Some people are skipping meals. The homes of others are 'crumbling' around them. This is the impact of Australia's housing crisis, detailed in a new report.
The private market won't solve Australia's housing crisis, according to a new report that urges the federal government to pour more money into building social housing. The People's Commission into Australia's Housing Crisis released its report on Wednesday following an inquiry led by former Labor senator Doug Cameron and Nicole Gurran, a professor from the University of Sydney’s School of Architecture, Design and Planning.
Greens housing minister Max Chandler-Mather has encouraged the recently-appointed housing minister Clare O'Neil to consider the Greens' plan to set up a government developer to build affordable homes, phase out negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount, co-ordinate a rent two-year freeze and caps on increases, and double social housing funding. But the government has accused the Greens of looking for ways to stop it building homes.
