New research has confirmed one of the greatest scandals in Australian real estate – the reality that taxes and charges from the three levels of governments comprise between 40% and 50% of the cost of creating new homes. At a time when Australia is experiencing its greatest ever housing crisis - marked by shortages of homes, poor affordability, escalating rents and increasingly high construction costs - it's outrageous that anyone building a new house on a small block of land will be paying a huge percentage of the cost to government. Taxes, fees and charges make up almost 50% of the cost of a house-and-land package in Sydney. In Brisbane and Melbourne, it's between 40% and 45%. Recently published data from the ABS and the HIA show that the median price for a residential home site in our capital cities is now over $400,000 – but over $700,000 in Sydney. The average cost of building a basic house on that very small but expensive block of land is around $540,000, according to the official figures. Add those figures together. It means that the typical cost of a new house and land package in our cities is now around $950,000. It's getting scarily close to a million dollars. In Sydney it's already well over a million dollars. And if you're building that new house-and-land package in Sydney it's costing around $1.2 million and up to half of that is taxes, fees and charges from government. If you're building a new home in Melbourne or Brisbane, you're spending well over $900,000 and over $400,000 is going into government coffers. Think about that. If you eliminated the government impost component of a new house and land package, it would cost around $600,000 in our biggest city. Imagine being able to buy a brand new house in Sydney for $600,000.  In Brisbane it could be less than $500,000.  Remember those figures, next time you see politicians standing in front of television cameras claiming they care about the affordability problems and want to fix the housing crisis. Politicians have caused this crisis in myriad different ways and this is one of the biggest of all: they milk the housing industry for revenue and in doing so, they massively inflate the cost of creating new homes in this country. All three levels of government use housing as a cash cow and they're adding massively to the cost of new homes – to the point that young buyers can no longer afford to build their dream home.

One of the many ways media misinforms Australian consumers is their misunderstanding of the difference between building approvals and actual construction of new dwellings. Right now, at a time when we have major dwelling shortages and construction costs are so incredibly high, there is a very important distinction between the number of dwelling approvals and the number of homes actually being built. The difference between the two is quite stark and it speaks to the biggest single problem amid the housing crisis – approvals often are not translating into actual construction of homes, because building costs are prohibitive and projects are simply not viable. The latest official figures portrayed a significant rise in the number of new housing approvals – and many in news media completely misrepresented what that meant. One headline by News Corp, the nation's biggest median organisation, shouted: Total housing construction reaches record high on new apartments The article began with: “The total value of new homes being built or homeowners making alternations hit a record high in January.” And that was all highly misleading. The ABS data, in fact, said there was a rise in approvals for new dwellings and for alterations and additions. ABS head of construction statistics Daniel Rossi said the total number of dwellings approved in January rose 6.3% to 16,579, following a 1.7% increase in December. Rossi said: that approvals for units and townhouses drove the overall rise, up 12.7%, to the highest level since December 2022. The journalist who wrote that inaccurate headline and introduction should have known better because the article quoted a senior AMP economist pointing out that there remained a big gap between building approvals and completions, and between the number of new homes and the annual target of 240,000. The Australian Financial Review made the same mistake with its headline: The development tide has turned on apartments AFR said: “Australia's apartment slump has passed the worst, after new figures showed approvals of new apartments, townhouses and semidetached homes turning positive on a yearly basis for the first time in almost 2 ½ years. The AFR quoted several economists at length, declaring that the worst was over and it augured well for the future in addressing the housing shortage. You have to wonder whether economists speak to anyone in the real world or just look at numbers on their computer screens. The reality is that approvals are almost meaningless – many approved developments are not proceeding because they are not financially viable. And that is because the costs of building are so high and buyers cannot or will not pay the price developers would have to charge for the end product. As HIA economist Maurcie Tapang said: “Despite modest improvements in housing approvals, Australia continues to face a significant shortfall in housing supply.” HIA is calling on the Federal Government in the lead-up to the Federal Election to help remove the barriers to new housing supply. And that includes the factors articulated in the recent report from the Productivity Commission, which noted that it's taking twice as long to produce new homes compared to 30 years ago. The commission said poor productivity was largely caused by bureaucratic red tape, cost impositions by government and high levels of taxation – which had rendered many approved projects too expensive to build.

