Australia's inflation rate is now firmly in the RBA's target band, but groceries, rent, and daily essentials still feel painfully expensive. Why is there a disconnect between the data and what we think is our lived reality? The Opposition leader, Peter Dutton, says he wants to cut Australia's permanent migration program. Is such a cut possible? And could it stem the total net overseas migration?And, costings. We spend $9 million a year on the Parliamentary Budget Office. Shouldn't we get its insights before we vote? Guests:Megan Flamer - Innovation specialist with Monash Business School Brendan Coates - Housing and Economic Security Program director at the Grattan InstituteGet in touch: We read all of your emails, and appreciate each one.

In this episode, Brendan Coates, DSc, shares valuable insights on gut health, stressing the critical role of proper digestion and optimal stomach acid levels. He explains how many people unknowingly suffer from poor digestion, often due to compromised stomach acid. Coates emphasizes the importance of thoroughly chewing food and limiting liquid intake during meals to support digestive health.

The Australian government and opposition party have both announced policies to address the country's housing crisis, with young people in particular priced out of the market. Labor say they want to drop deposits for mortgages to buy a home to five per cent, while the Coalition want to make mortgage repayments tax deductable. In an early release episode, Brendan Coates, who is the Grattan Institute's housing and economic security program director, talks through these policies and which could boost housing supply and home ownership.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether it's increasing rent or mortgage repayments, the surging cost of buying a house or simply finding a secure place to live, Australians are struggling more than ever with housing costs. And with a federal election around the corner, cost-of-living is one of the biggest issues facing voters. Labor is spruiking the housing policies that it legislated over its first term, including the newly expanded Help to Buy scheme. The Coalition is promising to allow first home buyers to use their super to help purchase their home. Both parties are proposing a two-year ban on foreign residents purchasing existing homes. But do the policies on offer from the major parties go far enough to help make housing more affordable for more Australians? In this podcast, two Grattan experts, Brendan Coates and Matthew Bowes, evaluate the housing policies on offer – and suggest that whoever wins the election should pursue more comprehensive reforms.

Most Australians have enough to enjoy a comfortable retirement. But too many retirees who rent are being left behind. Today, two thirds of retirees who rent privately live in poverty, including more than three in four single women. And a growing number of older Australians are at risk of becoming homeless. With home ownership falling across the board, it's only going to get worse. On this podcast, host Kat Clay discusses Grattan's new report, Renting in Retirement: Why Rent Assistance needs to rise, with authors Brendan Coates and Matthew Bowes.

Do you find the idea of planning for your retirement overwhelming? If that's you, you're not alone. Our new report shows about 80 per cent of Australians find retirement planning complicated and about 60 per cent of Australians expect that their retirement will be financially stressful. But there are three things the government could do to simplify superannuation – so Australians can enjoy their retirement. On the latest podcast, Brendan Coates and Joey Moloney discuss their new report, Simpler super, and how these three reforms could take the stress out of retirement.

Today, I discuss Australia's housing crisis in Australia with Brendan Coates, the Housing and Economic Security Program Director at the Grattan Institute.   We explore what's really driving the housing crisis, the impact of migration and tax policies, and why simply building more homes may not be the silver bullet many think it is.   We also get Brendan's insights on how we can create a fairer, more sustainable housing market for all Australians.  Our conversation also covers the expectations of first-time home buyers, government responses, and the long-term outlook for housing affordability.  Takeaways  There's a pressure cooker building up for the housing markets.  The housing crisis will take a decade to resolve.  We haven't built enough housing to meet demand.  Migration is playing a role in the housing crisis  Rents have risen significantly since the pandemic.  Government policies need to focus on increasing housing supply.  Stamp duty is a barrier to housing mobility.  Social housing is essential for vulnerable populations.  Construction costs need to be addressed to improve housing supply.  Chapters  00:00 Understanding the Housing Crisis  03:28 The Role of Migration in Housing Demand  06:18 Challenges of Home Ownership and Renting  09:16 Government Responses and Solutions  11:59 The Importance of Building More Homes  15:02 Tax Policies and Their Impact on Housing  17:47 Social and Affordable Housing Needs  20:24 Construction Costs and Housing Supply  23:14 The Future of Housing Affordability  35:39 The Pressure Cooker of the Housing Market  38:00 Strategic Property Investment for Financial Independence  Links and Resources:   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us  Brendan Coates – Housing and Economic Security Program Director, Grattan Institute   Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au    Also, please subscribe to my new podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.  Shownotes plus more here: Housing Australia's Future: Grattan Institute's Brendan Coates on Policy, Migration, and Affordability

It's been a big week for housing policy. Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan both announced policies designed to boost housing supply. Our housing experts Brendan Coates and Matthew Bowes analyse the latest policies, and discuss what else could be done to ease the housing crisis.

