Summary
Mount Isa’s council is auctioning 24 homes owned by ATSICWS, a welfare group facing nearly $1 million in unpaid rates — leaving Indigenous families, some living there for years, with little warning and no support. Many report broken utilities and lack of communication from government agencies, while one terminally ill resident fears homelessness. Despite federal efforts to intervene, the Commonwealth can’t stop the sales. Queensland Housing says they’re not involved in buying the properties but are helping tenants find alternatives — as evictions loom over a community already on edge.
