Abstract
While Australia has an egalitarian mythology, where everyone has a chance, the roots of problemswith access to housing lie in our history. The first land grants were given to former convicts as a wayto control an unfenced prison colony. As free settlers arrived in Australia, priorities changed, landownership gained prestige, and smaller landholders were pushed out of the market.
