Grattan Institute CEO, Aruna Sathanapally, told ABC’s Q&A that Australia’s failure to build enough housing was “at the heart of our economic problems”:
“We can see that the wealth of higher-income Australians or higher-wealth Australians has turbocharged, particularly due to housing prices. It’s property prices that’s led to that increase in wealth. And we haven’t seen that in terms of lower-income Australians”.
“And really, that housing system problem is at the heart of, like, the housing theory of everything. It’s the heart of everything, right?”
