Notes:	Provides a brief thematic overview of the 3rd National Homelessness Conference held in Brisbane, 2003. Among the key themes discussed are: responding to homelessness from a human rights' perspective, poverty and income support, discrimination and racism and housing for people who have a mental illness. The section on violence against women and children notes that gender is the greatest risk factor to violence in the world, even greater than war. The conference Talking Circle, "Lets Talk about Children, Domestic Violence and Family Law" raises the need for family law reform regarding unsupervised contact in cases where there is a history of domestic violence and abuse.
