It's about our fetish for home and ownership. Why are Australians so obsessed with interest rates, home ownership, home beautification, investment properties, real estate? Fiona Allon looks at our own homes--why we renovate, why shows like The Block were so incredibly popular, why housing affordability has become one of the key political and social issues--and finds that we have become more inward looking than ever. She also looks at the national 'home', and at why we became so anxious about keeping some people out of the country, or away from places some thought they owned, like Cronulla Beach."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aNational characteristics, Australian 606 $aHome ownership$xSocial aspects$zAustralia 606 $aHome ownership$xEconomic aspects$zAustralia 606 $aHousing$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$xSocial life and customs$y1990- 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1990-2001 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Australian. 615 0$aHome ownership$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHome ownership$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aHousing 676 $a643.7 700 $aAllon$b Fiona R$0882928 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456910603321 996 $aRenovation nation$91972383 997 $aUNINA
