The Greens’ housing delusion

The Greens’ housing delusion

Canberra School of Politics, Economics and Society

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Featured article

Abstract

There is nothing better than living in your own home. Even with a mortgage, being able to be the king or queen of one’s own castle is part of Australian culture. And even the movie The Castle set aside Australia’s traditionally left-leaning film tropes for long enough to promote the idea of property rights.

The Greens want to take all of that away.
