While Gen Z and Millennials combined are the biggest voting bloc in Australia, their votes show a quiet divergence between the two generations.
Labor and the Coalition have both made some big housing policy announcements this election, but there are real problems going unaddressed.
Home ownership is often cast as the default goal for every Australian. But that stigmatises renters, who make up nearly a third of all Australian households.
A scholar who researches how rents increase after disasters is fearful for his own community as he watches it burn and braces for the aftermath.
