Images from the last day of the 24/7 Street Kitchen and Safe Space for the homeless in Martin Place.
Yesterday, residents peacefully withdrew from Martin Place after being threatened with new coercive legislation passed in Parliament the day before.
The Space was set up on Xmas eve 2016 and has been run by homeless people and rough sleepers ever since. Some residents were offered temporary accommodation (for 28 days) while others were dispersed back out on to the streets around the CBD.
All this happened during National Homelessness Week.
