Australia's housing crisis isn't a mystery – it's the result of government choices. In this episode, we dig into why Victoria is making home ownership harder than ever, from excessive red tape and slow approvals to punitive taxes that push costs through the roof.

We break down the numbers, explore the real impact on buyers and developers, and uncover the structural barriers keeping new homes out of reach. If you've ever wondered why supply isn't meeting demand or why building a home is so expensive, this episode explains it all.

Tune in to get the full picture behind Australia's housing shortage and what it means for the future of home ownership.

Australia's home building "recovery" is dominating headlines — but does it actually stack up?

In this episode, we unpack the latest building approvals data and explain why a single strong month does not signal a genuine turnaround in Australia's housing market. We explore the real gap between approvals, commencements and completions, why so many approved projects never get built, and how construction costs, labour shortages and government red tape are constraining housing supply in 2026.

If you care about housing affordability, property markets, real estate trends or policy reform, this episode delivers clear, independent analysis without the media spin.

Every January, the Australian media dusts off the same story. A single month of housing data is framed as a turning point for the property market and a warning sign for the year ahead.

This episode unpacks why December housing figures are routinely misunderstood, how seasonal slowdowns skew the data, and why mainstream commentary often mistakes noise for insight. We examine what actually drives Australian house prices, from chronic housing undersupply and population growth to infrastructure investment, and why interest rate speculation is so often used as a lazy explanation.

If you want a clearer, evidence based view of the Australian housing market in 2026 and beyond, and how to cut through misleading property headlines, this episode will give you the context the media leaves out.