Brendan Coates and Peter Martin join Democracy Sausage to discuss fixing the housing crisis, negative gearing and capital gains tax. There has been plenty of media coverage about the Labor government asking Treasury to review negative gearing and capital gains tax rules. So how did we get here? What are the political sensitivities and missed opportunities in tackling these housing tax concessions? And would the doom and gloom predictions become reality if changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax were made? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Brendan Coates and Peter Martin join Professor Mark Kenny to discuss housing policy. Brendan Coates is the Housing and Economic Security Program Director at Grattan Institute. Peter Martin AM is a Visiting Fellow at the ANU Crawford School of Public Policy and the Business and Economy Editor of The Conversation. Mark Kenny is the Director of the ANU Australian Studies Institute. He came to the University after a high-profile journalistic career including six years as chief political correspondent and national affairs editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times.

Negative gearing is back on the table with Jim Chalmers asking Treasury to model changes to property tax breaks. It's not a new proposal for Labor, with tax reform a hot political issue in the 2019 election. But at any mention of changes to negative gearing, landlords immediately voice concerns about losing income and having to sell up. Tenants raise issues about increasing rents. And first home buyers wonder if this will worsen their chances of getting into the market. In this podcast episode, housing experts Brendan Coates and Matthew Bowes make the case for curbing negative gearing and the capital gains tax, a change which could raise billions for the federal Budget and boost home ownership.

Skilled migrants contribute greatly to Australia's prosperity, shaping our diverse society, making us more productive, and boosting Australians' earnings and government's budgets. Points-tested visas account for almost two thirds of all permanent skilled visas issued by Australia over the past decade.  These visas allocate points to potential migrants based on characteristics such as  their age, proficiency in English, education and work experience.  Following current trends, 800, 000 people will be granted permanent residency through points-tested visas over the next decade.  But points-tested visas aren't working as well as they should. In this podcast, Brendan Coates, Trent Wiltshire, and Natasha Bradshaw discuss their new report, It all adds up: Reforming points-tested visas. They explain how reforming the points test and abolishing state and regional points-tested visa programs could yield big economic benefits for Australia.

What's Grattan's verdict on Budget 2024? CEO Aruna Sathanapally and a panel of Grattan experts, including Dr. Sam Bennett, Alison Reeve, and Brendan Coates, critically assess Australia's 2024 federal Budget. Has the government got the balance right in supporting people who are doing it tough, without exacerbating inflation? Does the Budget do enough to help fix the broken housing market and tackle Australia's structural budget deficit? And will the government's ‘Future Made in Australia' investments help or hinder our transition to net-zero emissions? Find out what the Budget means for you and the nation in this special podcast.

Through investor visas, older people with fewer skills enter the country, and through them the Australian government will have to incur indirect losses to the Australian government, explained Brendan Coates, director of economic policy programs at the Graton Institute A clarification was made.

On Wednesday, the Albanese government announced the biggest reforms to Australia's visa system in more than a decade. The government crackdown will see $50 million spent on tougher compliance and permanent investigation teams in a bid to stamp out criminal exploitation of the migration industry.  The new measures are part of the government's formal response to a report by former police commissioner Christine Nixon into the exploitation of the visa system.  Will the crackdown end the criminal activity rife in our visa system? Is former Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to blame for all of these problems, as the government claims? And what will the government do about migration more generally, what is the right balance and who gets to decide?  Plus we will check in on the voice campaign which has only one week left to run.  Chief political correspondent David Crowe and economic policy director at the Grattan Institute, Brendan Coates join Jacqueline Maley on Inside Politics.

Last year, the federal government struck a Housing Accord with the states. Together, they committed to build 1 million new, well-located homes across Australia over the next five years. But sky-rocketing rents have turned up the heat on governments to do much more. Last month, National Cabinet responded. The new target is 1.2 million homes over five years, with the federal government offering financial rewards to whichever states do the most to get us towards the new target. And the Prime Minister and the Premiers also promised a better deal for renters. Will it be enough? In this special Grattan Podcast, our housing experts Brendan Coates and Joey Moloney unpack the National Cabinet package, explain why it's important, and identify the next challenges for policy-makers as they struggle to make housing more affordable for more Australians.

