The Labor government in Victoria announced that it will spend $5.3 billion as part of the 'Big Housing Build' over the next four years. The initiative has been described as the 'largest ever investment' by a state government in housing but the spin covers the fact that the majority of the money will not be spent on public housing. In this episode we explore the privatisation of social housing in Australia and investigate the reality of the housing crisis with activists Louisa Bassini and Steph Price.
