Luke Grant talks to Robert Gottliebsen, Business Columnist with The Australian, about his latest article in The Australia ‘Feral bank officials dampen property spark.’

He writes ‘the fire of optimism that swept Australia after the May 18 Scott Morrison election win has well and truly faded in new housing developments and retail.’

‘If you are pregnant or show any interest in having a family, you often become akin to a criminal suspect and are shown no mercy in income and expenditure questioning.’

“High Melbourne and Sydney auction clearance rates indicate that there is still spark in the May 18 embers but that will be tested when the supply of dwellings hitting the market rises as we approach spring.”
