EP07 - 2025 Election (Part 1): Which Party Will Fix The Housing Crisis?

Breaking Down the Federal Election Housing Policies: What's Really Going to Work?

In this week's episode, we delve into a timely topic: the upcoming federal election and its implications on the housing crisis. We scrutinise the housing policies of the Coalition, Labour Party, and the Greens. From the controversial $50,000 super withdrawal proposal to shared equity schemes like Help To Buy, we debate their potential impacts. We also touch on critical issues like rent caps, migration, and negative gearing. Are these policies genuine problem-solvers or just short-term vote grabs? And will Imtiyaz survive until next week's episode?

Tune in as we grade each party's plan and discuss what they mean for the future of housing in Australia.
