I work in greenfield residential subdivisions in Victoria and these are the hardest conditions we’ve faced in the 20 years I’ve been involved. Very little new ground being broken
The interesting one is whether property values will hold when health care availability in some areas continues to deteriorate, which we are starting to see now - nurses cannot afford to live in some areas, and indeed Canberra cannot even use FiFo nurses as there is nowhere for them to stay. Without nurses, and orderlies etc, no matter how big a hospital is the wait lists will continue to grow.
Some very interesting insights here, especially around high interest rates not necessarily being bad for debt. Would love to hear a discussion around the ethics of investing in housing despite the growing shortages. Would love to hear about other examples of investment from the public in something that could be defined as critical infrastructure or at least a basic human right.
@10:30 Yeah, right, as if the government can be trusted to keep that at a small nominal amount. It would eventually end up similar to the system in America, where if you own an expensive property, your annual tax bill would be so high that you won't be able to afford to live in your home anymore.
Costs of building in Qld at least is getting high like a basic 204spq 4 bed home - approx 410k for build only and thats no extra’s is this normal in other states atm
Home warranty insurance stops builders building more houses , the insurance doesn’t help the home owner only if the builder dies , if you have a defected home you will have to take the builder to court. Thats why there aren’t enough homes getting built 😂
At least Labour Party actually makes the effort to build extra houses, the only idea I heard from the Liberals was to let workers dip into their superannuation and pay more for the slim pickings already out there.
Population growth is an essential part of growing GDP. Australians can’t make enough babies so the government has to result to opening the borders because we have inflation and national debt increasing, with out a growing population to service the debt and increase GDP you will become much like Greece in the early 2000s.
Cost of living = no desire to have children. It's not that Australia s don't want to have kids. We can't afford it. Shipping in more people just makes it worse.
Immigration is not the solution, that is so inaccurate - all immigration does is mask the problem of a per capita recession (on paper at a national level, i.e. result in nominally positive GDP) and help disguise the impact of the low native birth rate. The solution is actually not in immigration, but in driving up productivity per person in the labour force, and/or, investing in and developing industry that adds greater value to its export products, rather than just shipping out commodities and products that are of limited complexity and value.
@@davidlangton4743 I think we need to go back to the previous polices we had with the child birth grant, we need to make it cheaper to have kids, and raise kids. If action isn’t taken soon we will have a stagnant economy heavily dependent on China, some would argue we already do and already are. We need to urgently diversify and increase productivity, to do so though more human beings are needed, and also investment by the private sector in domestic manufacturing. The issues with that is we have a high wage economy which makes it very expensive for many foreign and domestic companies to invest in home grown manufacturing, not to mention regulatory hurdlers, and tax’s. The global south provides cost value that we simply can’t compete with unless government subsidies are provided, but this can become a double edge sword as subsides will have to come from some where, either printing money, or more taxes. It’s really a sticky situation to be in.

Interesting perspective here!

Great suggestions, we'll add these to our list of topics to cover.

Lets hope not!
buy overseas ... you can get 2 or 3 times the property for the same money. australia is rip off. that is what I am doing.
Yeah 3rd world countries ffs
Where you buying philipines

Crazy prices.

A tough predicament here no doubt. Children are certainly very expensive!