The serious problem of migrant worker exploitation shot to prominence in 2015, when a joint Fairfax Media and Four Corners report uncovered widespread underpayment of 7-Eleven employees. Recent governments have taken some steps to reduce exploitation, such as increasing maximum penalties for firms that knowingly underpay their workers and making improvements to the small claims process. But these changes don't go far enough, and progress has stalled since the pandemic. Our new report, Short-changed: How to stop the exploitation of migrant workers in Australia, provides solutions to stamp out the exploitation of migrant workers. Trent Wiltshire, Deputy Program Director, discusses the report with co-authors Brendan Coates, Program Director, and Tyler Reysenbach, Associate. Read the report: https://grattan.edu.au/report/short-changed-how-to-stop-the-exploitation-of-migrant-workers-in-australia/

Housing is in crisis. Rents are surging. Interest rates continue to go up, with fears of another rate rise on the horizon. The 2023 federal Budget went some way to address the rising cost of living. But despite the increase to Rent Assistance, these policies don't go far enough to address the long-term lack of housing supply. Host Kat Clay is joined by Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director, and Joey Moloney, Senior Associate, to discuss why housing was the biggest missed opportunity in the federal Budget.

The federal government recently released their Review of the Migration System. The review has revealed a broken system in dire need of reform. To quote the report, “Australia now has a migration program that fails to attract the most highly skilled migrants and fails to enable business to efficiently access workers.” But how to fix it?

Less tax is paid on super savings than other forms of income. But if we want a fair and sustainable superannuation system, reform to super tax breaks is essential. On a recent podcast Grattan addressed the question of super tax breaks for balances with over $3 million. But reforming super is a much broader task, that if successful, will result in a fairer system which could repair the budget by billions. Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director, and Joey Moloney, Senior Associate, discuss their new report with host Kat Clay.

One of the biggest announcements of the October federal Budget was the National Housing Accord, with the goal to build one million new, well-located homes over five years from 2024. Host Kat Clay and Economic Policy Program Director, Brendan Coates, discuss this ambitious goal, and how it could ease the housing crisis. For more information, visit: https://grattan.edu.au/

L'Australie applique l'une des politiques migratoires les plus strictes au monde. Pourtant, il existe une parade, du moins pour ceux qui ont les poches bien remplies. Ils peuvent souscrire à un visa qu'on surnomme le « ticket doré », qui requiert d'investir plusieurs millions d'euros en Australie pour l'obtenir. Mais ce Visa pour investisseur conséquent, Significant Investor Visa, c'est son nom officiel, est dans le collimateur du gouvernement travailliste. Car contrairement à ce que laisseraient penser les sommes conséquentes que ces riches aspirants à l'immigration doivent injecter dans l'économie pour s'installer en Australie, ces derniers ont un impact négatif sur les finances publiques.  Avec notre correspondant à Sydney Une vie paisible et ensoleillée, c'est ce à quoi aspirent certains riches immigrés qui, pour s'installer en Australie, ont opté pour ce qu'on appelle le visa doré. Un titre de séjour permettant d'accéder à la résidence permanente. Et le seul pour lequel le gouvernement australien n'impose pas de limite d'âge, ni même de parler anglais. En revanche, il faut investir en Australie au moins 5 millions de dollars, soit près de trois millions et demi d'euros. Un apport qui n'est pas à la portée de toutes les bourses, mais qui contribue à faire prospérer l'Australie. C'est ce que pense Richard Yuan. Il est agent de migration et il a fait de cette clientèle sa spécialité : « Je pense que ces gens, en apportant leur expertise du monde des affaires et du capital, créent des emplois. » Depuis sa création en 2012, plus de 2 300 personnes ont obtenu ce visa, des Chinois dans 85% des cas. Ils ont injecté plus de 8 milliards d'euros en Australie. Pourtant, le gouvernement travailliste, arrivé au pouvoir en mai dernier, souhaite supprimer ce dispositif. C'est la ministre des Affaires intérieures, Clare O'Neil, qui en a parlé récemment dans une interview accordée à Sky News : « Je ne vois pas quels bénéfices ce visa apporte à notre pays actuellement. Par ailleurs, certains articles de presse ont souligné récemment qu'il posait des problèmes de sécurité. C'est pourquoi, je ne vois pas pourquoi nous devrions conserver ce visa dans notre politique migratoire. » La ministre faisait référence à un article paru en août, selon lequel plus de 80 hauts dignitaires du régime cambodgien, parmi lesquels le ministre des Finances et un général, ont pu obtenir ce visa doré et s'installer en Australie. Mais les opposants au visa doré notent également que ces immigrés fortunés coûtent plus qu'ils ne rapportent. C'est par exemple l'avis de Brendan Coates, chef économiste du Grattan Institute, qui vient de publier un rapport sur le sujet : « Comme les détenteurs de visas dorés sont plus âgés, moins qualifiés et qu'ils gagnent peu d'argent en Australie, ils coûtent en moyenne 120 000 dollars [80 000 euros] au cours de leur vie aux contribuables australiens, car ils ont un recours élevé à nos services publics, bien supérieur au montant des impôts qu'ils paient. Tandis que pour un immigré qualifié typique génère un solde fiscal positif d'environ 250 000 [170 000 euros] dollars au cours de sa vie. »  C'est donc sans surprise ces immigrés qualifiés, choisis pour leurs compétences professionnelles, mais aussi parce qu'ils sont jeunes et actifs, que le gouvernement souhaite attirer en priorité. Et ce alors qu'il vient d'annoncer qu'il allait relever de plus de 20% les quotas d'immigration, dans l'espoir de résorber la pénurie de main d'œuvre qui frappe actuellement l'Australie.

