For so many experts and politicians, the answer to Australia’s housing crisis is simple. Rejig zoning rules, build more homes and get Australians into increasingly dense developments. But is the supply ‘solution’ the cure-all it’s made out to be? In this final episode of our series, ABC business editor Michael Janda looks at what really needs to be done on supply and demand to make it just a little bit easier for people to buy a home. We’ll also take you to Melbourne, where apartment prices have flatlined over the past five years and first home buyers are flooding into the market. We’ll explain what it will take to finally free Australia’s housing hostages.
