Key Points

• In many capital cities, households are still handing over almost a third of their income just to keep a roof over their heads.
• The nation’s least affordable capital, Perth, has slipped even further, recording another four per cent drop in affordability on top of last year’s record low.
• The Federal Government says it recognises more needs to be done — but argues it is increasing supply through national housing funds and by partnering with the states to build more rental homes.
