How many housos does it take to change a light-bulb?

Only one.

But first, you have to line up the following dignitaries:

• An official from the Local Council to award a certificate of community service, and to apologise for the absence of the Mayor, who was keen to attend but found themselves unexpectedly delayed
• a representative of TAFE to award statements of attainment
• A bevy of community workers from local services to facilitate the awards ceremony
• Interns trainee community workers to take notes and look sympathetic
• HNSW staff:




to take complaints about maintenance on notice and promise to look into it and get back to the tenant 

to hand out leaflets on domestic violence and substance abuse

to collect evaluation sheets of the event 

to photograph the event for "Your Home" 

Then there should be a

• a PhD student in search of an original qualitative research topic eg Tenant Resilience or Resistance? Funding Options For Empowering Tenant Lightbulb Change.
• someone from the Cancer Council (not sure why)
• the local MP to put on Serious Listening Face,  "really listen", and pass Tenants onto ...
• The local MP's staffer to take complaints about maintenance on notice and promise to look into it and get back to the tenant
