In Australia, there are tensions that arise between seeing housing as a human right and viewing housing as a commodity from which to make and sustain wealth. In addition, there are different forms of housing aimed towards catering for different population and individual needs, ranging from emergency shelters, transitional and temporary housing, social and community housing, market and non-market rentals, lease arrangements, ‘special needs’ housing, respite and permanent aged care, affordable home ownership, and market home ownership. The political tensions and issues arising out of housing affordability, availability, and choice, creates significant policy and planning issues.
