Opinion: An empathy crisis is ravaging the housing crisis conversation

"The lack of empathy towards people trapped in a crisis that they cannot out-save, out-earn or out-hustle is setting us back significantly. While some are wrapped up in the concept of worthiness, we stray further and further away from reaching a critical part of the discussion: it does not have to be like this," writes Emily Readman.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Missing Perspectives acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today. We acknowledge that land in Australia was never ceded and always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
