Program: Could modular homes solve the housing crisis?

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Modular homes are being built at scale in countries like Germany, with Australia also considering production as way to quickly build homes in the middle of a housing shortage. 

The Government is today hosting a roundtable to talk about the role prefabricated homes could play, with Minister for Industry Ed Husic telling RN Breakfast while there are challenges to work through, the speed at which the homes can be built is "offering quality solutions."

Commenting on the domestic fallout from the Israel-Gaza war, Ed Husic says he's concerned at the level of social cohesion across Australia - he says the way we get on with each other "is really important".
