The housing crisis in Australia is made to feel like a confusing, multi-facetted and complex monster. Daily we witness public opinion battles between groups and interests set to lose or win, with different factors presented as the real cause or solution of the housing problem ... And the piecemeal and rather one-dimensional approach taken (house ownership) clearly is not leading us anywhere much... apart from growing unaffordability... 

Matt Lloyd-Cape has just published a book on this topic: 'Our place: How to solve the housing crisis and rebuild the Australian dream' which offers some plausible solution/s. Matt joins Jacques (for the third time) on Think Again to talk us through the housing crisis and some feasible ways out of it.

Matt is a principal fellow at the Centre for Equitable Housing associated with think tank Per Capita and a prominent commentator and advisor on housing policy.
