Early life

[edit]

Joe Flood is the eldest child of poet and playwright Dorothy Hewett, His siblings include Tom Flood and Kate Lilley. His parents eloped in 1949 from Perth to Sydney. Before and after his birth they lived in "Australia's last slum" Redfern. His mother wrote poems and short stories about him as a small child.[1][2] His boilermaker father Les Flood suffered from untreated schizophrenia, and the family fled to Perth in 1958 as Les became increasingly dangerous.[3]

His research showed that home ownership rates dropped among certain households between 1991 and 2006.[4]

In 2004, Flood attributed the declining rate of home ownership with the increased availability of housing loans to landlords, as well as falling global finance costs and and rapid immigration without the necessary supporting infrastructure spending.[5][6] In 2010, a new AHURI study by Flood showed home ownership was decreasing sharply among younger households.[7][8][9][10]
