Services all over the Queensland provide advocacy to people with high and complex needs, especially those in danger of losing their housing. The Tenancy Advice and Advocacy services are especially important to the thousands of people with disabilities living in Brisbane’s boarding houses and hostels,” Wade said. The TAAS services are funded by tenants themselves - from the interest on tenants’ bonds. It’s disappointing that the government is using executive power to axe a user-pays system,” Wade said.
