In this special pre-election episode of Property Now, we sit down with Senator Andrew Bragg — Liberal Senator for NSW and Shadow Assistant Minister for Home Ownership — for a no-holds-barred conversation about the policies shaping Australia’s property market.

From migration cuts and housing supply, to superannuation access and the future of the construction code, Bragg lays out the Coalition's plan to restore the Great Australian Dream. Chris Ferris and the Property Now team press him on the big questions: Can first-home buyer age be brought down from 36? Will freezing building code changes help or hurt quality? And how serious is the Liberal Party about tackling NIMBYism?