On this episode we check back in Chris Boucher, who was originally on the program in July of 2022. Boucher is a hemp industry OG. In 1990, he was first introduced to hemp by Jack Herer himself in, author of the book that jumpstarted the hemp movement in America, The Emperor Wears No Clothes. In 1994 Boucher was issued a permit from the USDA to grow fiber hemp in California, but his crop was destroyed before harvest by local drug enforcement agents. He was a founding member of the Hemp Industries Association and was part of the landmark case HIA vs. DEA that established the legality of CBD. But these days, Boucher's hemp endeavor is JuiceTiva, a cold-pressed hemp juice powder rooted in the nutritional potential of hemp leaves and flowers. Boucher shares his opinions of the state of hemp in California, which he says has the worst hemp regulations of any state in the union, citing Governor Newsom's recent banning of hemp products and the structure of the state and county agriculture departments. He describes a situation in California where the marijuana industry is battling the hemp industry for dominance in the intoxicating cannabinoid arena.

The aerospace industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by record demand for commercial jets, defence programmes and space exploration. To seize this opportunity, suppliers must find ways to ramp up output without compromising quality, innovation, or cost. By Will Stirling The biggest hurdle facing the aerospace industry is how to scale up production. Airlines are investing heavily in new fleets, governments are increasing spending on advanced defence systems, and private companies are pushing the frontiers of space exploration and satellite technology. While this growth is a welcome rebound after years of turbulence, it has exposed bottlenecks in the supply chain, exacerbated by rising operational costs, material shortages and evolving regulatory requirements. Nowhere is this challenge clearer than in the commercial aircraft backlog, which has ballooned to nearly 16,000 planes – valued at more than £250bn for the UK alone. At current production rates, clearing this backlog could take over a decade. Meanwhile, demand continues to climb as airlines place hundreds of new orders yearly. Yet, this pressure brings opportunity. “The fact I can't name another industry with a 10-year-plus backlog worth over US$1.5 trillion globally shows just how massive the growth trend is,” says Balaji Srimoolanathan, Director for Aerospace, Space and the Aerospace Growth Partnership at ADS. “The primes and top tiers are diversifying their suppliers, sustainability is becoming ever-more critical, and new technologies are accessible and affordable. There is more business to be won by a greater number of suppliers than ever before, adding up to more opportunities, particularly for those with the right tools and technologies in place.” Srimoolanathan explains that the key to unlocking these opportunities lies in integrating advanced capabilities, such as intelligent manufacturing systems, into today's production processes. This move has been proven to drive greater efficiency and agility without comprising stringent quality standards. Digital Innovation in Action As production ramps up, shortages of critical components like semiconductors, electronics and raw materials like aluminium and titanium continue to cause delays. The pandemic's ripple effects are still being felt, slowing assembly lines and affecting deliveries. Even seemingly minor components, such as fasteners, are in short supply. Recognising this, LISI Aerospace partnered with the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) to explore how digital tools can drive process improvements. Together, they developed a cutting-edge smart production line at LISI's Rugby facility. The pilot line integrates five connected factory machines, each handling a distinct process. Key innovations include sensor data and data analytics to predict component quality, alongside an expanded apprenticeship programme to support new roles like software developers and data analysts. The result is a more than 100% performance improvement, enabling the Rugby site to hit record turnover and win additional contracts worth over £2m. The project also spurred a dedicated process development department, created a dozen new jobs and paved the way for a further £6.5m investment to implement two more connected production lines by 2027. An AMRC spokesperson said the project demonstrates how industrial digital technologies can transform operations. The success has ‘set a new benchmark for fastener production processes' and clearly shows the potential of technology-driven innovation in aerospace. Process Improvements Within Constraints While LISI's collaboration showcases the benefits of innovation, industry-wide progress is often hampered by a reliance on established processes and materials. “The industry is built on aircraft and parts certified to specific production techniques, many of which were designed decades ago,” explains Andrew Mair, Chief Executive