00:00A break from house hunting.
00:04Every viewing we go to is very busy, a lot of people coming through.
00:08The Bower family looking for a rental in Perth at no more than $750 a week.
00:14We're still on New Zealand dollar salaries, so it is quite a big chunk of the pay packet.
00:21In the past 12 months, rental affordability has declined in Perth, Brisbane and Hobart,
00:27remained steady in Melbourne and Adelaide and improved slightly for Sydney and Canberra.
00:32Perth is the least affordable capital city, with the average household spending 32% of income on rent.
00:40Sydney, the second least affordable, with rent taking up 30%.
00:45For the pensioners and those very low income households, the rents are then higher than their incomes.
00:52The situation no better in the regions where high rents are seeing businesses struggle to find enough staff.
00:59So that's affecting the very productivity of the economy,
01:03but it's also undermining the very social and economic fabric of regional towns and cities.
01:09Almost a third of Australians now rent.
01:12But as that figure's grown, social housing stock hasn't,
01:15meaning more people are fighting for rentals in the private market.
01:19The stock was around 10% in the late 1970s.
01:23Nationally, that has now dropped to around 3% or less.
01:27Social and affordable housing is critical infrastructure.
01:31It's like building roads, hospitals, schools.
01:34The federal government's commitment to build more a welcome and necessary change,
01:39but still a long road ahead to turn the housing crisis around.
01:44It's unexpected to a little bit.

01:50This is decision in another building.
