Episode 3: Home Calls

This week's episode investigates housing affordability. Like Australia's energy crisis, housing affordability is a crisis of our own making: record house prices, a growing homeless population, and a greater number of people spending over a third of their income on housing. Despite the push to find a solution, public debate is narrow, partisan and stuck where it was ten years ago. To look at viable options, Richard speaks to the director of the Australian and New Zealand Homeshare Alliance, Beris Campbell, and senior lecturer in journalism at the University of Technology Sydney, Jenna Price. Richard also looks at what politicians and statisticians mean when they say "unemployment". News audio is courtesy of the ABC.
