housing affordability

Allowing early access to superannuation as a housing policy risks widening the gender gap between men and women, writes Alison Preston.

“How can we really trust the Morrison government and Jane Hume…when their previous raids on super played out exactly the way experts warned they would for women, especially DV victims?”

Rather than become a country that treats housing just as an investment that deepens inequality, we can give families a place to call home.

Women with caring responsibilities were at greater risk of poverty even before COVID-19 which highlights the risk of ‘snapping back’ early.
