Feeding the Moloch: On the Speculative Nature of Australia's Housing Crisis
This article examines the acute and prolonged housing crisis in Australia, contextualizing it within decades of neoliberal policy, speculative market behaviour, and the systemic neglect of public housing. It critiques 'social mix' renewal programs, the demonisation of non-ownership tenures, and the framing of housing as a speculative asset rather than a human right.
