）加劇了無家可歸的情況。

Parallel systemic failures are evident in remote regions, specifically within the town of Wilcannia. Reports from residents of Mid Lachlan Aboriginal Housing Management Cooperative (MLAHMC) properties highlight chronic overcrowding and substandard sanitary conditions, including mold and sewage leaks. While the MLAHMC attributes maintenance delays to logistical constraints and contractor availability, academic perspectives from the University of Queensland suggest a broader historical failure of government intervention in remote Indigenous housing. Despite the Aboriginal Housing Office's allocation of $3.7 million for repairs since 2020, the disparity between the volume of priority applicants and available social housing remains significant, with wait times for multi-bedroom properties extending up to five years.

同樣的系統性失效也明顯地出現在偏遠地區，特別是在 Wilcannia 小鎮。Mid Lachlan Aboriginal Housing Management Cooperative (MLAHMC) 物業住戶的報告強調了長期擁擠和低於標準的衛生條件，包括霉菌和污水滲漏。雖然 MLAHMC 將維修延遲歸因於物流限制和承包商可用性，但昆士蘭大學的學術觀點認為，這是政府對偏遠原住民住房干預的更廣泛歷史性失敗。儘管原住民住房辦事處自 2020 年起撥款 370 萬美元用於維修，但優先申請人數與可用社會房屋數量之間的差距依然顯著，多房物業的等待時間最長可達五年。

The current situation is characterized by a significant gap in social safety nets for marginalized populations, leaving both non-residents in urban areas and Indigenous families in remote regions at high risk of housing instability.

目前的情況特徵是社會安全網對邊緣群體存在顯著缺口，使得城市地區的非居民與偏遠地區的原住民家庭均面臨高度的住房不穩定風險。