Last week, MPs, business leaders, unions, and economists met at the national Jobs and Skills Summit to discuss the future of the jobs market in Australia. High on the priority list were the skills shortages felt across Australian workplaces, increasing productivity, and improving the migration system. On this podcast, host Kat Clay interviews Grattan CEO, Danielle Wood, who gave the opening address at the summit. She is joined by Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director. Read Danielle's opening remarks from the conference: https://grattan.edu.au/news/think-big-a-new-mission-statement-for-australia/

With massive worker shortages across the country, migration is expected to feature heavily in the upcoming Jobs and Skills Summit, which brings together employers, unions, and governments to discuss the economic challenges facing Australia. Business groups are demanding the permanent migration intake be lifted to at least 200,000 for the next two years. Parts of the union movement have warned against relying too heavily on temporary migration, pointing to repeated cases of exploitation of migrant workers. Watch Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications, in conversation with Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director, discuss what the migration priorities for the government should be at the summit.

In 1992, the Keating Government passed the Superannuation Guarantee Act insuring at the time retirement savings to seventy two percent of workers. Thirty years on, as the super guarantee is about to increase, is it still the best way to ensure sufficient retirement income for all? Brendan Coates from the Grattan Institute discusses the pros and the cons. And how to twin efficiency and equity. Professor of Law Rosalind Dixon and Professor of Economics Richard Holden have proposed in their book reforms on how to make economies fairer through liberalism democracy. And you'll be surprised to know that Australia has many of the frameworks required.

“Stamp duty is the worst tax that any government can have,” says Dominic Perrottet, recently quoted in the ABC. But after talking up stamp duty reform for the past two years, the then NSW Treasurer now Premier Dominic Perrottet's grand plans ended less with a bang and more with a whimper. The government will allow first home buyers to opt to pay land tax rather than stamp duty. But it falls well short of the kind of reform many were hoping for. In this podcast, Kat Clay and Brendan Coates discuss why stamp duty is such a bad tax and why a land tax would be better, why the NSW government's efforts to replace one with the other fell short, and what other states should learn from the experience.

The NSW Government has announced plans to scrap the much-maligned stamp duty on property sales and replace it with an annual land tax. There are hopes it will ease the housing crisis, but whether it will reduce house prices is less certain.

Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director at Grattan Institute, said it would make people's lives a lot easier. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael is joined by Brendan Coates, Grattan Institute Economic Policy Program Director, who believes in recent years, governments have increasingly failed to implement reforms that have been recommended for decades… though one of the key political problems may now be solved. “Major tax reforms are increasingly weaponised in Australian politics. Which is why it's so remarkable that the NSW government is offering incoming federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers something money alone can't normally buy: genuine tax reform, but without the usual political headaches”, writes Mr Coates.

