This month's John Cain Lunch sees the Hon Kevin Bell reimagining ‘the great Australian dream’ of housing as ‘the great Australian right’ to housing.
Almost everyone in Australia is feeling the impact of the national housing crisis, which is traumatising individuals, families and communities.
Housing: the Great Australian Right argues that governments have the capacity and the power to resolve this national plight. The first step is for Australia to rethink its approach to housing policy and recognise access to housing – having a home – as a fundamental human right.
Recorded 18 of September at Graduate House, Melbourne University, Melbourne/Naarm.
