NSW housing and homelessness minister says Bikram Lama’s death shows the ‘gaps’ that people without residency can fall through
Federal and state housing ministers have described the death of a young homeless man in Sydney’s Hyde Park as “beyond tragic” and say it reinforces the need to stop vulnerable rough sleepers from falling through the cracks.
Bikram Lama, 32, was found dead on 7 December last year near the entrance to St James tunnel where he had been sleeping rough.