Two years on from the start of the pandemic, Australia's unemployment rate is now at a near 50-year low of just 4 per cent. The share of under-employed Australians – those in work but who want more hours – is at its lowest level in more than a decade. But what is full employment? Who benefits most when unemployment is low? And what lessons should we learn from our rapid economic recovery from the pandemic? Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications, discusses the latest Grattan report, No one left behind: why Australia should lock in full employment, with Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director, and Alex Ballantyne, Senior Associate. Read the report: https://grattan.edu.au/report/no-one-left-behind-why-australia-should-lock-in-full-employment/

Happy federal Budget day! Ahead of its release, we look at why you should care about it in the first place. The government will be spruiking its first home buyers scheme, so what's it like for young people who want to buy a home in the regions, where prices are sometimes rising faster than the capital cities? Plus, there's finally a very promising male contraceptive pill on the cards, so we speak to two of the scientists behind it. And we check in on Lismore, where heavy rain has prompted more evacuations - just weeks after the devastating and deadly floods. Live guests: Brendan Coates, Budget Policy and Institutional Reform Program Director at the Grattan Institute Professor Gunda Georg, University of Minnesota Abdullah Al Noman, University of Minnesota Vanessa Ekins, former mayor of Lismore

Jennifer speaks with Brendan Coates from the Grattan Institute about his report: A place to call home: It's time for a social housing future fund. The proposal is for a $20b future fund for the federal government to deliver 3,000 extra social housing units a year into perpetuity – 6,000 per year if matched by state governments.Seems like a good idea, but would it be enough? Could it create real systemic change?       

Part 1. Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director of the Grattan Institutes joins Burgernomics host Ross MacDowell to discuss why Australia is experiencing a housing price boom. Topics discussed are the effects of interest rates, bank lending policies, the Reserve Banks $4bn per week Quantitative Easing program, local government's restrictive policies limiting permits for new housing, the effects of COVID on the housing market, the home ownership market versus the rental market for those who don't qualify for mortgages, migrants demand for housing and the difficulty of younger people entering the housing market.

Earlier this month, The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, or APRA for short, wrote to home loan lenders across the country to recommend strengthening mortgage lending assessments. The reason for this? The explosive and rapid increase in housing prices due to extended lockdowns and low-interest rates, and a rapid growth in bank lending to buy them. Households are borrowing more money than ever to reach the extraordinary prices needed to secure a home. But is this the right move? Who does it help and who does it hurt? And will it be enough to restrain a market that doesn't show signs of slowing down any time soon. Or are there more changes yet to come? Join Kat Clay, Grattan's Head of Digital Communications, in conversation with Brendan Coates, on how to rein in property prices in Australia, and whether we should.

With half of the country in lockdown and Sydney just completing its third month, much has been made about the vaccination targets of 70% and 80% of eligible adults being our golden ticket to freedom. How much have these lockdowns affected the economy and the nation's mental health? Will Australia's strategy for reopening do the job of balancing health outcomes with growth and prosperity for all?  How well are we managing the health and the economic trade-offs - and what might the next few months look like? Grattan Institute's Economic Policy Program Director, Brendan Coates, joins us for a very colourful and informative discussion on Australia's plan to reopen, the strategy being used, how realistic it really is, the challenge with reaching the 80% vaccine rollout, plus so much more! We'll see you in the episode!   Episode Highlights: How realistic & effective are the steps to reopening the country? [02:32] Is “Covid Zero” now a thing of the past? [06:09] How quickly will we be able to get everyone vaccinated? [09:20] What about the UK's decision to reopen fully with a 70% vaccination rate? [14:42] Should we have gotten Covid out in the community to avoid burning ourselves in the end? [16:02] Thoughts on Labor's negative gearing policy [17:38] The challenge of getting to an 80% vaccination rollout [19:17]  Does stopping Covid rely so much on vaccinating kids? [22:36] How about top-ups and boosters? [24:37] Let's talk about vaccines available & their potency [24:56] Are we rushing vaccine shots too much just to get everyone through? [27:05] Anti-vax proponents & how much they impact the rest of the population [29:22] Did prioritizing physical health cause more mental health problems? [32:20] What we've lost to Covid, in an economic aspect [34:42] The debt impact of the pandemic [36:55] Migrant intake and impact when the borders reopen [40:49] The problem with reassuring people that the 80% rollout is our ‘ticket to freedom' [44:58] On estimate, when will we hit the 80% vaccine rollout? [48:57] Learning, observing & testing before moving to Phase D [51:31] How about people who die due to other causes that couldn't get an ICU bed? [53:52] What should be happening (that isn't) at a government level in terms of spending?

