What is the state of social housing in Australia?
it's the real estate podcast brought to you by ray white the largest real estate and property group in australasia and welcome to another episode of the real estate podcast available on iheart radio and also spotify and apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast from welcome to the last day of the month yes may the 31st of 2022 june tomorrow then july and then we're into august and then the run-up to christmas and it'll happen probably about as fast as that craig stop that's scaring people yeah well it's just a reality whichever way you look at it so what you're saying is people should start planning their christmas holidays Well, maybe not straight away as in today, but people do like to book early and I'll make this prediction.
I bet someone listening to us this morning has decided to do exactly that. Start booking early.
Perhaps I'll be doing the podcast solo when you're on holiday.
Amy, you've only been here a few days. Is my job in jeopardy?
I did say some people find me intimidating. I didn't expect you'd be one of them.
How has the change of government impacted social housing policy?
No, I'm not intimidated. What is coming up this morning?
Maybe a little. Coming up, we are talking social housing. Rental costs have been out of reach for many families. We are going to talk to Hal Pawson next on the podcast.
It's the main centre forecast with propertybuyer.com.au.
And let's go to Sydney where it's going to be a windy day and cloudy conditions with 18 degrees as your forecast high. Melbourne expecting showers also windy with 11 degrees. Brisbane dry and windy with 21.
What role do landlords play in the housing crisis?
And in Perth it should be a mainly dry day with a little bit of cloud cover and expect your high of 20 degrees.
Enjoy your morning coffee. Wake up every morning to the Real Estate Podcast.
Well, the numbers finally got to 76 for PM Anthony Albanese to form a majority Labour government. The ABC election computer is projecting that Labour will hold at least 76 seats, the minimum required to form a majority government. And it's been a long, long 10 days of counting. Remember, of course, we went to the polls on the 21st and today is the 31st. So 10 days of musing over what the final outcome would be. And the shake-up continued yesterday with the new elected Liberal and National Party leaders in Peter Dutton and David Littleproud. It's been a while since we've seen so much clearing out of political figures and the task surely now has to be all about the economic growth for the next 18 months.
How has COVID-19 affected rental affordability?
Informing you on real estate. It's the Real Estate Podcast.
Well, we're looking at social housing and just how much of a problem it's become. And joining me is Hal Pawson. He is a professor for housing research and policy at the University of New South Wales. Good morning, Hal. Great to have you on the podcast this morning. Yeah, thanks very much for the invitation. And we know that social housing is a bit of a dilemma, a bit of a problem. First I'd like to ask you though your thoughts about the change of government and anything positive around policy signalling and whether you feel any change might happen as a result in that space.
What international models can Australia learn from for social housing?
Sure. Well, I mean, just maybe just to get the terminology clear or kind of get on the same wavelength as everybody else. When we're speaking about social housing, or at least when I'm speaking about it, I'm talking about public housing and community housing. As to the change of government, yeah, I do think that it is significant because the federal government that we've had for the last nine years has really not been interested in social housing. It's fair to say that delivery of social housing is a state and territory government. It matter. So the federal government doesn't own any or run it directly. But federal governments have a choice as to whether they get involved in social housing at all or, you know, they do anything proactive with states and territories.
And the one we've had for the last nine years has chosen not to do that. It's clear from the election platform that Labour came to the election with that Labour doesn't intend to follow that.
