Yes, but only in extreme situations, and as long as it does not encourage irresponsible borrowing, and is not unfair to those who pay their mortgages.

They should provide it for a year or less, then stop. This way, if someone has fallen on tough times they can bounce back; if it's a pattern, they'll be foreclosed soon enough.
@B3CKLNK1wk1W
Yes, but only to those who show they are not irresponsible with their money causing them to be unable to pay their mortage, only for those who are having sudden financial issues caused by lose of their job, medical issues (hospital fees), or family issues (death in family, nursing home costs) for example.
@B2ZNBGC3wks3W
Depending on the home tenets' situation, if it is within their financial control, then no, but if circumstances occur out of their control, then the government should chip in fairly minor amounts of financial aid.
@9WTMTL24mos4MO
Yes, but the situations should be fairly monitored for reasons of foreclosure etc
@9WTKHM64mos4MO
No, insurance companies and Work Cover help with that already
@9WRD8GR4mos4MO
Yes, To those that only have one home ownership property in their name and currently reside in the home
@9WKK2TM4mos4MO
Yes but only those meeting very strict criteria as government cannot afford to bail out everyone. Government to help them to link into services to receive help for long term sustainability.