The economic cost of a lockdown in a major Australian city is estimated to be nearly $1 billion a week. Lockdowns are crippling the economy, and the small business community is taking a disproportionate hit.  A report published by the Australian think tank, Grattan Institute Race to 80: our best shot at living with COVID, has explained how the country could exit lockdown.  Brendan Coates is the Economic Policy Program Director at Grattan Institute.  Apply to be part of Survive & Thrive cast here Join the Facebook Group.

Compared to the rest of the world, Australia has fared incredibly well throughout the global COVID pandemic. We have had fewer cases and deaths than most countries, fewer days in lockdown, and one of the shortest recessions. But that's not to say maintaining this suppression strategy hasn't been easy. Sydney is experiencing a large Delta outbreak yet; Victoria just came out of its fifth lockdown. With only 14 per cent of Australians fully vaccinated, and vaccine supplies still constrained, it feels like there is no end in sight. Other countries like the UK and US are beginning to reopen and go back to life as normal, yet Australia is still shut off from the rest of the world. But the good news is, vaccines give us a way out. The wonder of vaccines is that they can carry us out of this mess to a world where lockdowns are no longer needed, and COVID is not a major public health threat. Join Tom Crowley, Will Mackey, Anika Stobart, and Brendan Coates, as they discuss their latest report Race to 80: our best shot at living with COVID, and how Australia can end lockdowns and start to reopen its border once 80 per cent of the population is vaccinated.

Medical practice marketing is just one of the many subjects special guest Brendan Coates is an expert on. He describes how functional medicine practitioners can better market their practices and build a passive income. How medical practice marketing benefits your business How to create a scalable marketing strategy How to build a course Why passive income is essential to FM practitioners A few reasons why patients may not be responsive to you The Gut Whisperer Brendan Coates, RHN, CGP, is a clinical nutritionist, author, teacher, speaker, and PhD candidate in nutrition. With his experience building thriving online businesses, Brendan is also an expert marketer. He has an overwhelming desire to spread his message throughout the world and teach everyone that they can have a healthy life free from GI problems. Due to his incredible passion for gut health, Brendan is fondly known as The Gut Whisperer, and he hopes that one day his message will be spread throughout the world. Today, on the FM Shift, Brendan teaches us about the importance of medical practice marketing and how functional medicine practitioners can create a marketing strategy that helps them find more patients. Creating Passive Income When it comes to functional medicine, every doctor has a limit to how many patients they can take on. So when you're at capacity, it can be challenging to see how you can make more money. After all, you can't clone yourself (yet)! So how do you scale your business and spread your message to help more people when there's only one of you? The answer may be more straightforward than you think. Take a moment right now to think about all of the questions your patients ask you regularly. What questions do you hate repeating over and over again, seemingly every day without any reprieve? Whatever those questions you notice you're growing tired of answering, those will be the foundation of your first blog, pamphlet, ebook, or course. By creating this reference guide, you can direct patients to your video rather than repeating yourself endlessly and simultaneously build your first tool for medical practice marketing and passive income. Once you have the topics in mind, you can further expand on the subject by creating ebooks, courses, pamphlets, and more. The possibilities are endless! And don't forget that you can repeat this process with any number of subjects. Surround Yourself with Like-minded People As functional medicine practitioners, the world can sometimes feel a little lonely. You have to run your business, create medical practice marketing strategies, hire employees, and see your patients all on your own, and that's just stating the obvious job responsibilities. But even with all these tasks we're responsible for, that doesn't mean we have to suffer alone. There are plenty of functional medicine practitioners who want to connect and feel supported. Having that sense of camaraderie is one of the most important aspects of your business, especially in this new normal when so many are struggling. It's not just about forging friendships, though. When we surround ourselves with like-minded people, we can build a stronger business. Creating connections in the industry can help you build a stronger business and even help you build the confidence you need to make your business thrive. When you have the support, especially from a mentor who has been where you are now, you start to see yourself and the world in an entirely different light, and that world usually looks a whole lot better.

