Administrative burden, administrative harms, and other realities in housing and homelessness policy
Negotiating relationships and space in the share household, a gendered perspective
“If we can grow them here it just makes sense”
Country students are underrepresented in Australian higher education. • The Country Universities Centres (CUCs) support students in regional and rural areas by providing high quality facilities, such as computers and high speed internet access, learning spaces, and individualised and group learning support from on-site staff. • This helps address higher education access inequality for country people. • The model disrupts ‘go and grow’ narratives …
Housing options for women leaving domestic violence
Domestic and family violence is the leading cause of female homelessness, yet social housing provision has declined in Anglophone countries like Australia and housing policy responses favour demand-side subsidies to assist with rental payments. We examine the consequences of ‘choice-based’ approaches in competitive housing markets, applying a theoretical discussion of how the neoliberal subject is supposed to respond to external shocks in an adap…
Improving access to drug and alcohol treatment in NSW Australia
One of the key issues in the alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment sector concerns the reported difficulties that clients have in accessing treatment. This paper draws on qualitative interview data collected from clients undergoing treatment (n = 20) and stakeholders (n = 15) of five specialist non-government AOD treatment services in New South Wales, Australia, to offer an in-depth perspective about treatment entry experiences. We identified fo…

In 2015, the Australian government committed to take an additional 12,000 refugees from Syria and Iraq prioritizing those considered most vulnerable including people with disability. The aim of this preliminary study was to understand, from multiple stakeholder perspectives, the experiences of settling in Australia for people with disability from Syrian and Iraqi refugee backgrounds living in Sydney. Interviews were conducted with nine family mem…
Cultural diversity and sensitivity in public estate renewals
Social mixing has been part of government policies regarding estate renewals in many countries. It is mostly achieved through tenure diversification, such as introducing privately owned and rented dwellings. Concurrently, in many residualized social housing sectors, larger shares of tenants now have high and complex needs, including recently settled refugees. Therefore, social and spatial manifestations of multiculture have become more complex. C…
Discourses around negative gearing of investment properties in Australia
A tax rule whereby losses on a rental property are deductible against personal taxable income (commonly known as ‘negative gearing’) is an almost uniquely Australian practice. This article explores how this practice is legitimised and justified by politicians despite coherent criticisms that the practice misdirects investment into unproductive asset speculation causing house price inflation and inequality. This article uses critical discourse ana…
