Q+A: Mar 25

Q+A is live from Melbourne next week on the topic of home ownership.

Home ownership is deeply embedded in Australian mythology. But for many the dream has become a nightmare.

Owners are under significant interest rate stress. Buyers feel locked out of a red-hot market. Renters have copped savage increases amid record-low vacancies.

Australia needs millions more homes to meet population growth. Governments are investing big — but not enough to hit their own targets and fighting fierce resistance to higher density living.

How did we get into this mess? And how do we boost affordability and accelerate construction to keep the Aussie housing dream alive?

This is your chance to hold political leaders to account — and hear experts cut through the spin to the solutions.

Panellists:
Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities & Treasury Andrew Leigh,
Shadow Assistant Minister for Home Ownership Andrew Bragg,
Greens Spokesperson on Housing & Homelessness Max Chandler-Mather,
NSW Minister for Housing & Homelessness Rose Jackson,
Chief Executive, SNAICC – National Voice for our Children Catherine Liddle