Chances are, if you’re on the market for a new property, or are trying to sell, you might have noticed how bonkers the Australian property market is right now. Queues of thirty people at open inspections isn’t unheard of in metropolitan areas, and prices are skyrocketing due to demand. It’s an unexpected outcome - the start of the COVID pandemic saw predictions that house prices would fall 10-to-20 per cent. One year on and Australian house prices are now surging at their fastest rate since 2003. After all the talk of crashing house prices a year ago, it’s enough to give would-be homebuyers whiplash. Listen to Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications, and Brendan Coates, Household Finances Program Director, tackle the very real problem of housing affordability.

Australia’s border closure was one of the Morrison Government’s best decisions in responding to the pandemic. It was a big decision, but the right one. Tight border controls have given Australia the best of both worlds: little community transmission and a domestic economy largely unencumbered by COVID. Now, Victoria has just emerged from a five day lockdown caused by a breach in hotel quarantine. That follows similar breaches in Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth over the summer months. At the same time there have been fresh calls each week for more people to arrive in Australia from overseas. Citizens unable to return home. Universities desperate for international students to return. Workers from the Pacific to pick the harvest, otherwise left to rot in the fields. So, how can we fix hotel quarantine? And what do the current arrangements mean for migration in the coming months? Listen to Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications, in conversation with Brendan Coates, Household Finances Program Director, and Henry Sherrell, Migration Fellow, about how to fix the hotel quarantine system.

Welcoming back Brendan Coates to discuss the implications of the government plan for home buyers to access super to assist in purchasing property. Brendan is the Household Finance Program Director at the Grattan institute, he has focused on a wide variety of topics including tax reform, housing and superannuation. In this episode the team and Brendan discuss the implications of accessing super and that if putting your super towards a property purchase will get you ahead or put you behind?Here's what we covered: What has the biggest impact on retirement - owning home or superannuation? What is not working for the system currently? How have first home buyers struggled in the past 30 years? Why should people stop and think before taking out super?

The increase in the compulsory superannuation contribution, legislated to rise next July from 9.5% to 10%, is being fiercely debated following the release of the retirement income report. In this podcast we hear the views of Brendan Coates, Director of the Household Finances Program at the Grattan Institute and Greg Combet, former Labor minister, and chair of Industry Super Australia. Coates, who opposes the July and later scheduled rises, says ultimately the money comes out of the worker's pay because employers will increase wages more slowly. Coates argues the present superannuation arrangements are adequate for most retirees who own their homes, and will be in the future.  Although he says retirees potentially face financial stress if renting, Coates wouldn't favour letting people dip willy nilly into their super for a deposit on their first home. But "if the rate of compulsory super goes to 12% as legislated, I think the right answer is not ... to let them take out their super for housing, it's to let them take out anything above 9.5% each year" for any purpose. Combet flatly opposes the use of super accounts for housing. "If we are concerned about housing affordability and trying to lift the level of home ownership in the country, you don't go and cannibalise another part of the retirement income system, the superannuation system.  "You address the issues of housing supply. You address the issues of housing affordability, and you can take some specific public policy measures for helping first home buyers." In response to the criticism that higher contributions will diminish wage growth, Combet says: "Let's go back to the 90's. Paul Keating promised to get to a 12% super guarantee. John Howard froze it... No compensating pay rises that are discernible anywhere."

The government's review into retirement incomes highlighted that increasing the superannuation guarantee will come at the expense of wage growth. Brendan Coates from the Grattan Institue agrees its one of the trade-offs in retirement income policies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week the Victorian Government announced a $5.4 billion dollar Big Housing Build, billed as a ‘landmark investment in social housing.’ The plan will build more than 12, 000 new homes in Victoria, including more than 9300 new social housing properties, and upgrades to existing public housing facilities. Likewise Western Australia, Tasmania, and NSW have all announced social housing building projects as part of their economic recovery strategies. But why is building social housing both an economic and societal win? Listen to Brendan Coates, Household Finances Program Director, in conversation with Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications, on why social housing is good stimulus.

