Description
• There’s no doubt Australia is in the grip of housing crisis, and from hotly contested think pieces and intergenerational mud-slinging, to embattled episodes of Q&A and the much-maligned smashed avocado, it seems everyone has an opinion on the topic • In No Place Like Home, award-wining journalist Peter Mares embarks on a personal journey of inquiry in an attempt to better comprehend and possibly find answers to this issue so engrained in the nation’s consciousness (and newspaper headlines) • From an initial conversation with a homeless man living on the streets of Melbourne, to touring new display-home suites and braving the crowds at Saturday-morning rental viewings, Mares takes a firsthand look at the lived realities of those embroiled on the frontlines of Australia’s housing crisis • Using personal storytelling, research, statistical data, case studies and interviews, Mares constructs a coherent snapshot of the crisis at hand, the policy settings that gave rise to it and the predicament's current outlook • Most importantly, No Place Like Home will cut through the noise to offer practical and nuanced solutions for this challenging issue. Accessible and timely, it will gain wide media attention and provoke national debate
