THE AUSTRALIAN DREAM
I am not somebody who thinks that the we can solve housing market issues with just policy levers. I think that policy levers get us somewhere. And there are there are a lot of them that affect housing - financial taxation, planning, there are levers at the federal level at the state level. And that's a complex kind of beast. But I think to actually get any change in that space, we need to change the narrative about who we are, what we believe in, and what we think housing is for.
