This month's John Cain Lunch sees the Hon Kevin Bell reimagining ‘the great Australian dream’ of housing as ‘the great Australian right’ to housing.
Almost everyone in Australia is feeling the impact of the national housing crisis, which is traumatising individuals, families and communities.
Housing: the Great Australian Right argues that governments have the capacity and the power to resolve this national plight. The first step is for Australia to rethink its approach to housing policy and recognise access to housing – having a home – as a fundamental human right.

Housing may be Australia’s most contentious and prevalent issue. Across the political aisle, fingers have been pointed at various causes and numerous solutions have been floated.

For our first episode for 2024, Emma Dawson is joined by student advocates Ana, Mai, and Stevie to discuss Per Capita’s recent report, A Thousand Hours for Free? Ending Unpaid Placements in Social Work Education, a policy proposal Per Capita put together for the Australian Council of Heads of Social Work Education.
The requirement to undertake 1000 hours of unpaid field education – equivalent to six months’ full time work – is contributing to a low completion rate despite the demand for social workers increasing. Ana, Mai, and Stevie share their insights into the conditions social work students are enduring and how the system should change to benefit current and future students.
Read the full report, A Thousand Hours for Free? Ending Unpaid Placements in Social Work Education, here: https://percapita.org.au/blog/our_work/a-thousand-hours-for-free-ending-unpaid-placements-in-social-work-education/
Since recording this episode, the Albanese Government's announced that placements for social work, nursing, midwife, and teaching degrees will be paid! While it isn’t minimum wage, the payment will be in conjunction with any additional support payments students already receive, which is a big win for those studying in these important fields.

The escalation in house prices is a pain that has altered Australian society; it has increased inequality and profoundly changed the relationship between generations – between those who have a house and those who don’t. It has caused a rental crisis, a dearth of public housing and a mortgage crunch.
Things went seriously wrong at the start of the twenty-first century, when there was a huge and permanent rise in the price of housing. In this crisp, clarifying and forward-looking essay, Alan Kohler tells the story of how we got into this mess – and how we might get out of it.
Listen to this Per Capita Webinar, recorded on the 15th of December 2023, hosted by Per Capita’s Emma Dawson and Matt Lloyd-Cape.