Homeownership in Australia is declining, with the biggest drop happening for young people. But the good news to come out of the Federal Budget this week is that the Government has added an extra 10,000 places to its First Home Loan Deposit Scheme which allows singles or couples to buy their first home with a deposit of only five per cent and the government acting as guarantor for the loan. This gets rid of the need for lender's mortgage insurance.   Today we're joined by Federal Minister for Housing Michael Sukkar to talk us through how the scheme works, and Brendan Coates from The Grattan Institute on whether he thinks the scheme will be enough to get young people into the housing market   In today's news headlines: Labor throws support behind tax cuts Some Uni course fees set climb after a minor party signed off on planned reforms Spike in Overseas Covid cases, while new cases in NSW cast doubt on QLD border to be reopened.   Follow The Briefing Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast  Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAU Twitter: @TheBriefingAU  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, we move the conversation away from national and global news, to what matters most: your household finances. Back in episode 89 we interviewed Brendan Coates, Household Finances Program Director at the Grattan Institute, and he joins us in this episode to explore the various issues currently affecting households: unemployment, access to super, wages and financial buffers, as well as how the small factors you might not be considering are growing behind the curtain. Here's what we covered: How many Australians have lost their jobs? With restrictions loosening, who will be going back to work and who won't? Businesses going down the gurgler is more detrimental to the economy than unemployment? What are the long term implications of young professionals being unemployed? Should you access your future? How much does the average Australian have saved? Where should your money be during low interest rates?  Who is most protected?` How are companies pivoting their business model to survive the pandemic? How will the government balance the lack of immigration this year for the future benefits? When will the vaccine be available and how will it impact your ability to work?

Australia has done better than most countries in limiting the spread of COVID-19. The health crisis is not over, but attention is now turning to the ‘road out’ of the economic shutdown. There are lots of uncertainties. What are the costs of relaxing too late – or too early? Should schools be reopened, and under what conditions? What parts of the economy should be taken out of lockdown, in what order, and with what changes? How much should we prioritise restoring social activities? Well before governments imposed restrictions, many people started spatial distancing. Irrespective of what governments permit, recovery depends on whether individuals choose to go back to work and to resume social activities. As with the COVIDsafe app, much depends on whether governments can win back public trust. In this Grattan Webinar recording, a panel of policy experts provided perspective on these questions, and nominate Australia’s best strategy from here. Featuring John Daley, Marion Terrill, Stephen Duckett, Brendan Coates and Paul Austin.

Between 14 and 26 per cent of Australian workers could be out of work as a direct result of the coronavirus shutdown, and the crisis will have an enduring impact on jobs and the economy for years to come. Listen to Brendan Coates, Grattan's Household Finances Program Director, in discussion with Matt Cowgill, Senior Associate, and Paul Austin, Editor, about the impact of the COVID-19 shutdown and what policies could help support Australians through the crisis.

The retirement incomes system works well for most, but fails too many poorer Australians, especially low-income women and retirees who rent. Listen to Brendan Coates, Household Finances Program Director, Jonathan Nolan, Associate, and Paul Austin, Editor, unpack the complexities of retirement incomes policy.

It’s a common assumption that compulsory superannuation comes out of workers’ wages. But is it true? With compulsory super set to rise from 9.5 percent to 12 percent by July 2025, it’s timely to ask who is going to foot the bill. Employers or employees? And what does this mean for your future salary? Listen to Brendan Coates, Household Finances Program Director, and Matt Cowgill, Senior Associate discuss their latest working paper No Free Lunch: Higher superannuation means lower wages.

According to research from Westpac the average age of a first homebuyer has increased in the last 20 years from 27 to 33, and despite the trope that Millennials want to be urban dwelling hipsters, only 20 per cent planned to buy in the inner city, with most opting for the suburbs or even house and land packages further out.We do know that the bank of mum and dad is significant. In 2017, a third of first home buyers intended to get help from family to fund a purchase, with 13 per cent planning to ask a parent to go guarantor.In this episode, Brendan Coates, household finances director from the Grattan Institute and child of the 80s, joins Peter Switzer, one of Australia’s most experienced finance commentators to explore whether Millennials are doing it all that tough, and what solutions exist to the challenges for first home buyers. From changes to tax and super policy, to the Manhattanisation of our major cities and the accompanying nimby-ism, this episode will grapple with either side of this heated debate.

A conversation with Australian Perspectives Fellow, Brendan Coates. Australia’s retirement income system is not working for the poorest Australians, who are disproportionately women. Australia has a persistent gender gap in retirement savings and incomes. This means that women, particularly single women, are at greater risk of poverty, housing stress and homelessness in retirement.
