Show Notes
Today, I discuss Australia's housing crisis in Australia with Brendan Coates, the Housing and Economic Security Program Director at the Grattan Institute.
We explore what's really driving the housing crisis, the impact of migration and tax policies, and why simply building more homes may not be the silver bullet many think it is.
We also get Brendan's insights on how we can create a fairer, more sustainable housing market for all Australians.
Our conversation also covers the expectations of first-time home buyers, government responses, and the long-term outlook for housing affordability.
Takeaways

- The housing crisis will take a decade to resolve.
