Governing the ungovernable?
What’s driving Australia’s housing market and public policy? Our monthly podcast hosted by the University of Melbourne’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Glyn Davis
Published 31 March 2016
Australians appear to have an insatiable appetite for property, as owner-occupiers and investors. But at the same time, the Great Australian Dream of home ownership is slipping out of reach for many, and affordable rental properties can be difficult to find.
In The Policy Shop this month, the discussion explores the policies driving current trends, ideas for change and the impacts on Australia financially, socially and economically.
Vice Chancellor of the University of Melbourne, Professor Glyn Davis is joined by economists Dr Judy Yates, from the University of Sydney, and Professor John Freebairn, from the University of Melbourne, to go behind the political debate and talk about the role of governments in housing.
