Kristin O’Connell: ’There are common sense solutions to the housing crisis’

House prices and rents are rising at unprecedented rates and the Anthony Albanese Labor government has claimed a recent deal negotiated at the National Cabinet meeting is the “most significant housing reform in a generation”; but Labor is not investing in public housing and there are questions about whether these reforms will have any impact.

Green Left spoke to Kristin O'Connell from the Antipoverty Centre about the housing crisis, what Labor is doing and common sense solutions.
