Calling out the need for more state-built public housing

Friday, 23 October 2020 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer interviews Kate Shaw from the School of Geography, University of Melbourne. 
Kate explains the difference between public housing and community housing, and she makes the case for more state-built public housing in Australia. 
Kate also explains why Australian governments, peak housing bodies, and research centres fail to champion public housing.
Once more, the neoliberal trend toward privatisation of public services is a culprit

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
