2023/24 Holiday Series: Resolving the housing crisis with Cathy Callaghan

The one big issue that persisted throughout 2023 is housing affordability across the board: purchasing, renting, social housing, homelessness, and it seems that the right to shelter is one part of Australian society that has been left behind. Over the past thirty years, a home has morphed from being a place where people live into something that people invest in. This is something that needs to change.
One of our most listened-to episodes from last year was the discussion with Cathy Callaghan from Shelter NSW, who outlined the issues that need to be resolved and the kinds of reforms that need to be implemented. But it’s going to take a while.
This interview was recorded in June 2023, but the issues are still relevant today. Let’s see if these issues can be eased during 2024.
