  • In short: The 2024 Anglicare Australia Rental Affordability Snapshot has recorded its lowest ever amount of affordable rentals across the country.
  • Its annual report, released today, shows the number of affordable rentals available for different Australian households on low incomes.
  • The report has found housing availability has not recovered since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic โ€“ with average rents $200 a week higher than pre-pandemic levels.

We dont build homes to house people, we don't grow food to feed people. We don't generate electricity to cool or warm people.

If you have no money you starve, are homeless and shiver to death in a cold spell... or you're a "criminal" and every election reinforces that with who we elect.

There are zero answers here within the orthodoxy of neo liberal economics and politics.
