This week, Greg McKenna, CEO of Police Bank, joins us to explore the evolving landscape of Australian lending and its impact on housing affordability. We discuss the challenges posed by current lending regulations, the need for innovative lending products, and the critical role of increasing housing supply to ensure future generations can achieve home ownership.

Greg also shares insights into the competitive banking sector, the potential of AI to transform operations, and the importance of regulatory frameworks that support both consumer protection and access to credit.
