Then they are joined by the MP for Griffith and Greens housing spokesperson, Max Chandler-Mather! (26:13) Is this the week the major parties went mask off? Will the competing Labor and LNP housing policies just compete to do the most damage? Why do the Greens want a public developer? Finally, a call to action (1:03:33).

The squatter-to-landlord thing totally happened to us! My mother in law had to move to a nursing home just before Covid lockdowns started. We couldn’t get to her place to clear her belongings and prepare it for sale during lockdown as it was in another state. By the time we could get there, there were people living there — people who thought they were legitimately renting it from the owner, but no, they were renting from squatters. The squatters had come in, chucked or sold all my MIL’s belongings, changed the locks and then moved tenants in! I felt terrible for the renters who had no idea. They stayed for another three months while they looked for somewhere else. We had to sell in order to fund my MIL’s care or otherwise we couldn’t have sorted something out. But truly weird situation to be in!
