Politics in the Pub: Australia's Housing Crisis

Wed, Oct 15, 2025 6:30pm AEDT Verity Lane Market

RSVP Below

Join us for a look at the causes and solutions of the housing crisis. This month we have Bill Code, the director of the new documentary Sold! Who Broke the Australian Dream? In this documentary, co-written by Craig Reucassel, satirist Mark Humphries examines Australia's housing crisis, with renters, journos and comics asking who broke the dream and how can the country fix it before it's too late.

The housing crisis is one of the biggest issues facing Australia today. After years of paying lip service to the issue of housing affordability, it blew up as a major issue at this year’s federal election. What has caused this crisis? What are the solutions? And is the government putting in place the right policies that are actually going to make a difference and help people buy their own home?

As well as Bill Code, we will be joined by Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist at the Australia Institute, and host Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director at the Australia Institute.
