Phil chats with property marketing expert David Kaity about the recent media focus on politicians’ property portfolios. While the story may have been sparked by the upcoming election — or possibly used as a tactic to frustrate younger, property-less voters — it hasn’t revealed anything scandalous.

There’s no evidence of secret property hoarding by top politicians, including the prime minister and opposition leader. The only eyebrow-raiser? Some properties aren’t generating declared income, implying they might be sitting empty during a rental crisis — a detail likely aimed at resonating with younger voters.

Bottom line: politicians have the same right as anyone else to own property.
