No full textThis is a book about policy change that focusses on a single case study: the rise and resilience of the Australian policy for Real Estate Carry.The text tracks investments of meaning and identity in the Australian policies for Negative Gearing (1987) and the Capital Gains Tax Discount (1999), through which successive federal governments inadvertently created scope for a dangerous and inefficient Real Estate Carry Trade in the housing sector that has proven resilient to reform for a quarter century. Considering that Carry Trades inevitably create the conditions for their own collapse, the historical failure of Australian governments to achieve policy change is a serious issue for the country going forward. As they attempt to make their housing sector more stable, sustainable and equitable, Australian people may need to prepare for potentially dramatic changes to their economic and monetary system. The book also raises important implications for understanding the nature and workings of policy change in Australian politics and beyond. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of political theory, public policy and Australian politics as well as policy practitioners, third sector groups and political parties interested in Australian and international housing policy

The social family ::sociality and the ethics of supporting families /
No full textThis book argues for an inclusive definition of the family that recognizes diverse caregiving relationships and outlines distinct familial and governmental obligations based on a taxonomy of needs. In doing so, it de-emphasizes marriage, biological ties, or shared values as the basis for familial relationship in social and legal contexts.Author Laura Kane reconceives the family as a unique social group centered on providing intimate care for the mutual flourishing of all its members, regardless of gendered or intergenerational roles or relations. Adopting a care ethics framework, Kane argues that interdependent, intimate caregiving relationships are fundamental to human experience-without such relationships, many of us would encounter difficulties meeting our needs. This account therefore prioritizes families as the starting place for thinking through moral and political obligations, and advocates for state policies that support family caregiving relationships by granting rights, privileges, and protections to groups engaged in intimate, interdependent care.An important contribution to the philosophy of family structures and their role in society, The Social Family offers a clear and accessible account of its subject for researchers and students in philosophy, sociology, political theory, social work, family therapy, and those engaged in public policy.Key Features: Provides a clear definition of the family to ground family policy debates. Situates the family as a unique kind of social group through its purpose and commitment structure, contributing to debates in social ontology. Provides an account of the moral and social obligations of states to support families. Provides a more inclusive account of the family that disentangles marriage and procreation from family identity, reducing gendered role expectations within families
