Australians are calling for bold action on housing; prioritising faster and increased house building as the principal measures to urgently address the ‘worst housing crisis in recent history’.That’s the outcome of the country’s first ever national AMPLIFICATION on Housing, where the public took charge of the longstanding crisis; deliberating on real solutions to tackle one of Australia’s biggest challenges.
Australia’s housing crisis is reaching a breaking point. While house prices might have levelled in some areas, and owners finally benefit from a rate cut, the effect of a long-term housing crisis continues to tear the social fabric of the country.This weekend (22nd-23rd Feb), in a nation-first move, a group of 100 representative Australians will take charge of the longstanding housing crisis; putting 13 reforms from leading experts to the test in a radical push for action.The bold approach by AMPLIFY, a non-partisan and independent community-led organisation, will see 100 Australians from all backgrounds come together to tackle the country’s biggest challenge with experts, demanding urgent action from leaders to reshape policy, rise above the politics, and make housing affordable for everyone.
Today, (Monday, 25 November), a non-partisan organisation focused on empowering Australians to shape national policy through community engagement, AMPLIFY will host a pivotal conversation in Sydney to answer the most pressing questions of our time; is Australia at risk of a US-style polarisation, can we turn this into our advantage, or is there a united path forward?Some of Australia’s most prominent thinkers and community leaders - Claire Lehmann, Bill Kelty and Waleed Aly - will be examining the potential polarisation crisis in Australia, including economic inequality, media dynamics, dis/misinformation and identity politics, to uncover answers to what will determine our future as a country.
A national series of deliberative events designed to start revitalising democracy will launch in Toowoomba on 31 October. This four-part event series by AMPLIFY, a non-partisan community organisation, aims to foster open dialogue on Australia's critical issues, starting with focusing on rebuilding trust in government. Led by AMPILIFY’s Chief Policy and Research Officer, Dr Rory Gallagher, and featuring a Q&A session with Independent MP Helen Haines and Senator David Pocock, the Toowoomba event will gather local community members to explore why trust in government is falling, and ideas for addressing this.
AMPLIFY is today announcing it will convene the first national AMPLIFICATION on housing - an entirely independent and unprecedented process for the community, by the community, to find uncommon ground on housing reform, with all Australians invited to participate.Starting this month, the six-month process – including offline and online forums - will give the community the opportunity to seek out new information and expert perspectives, share their thoughts, solve by learning and confronting the trade-offs of the potential solutions and ultimately be part of sparking change on housing via the AMPLIFY community.
