About this episode
Renting or buying a home is not getting any easier in Australia – and the future could get even worse if we don’t do something.
With the population growing, homes are going to be in short supply, particularly affordable homes.
The government wants to build new houses with an investment fund, the Greens want a rent freeze and more guaranteed funding for affordable homes – and negotiations are becoming the latest flashpoint in a bitter dispute between the two parties.
Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper Karen Middleton on the political games that could decide the future of Australian housing.
