Australia wastes billions making housing more expensive

It’s not easy to screw up the housing market this badly – it’s taken Australia decades of bad policy and billions of dollars to get here, Matt Grudnoff says. How did Australia get itself into such a mess with housing? What impact is the crisis having on renters? And why does everyone seem to think investing in the property market is a good idea except the government? On this episode of Dollars & Sense, Australia Institute Senior Economist Matt Grudnoff talks about what caused Australia’s housing crisis and what government can do to fix it. australiainstitute.org.au // @theausinstitute Host: Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist, the Australia Institute // @MattGrudnoff Host: Elinor Johnston-Leek, Senior Content Producer, the Australia Institute // @ElinorJ_L Theme music: Blue Dot Sessions We’d love to hear your feedback on this series, so send in your questions, comments or suggestions for future episodes to [email protected] the research powerful interests fear: https://theaus.in/430U1RvSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
