Democracy Sausage: Safety nets below and a roof above
Political scientists Mark Riboldi and Pandanus Petter join Democracy Sausage to discuss housing policy, safety nets and the fair go.
How do politicians talk about housing, and does it impact policy?
Who are the villains (or scapegoats) in the Australian housing narrative?
And what does living with dignity mean in our current society; is it universal basic income?
