FLAC has issued its [broken link removed] for 2012
One would get the impression that the biggest problem facing the country was mortgage arrears. I have argued that unemployment and homelessness affects far more.

Of course, FLAC probably only gets involved in mortgage issues where legal action is in progress and there are many other organisations such as MABS which deal with debt issues before the legal process begins.
But still it's surprisingly few.