of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance (MAA). While this reliance on legacy methods may limit flexibility in core manufacturing processes, there's significant scope for improvements in areas that run parallel to assembly. Upgrading to integrated software platforms for production planning, resource management and inventory tracking, for example, is an area where many smaller manufacturers lag, yet can unlock substantial efficiency gains. Similarly, using robotics and automation to move materials or load machines can streamline operations and reduce manual labour and downtime. Design innovations also hold promise. Advances in simulation and digital twin technologies allow suppliers to optimise components and assemblies before physical production, compressing design cycles and identifying potential issues earlier. Generative design, where AI-driven software explores thousands of potential configurations, is helping create lighter, stronger, more cost-efficient components. Combined with additive manufacturing, suppliers can prototype and produce highly complex parts faster and, importantly, with significantly less waste than traditional ‘subtractive' machining. For instance, Airbus and Autodesk have used generative design and additive manufacturing to produce the world's largest 3D-printed cabin component. Inspired by cellular structures and bone growth, the latticed partition to separate the passenger cabin from the galley is structurally as strong as conventional designs but 45% (30kg) lighter. When scaled to the entire cabin, Airbus estimates that the new design approach could save up to 465,000 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions a year. Government Backing Fuels Further Investment Recognising the transformative potential of advanced technologies, recent government announcements are geared towards accelerating adoption. One such initiative is the expansion of Made Smarter, an industry-government programme aimed at helping SME manufacturers adopt technology and build digital skills. Since its 2019 launch in the North West, Made Smarter has engaged with 2,500 manufacturers, funded over 330 technology projects, created more than 1,500 jobs and upskilled nearly 2,800 workers. Its upcoming national rollout to all nine English regions by 2025/26, followed by Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2026/27, will extend those benefits to thousands of manufacturers across the UK. “The programme has proven the value technology and digital skills can bring,” says Donna Edwards, Director of Made Smarter NW, who described the national roll-out as “a huge vote of confidence in the contribution SMEs make to UK manufacturing.” Additionally, the government's announcement of £975m to extend the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) programme to 2030 was welcomed – although many favoured a longer-term commitment. With matching industry contributions, the funding will exceed £2bn, providing critical support for ultra-efficient and zero-carbon technologies. “This support for R&D is crucial at a time the sector is ramping up rates to meet today's demand while delivering ambitious technology programmes to bring next-generation aircraft technologies to reality,” says Gary Elliott, CEO of ATI. Plotting a Sustainable Flight Path The UK is making significant strides in sustainable aviation. The latest development saw a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate come into force on New Year's Day. The mandate requires that 2% of UK jet fuel demand be met by SAF, rising to 10% by 2030 and 22% by 2040—delivering up to 6.3 megatons of carbon savings annually. The mandate will be bolstered by the introduction of a revenue certainty mechanism to de-risk investments in new SAF plants and provide the confidence needed to scale domestic production. The potential of hydrogen-powered aviation is also gaining momentum, with Russ Dunn, GKN Aerospace CTO, recently named as the new chair of the Hydrogen in Aviation Alliance. The HIA's first major report, published in 2024, outlined a clear roadmap for industry and government to drive adoption. Yet, realising this vision requires more robust support for R&D, particularly within the manufacturing supply chain. Andrew Mair explains that nearly all the R&D support currently goes to large corporations or start-ups, leaving the existing supply chain underserved. “We need more regionalised support, particularly for clusters like the Midlands Aerospace Alliance, to ensure small companies get the backing they need.” Srimoolanathan of ADS underscores that aerospace is uniquely positioned to deliver immediate and long-term benefits for the UK economy. “The backlog presents an opportunity for short-term growth, job creation and technological advancement,” he says. “But this hinges on balancing the immediate demands of today with strategic investments in areas like zero-emission technologies. With sustained support, the UK can maintain its position as a global aerospace leader while delivering tangible economic and environmental benefits.”

