This week’s Saturday Paper‘s “&am” podcast looks at the causes and consequences of the massive increase in Australian residential property prices, relative to incomes, and the resulting decline in home ownership rates, especially among younger and middle-aged Australians, over the past six decades. It includes some extended grabs from me. It’s available here:

(the grabs from me start about 14 minutes in from the beginning)

There’s also a lengthy article by Mike Seccombe in the print edition of The Saturday Paper for 13th April, including a number of quotes from me and other economists, which is available here:
