The conference forms part of the fact finding and orientation stage of The Housing Commission’s work, serving as a listening exercise to examine the complex constitutional questions arising and the various proposals that have been made around the potential wording for an amendment to the Constitution and to assist the commission in its task to advise the government, in an independent and objective manner, regarding the critical factors for consideration and to make recommendations as to the appropriate wording to be put to the people.
Themes include:
- the role of the state: Private Property Rights, State Duties and Housing Rights
- adjudicating on Housing: Challenges for the Courts
- international experience with a Referendum on Housing
