The New Zealand Problem Is Our Problem Too!

Home prices in New Zealand have gone through the roof, prompting changes to the Reserve Bank NZ mandate, and changes in monetary policy. But recent Treasury modelling shows how out of touch they are compared with ordinary people as they try to post-rationaise the benefits of high home prices. Not only are they using old data from 2018, but their neo-liberal skirts are showing. And similar distorting thinking is driving policy in other markets too – time for a change of tune!

Homing In On Housing Price Falls

New data highlights the housing affordability issues across Australia, and another major bank comes out with a forecast fall in home prices ahead. Things in property are getting interesting. So I am now waiting for the next Government response – how about yet more first time buyer bribes, or financial support direct to developers? With an election in the wind, the Government will want to find some way to prop up the market for the next few months, before a later collapse. So expect more unnatural acts ahead – unnatural from an economic and social perspective but unfortunately totally logical from a win at all costs, never mind the price attitude we have seen from this Government.

A Way Forward For Regional Banking… With Robbie Barwick

In today’s show we look at the latest inquiry into Banking, which is looking at how regional areas in Australia are and should be supported. Whilst the short-hand answer might appear to be go on-line, the truth is connectivity in many areas is still shaky, some services still need face to face interaction, yet banks are shutting branches and removing ATMs, in an attempt to drive down costs. There has been a 24 per cent fall in regional bank branches over the last four years, and this does not count the increasing number only open for a few hours a week.

You can make a submission for the next month or so. https://treasury.gov.au/consultation/c2021-222961

I discuss with Robbie Barwick from The Citizens Party.
