Is Australia's housing situation a crisis?

Kevin Bell, a former Victorian Supreme Court justice, says it's worse than a crisis; it's a socio-economic and human rights disaster.

"The situation we confront has been oft-called a crisis," he says.

"Maybe that was a fair enough description a generation ago. But now it is obviously not just a blip in an otherwise well-functioning system. It is chronic. It has become the system.

"That is why we need a stronger word to describe what is unfolding. I have chosen the word 'disaster', but if it continues much longer, it will be a catastrophe."
