The Australian government and opposition party have both announced policies to address the country's housing crisis, with young people in particular priced out of the market.

Labor say they want to drop deposits for mortgages to buy a home to five per cent, while the Coalition want to make mortgage repayments tax deductable.

In an early release episode, Brendan Coates, who is the Grattan Institute's housing and economic security program director, talks through these policies and which could boost housing supply and home ownership.
