Episode Details

Queensland’s housing crisis is easing—but not enough. The social housing waitlist dropped 20% from over 59,000 to 44,294, thanks to better management and more homes coming online. But the Housing Minister admits there’s still a long way to go. Meanwhile, thousands more—often called the “missing middle”—fall through the cracks: earning too much for social housing but too little to afford private rentals. This forces many into remote areas, worsening their situation. Advocates are demanding urgent action, including specific targets for supportive and affordable housing, while the government aims for 53,000 new homes by 2044. For now, the pressure remains on.
