In this episode, we examine how the recent oil crisis has destabilised the Australian economy, increasing reliance on imports during a housing crisis. We challenge the narrative blaming property investors for affordability, arguing they are vital for housing supply to meet population growth.

We also debunk "lazy income" myths regarding rent, highlighting investors' roles in national infrastructure. Discover how higher property taxes could worsen housing issues. Join us to rethink urbanisation and the importance of supporting economic drivers for Australia's stability.
