Housing - 2007
Personal debt
21/08/2007
Many of us are living on borrowed money ... and struggling to repay the mortgage and other personal debts. Interest rates have been on the up putting many of us in a precarious position. Is it our fault for borrowing too much ... and not saving enough? Or should the banks, credit providers, even the Government take some of the blame?
Housing affordability
10/07/2007
In what's looming as potential election issue, a growing number of Australians are unable to find affordable housing - either to buy or to rent. So what's the solution - Should we release more land? Or provide more assistance for prospective home buyers?
Aboriginal Housing
19/03/2007
Home ownership is an aspiration for many Australians, and a proposed new deal between the Federal Government and the Northern Territory could make way for many indigenous Australians - in remote areas - to legally and individually buy their own home within months.
Home ownership will depend on how easily Aboriginal people in remote areas can pay back loans. Will home ownership reduce poverty and foster self esteem?
