| The ACT government has begun evicting its wealthier public housing tenants, including one household earning more than $230,000 a year.
To date, 43 Housing ACT residents have been served with a notice to vacate as part of the government's crackdown on middle class tenants, which has caused concern amongs local welfare groups.
Approximately 250 households of the 1000 public housing renters paying market prices have declared household incomes of more than $80,000 a year over one or two financial years. Of these, more than 100 have reported household incomes in excess of $100,000 a year.
Housing Minister Joy Burch said the process, which began five years ago, would deliver housing to those most in need throughout the capital.
