Show Notes
This week, Cameron Kusher joins me on Exchanges to unpack the complex forces shaping the Australian housing market. From the economics of supply and demand to the impact of government policy, negative gearing lending and everything in between.
We explore affordability challenges, the future of stamp duty, and the growing appeal of rentvesting among younger Australians. Cameron also makes the case for a stronger non-market housing sector and the need for public-private partnerships to deliver sustainable, affordable housing solutions and tackle the rising risk of homelessness. This episode is not to be missed
