New rules for renters could be damaging for victims of domestic abuse, a family violence spokesperson says.
Major changes to the Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 1986 have to come into effect by August 11 at the latest, however they can be brought into force before then.
Since US officials first revealed that the Trump administration intent to designate Houthis - the authors of Yemen’s misery - terrorists, a host of politicians and humanitarian and media organizations unleashed a wave of outcries citing alleged concerns about the humanitarian impact on the civilians in the Houthi-controlled areas. So much so that the Trump administration seemed to want to back down.
Now as the administration’s designation intent is surfacing again, the voices of opposition are surfacing too, bent on dashing any hopes for criminalizing Houthism and resolving the protracted war militarily.
What is odd is that these objectors to the terror labeling use the war prolongation as a purported concern to oppose the designation decision!
