Got a burning question for our panel? Submit your questions via our website. This week’s hard question was from David Ould about immigration numbers and how Australians can have a mature discussion about their concerns without dehumanising migrants. If this is a cost-of-living election, the ever-rising cost of putting a roof over your head is right at the heart of the debate. Q+A travels to the booming housing belt of south-east Melbourne, where population increase has come with increasing social disadvantage. Mortgage-holders and renters are financially stressed; younger Australians are struggling for any toehold into a market with too few homes. The electorate of Bruce has been Labor heartland for decades. But the party’s brand is on the nose in Victoria, with Liberals – and independents – ready to capitalise. Will Melbourne turn on Anthony Albanese and embrace Peter Dutton? Who has the best plan for building more homes and making housing more accessible and affordable? Which party will make you better off? What makes you anxious about the country’s future – and what makes you excited? I can't wait to hear your questions — and get your answers.
