In this episode, we uncover what might be the biggest risk to Australian property right now — the commercial office sector. From vacant towers in Sydney CBD to global office market collapse, we break down the debt crisis no one is talking about.

You’ll learn:
âś… Why office vacancies have skyrocketed post-COVID
✅ How “extend and pretend” debt tactics are masking the truth
âś… The parallels to the 2008 GFC
✅ Who actually holds the risk — and how it could spread globally
âś… Potential solutions, from rezoning to residential conversions

Packed with real-world observations, shocking stats and insider commentary, this deep dive pulls back the curtain on the office property crisis in Australia and beyond.
