A sequel to the sad saga of Suzie and Tommy unfolded in Redcliffe's rough terrain of homelessness - a narrative threaded with uncanny similarities and underlined by the harshness of societal prejudice. 

Howard, a man no different from any of us, found himself thrust into the same role, played on a stage he never auditioned for. Once a part of the bustling system, he too fell victim to the merciless whims of eviction, faced with the same unlikely coalition of a Fiji Indian landlord and a Maori enforcer. An arrangement, it seems, as strange as it is persistent. 

Through Howard's story, a disturbing pattern surfaces. A grim echo of the injustices that have been visited upon Suzie and Tommy, it drives home the notion that homelessness is not just an outcome of bad luck or individual failings; it's a systemic issue, breeding its victims with alarming regularity.

Yet there's a peculiar irony to this all. You see, our society thrives on the belief that justice is pervasive. It reassures us that right will prevail, that wrongs will be corrected. But when individuals find themselves in the grip of homelessness, they're often seen not as victims of systemic failure, but as problematics to be controlled and relocated. 

"Move on" orders become the standard response - a cold-hearted decree that reduces the homeless crisis to a mere inconvenience, an unsightly blight to be swept under the urban rug.

What if we tweaked this narrative? What if we viewed Howard, Suzie, Tommy, and countless others not as problems to be solved but as symptoms of a deeper societal issue? Rather than pushing them to the fringes, let's pull them into the discussion. They bear witness to an endemic issue that most of us can comfortably ignore.

It's time we realize that displacement and marginalization are not inevitable outcomes. We need to challenge the status quo, demand accountability, and strive for a society that cares for all its members, regardless of their economic standing. If justice is truly everywhere, as we love to believe, then it's high time it shows up for those rendered homeless by circumstances beyond their control.
