Australia is in the midst of a housing crisis. Across the country, house prices have skyrocketed, putting the prospect of buying a home well out of reach for too many people. Rents have also soared, placing huge financial pressure on people and pushing many into homelessness. The current system is clearly broken, but what went wrong?
