Monday's toughest question was on youth crime and if tougher penalties would tackle its root causes.
It’s a basic right – a roof over our heads – that's become one of the greatest social and public policy challenges of our times.
There's a crippling shortage of housing in Australia – and we’re falling behind ambitious build targets. Interest rates are stuck high and straining mortgage-holders. Owning has become a vital nest egg and lucrative investment for some, but out of reach for many. Renters are crying out for cost relief and legal protection.
On Q+A, the federal minister and shadow responsible go head-to-head on your questions. And two of the sharpest economic and policy minds help break down the problem – and advocate solutions that could really make a difference.
I can’t wait to hear your questions – and get you answers.