There are multiple reasons why Australia has a housing shortage and why the numbers of new dwellings needed are simply not being built. This is something I have spoken about regularly in the past and will continue to do so, as it's the core issue creating problems for real estate consumers of all kinds – home buyers, investor buyers and tenants. Here are the latest events and announcements which help to explain why we have a housing shortage with rising prices and rising rents, problems which are not going to be fixed in the foreseeable future … ITEM 1 – BUREAUCATIC DELAYS: Sydney councils are sitting on backlog of almost 8,500 unresolved development applications and requests for development certificates, according to NSW government data. There are over 5,000 unresolved development applications across the Greater Sydney area, plus 3,300 active “complying development certificates”. Five councils each have more than 300 local development applications that are waiting to be finalised. Data from the Department of Planning Housing and Infrastructure lists the Inner West Council as the worst offender, with 456 “active” DAs waiting for a determination. The Northern Beaches, Hills Shire and Cumberland Councils also have major backlogs. Thousands more “complying development certificates” are also adding to the backlog, despite being designed to give faster approvals to developments that meet certain requirements. Some councils are taking more than a year to approve homes. And some developers are waiting up to a decade for projects to be approved. In my view, one of the core issues is that many councils have a NIMBY attitude to development, especially high-density residential. They simply don't want developments to be built and do everything they can to frustrate builders. ITEM 2 – NOT FINANCIALLY VIABLE: In Perth, the rate of apartment completions has dropped to its lowest levels since records began in the 1980s. A new Property Council report says that, to meet the housing targets set by the National Housing Accord, WA would need to be delivering five times the number of apartments per year that it currently is. The Sky High report says there are more than 10,000 apartments approved for WA but effectively on hold and unable to be constructed. The major issue is that projects are just not financially viable – because the cost of delivering an apartment is generally higher than the market is willing to pay, so projects simply don't stack up. Only luxury apartments are economically viable projects. The report blames climbing construction costs - driven by labour shortages and competition for labour from government and mining sectors. The report says: “Developers are reporting that construction cost estimates are now almost double the cost of similar developments five years ago.”  The Property Council expects that costs will climb even higher as the new national construction code and bargaining agreements imposed by government take effect. This is problem not only in Perth but right across Australia. Developers are scrapping unit projects because the costs are so high, making them financially unviable. The Australian Construction Industry Forum says it's a worrying trend for a country that needs more, denser homes – not only apartment towers but medium-rise and townhouse developments in existing suburbs – to tackle the chronic undersupply of housing and to ensure longer-term affordability. The forum's Construction Forecasting Council chair and chief economist Nerida Conisbee says: “It's very, very expensive to build apartments. Many projects aren't going ahead.” ITEM 3 – WORKER SHORTAGES: A recent report reveals that Australia needs 130,000 additional workers to combat labour shortages in the construction sector. This has prompted calls for rapid reforms from both federal and state governments to attract and retain skilled labour. The report says the nation is on track, in 2024, for the worst year in new home builds in over a decade, with an 9 per cent decline in new building starts, totalling just 158,000 when it needs to be 240,000 per year to meet the Federal Government's fanciful target of 1.2 million new homes in five years. Construction starts for detached houses have dropped by 10 per cent, while higher-density projects have declined by 6 per cent. If this pace continues, Australia could see fewer than 800,000 new home starts over the five years, leading to a shortfall of over 400,000 homes compared to the National Housing Accord target. The decline in apprenticeship numbers further compounds this crisis, with completions down 8 per cent and commencements down 12 per cent in the past year.  ITEM 4 – POLITICAL POLICIES: The Housing Industry Association says a home building recovery is possible because buyer demand is rising, but state government housing policies risk stalling the revival. HIA Senior Economist, Matt King, says demand for new homes nationally is accelerating - largely due to high population growth, low unemployment, stable incomes and the absence of interest rate rises for the past year. King says activity generally is picking up, but there are big differences across capital city and regional markets. Sydney remains an outlier and there is still no indication of a near-term rebound in residential building in the big city. King says: “New home building in the Sydney basin remains exceptionally low, primarily due to high land prices and excessive housing taxes and infrastructure charges.” Australia-wide, the HIA says the detached home building sector looks promising, but the unit sector remains constrained and is unlikely to experience recovery before mid-2025.  King says: “The sector continues to be dampened by skilled labour shortages, business credit constraints and the aftermath of significant building material cost escalation.  “The extent of the recovery in new home building will be determined by the ability of governments to ease the barriers to home building. “Recent state government plans to increased surcharges on foreign investors and introduce taxes on short-term rental accommodation are unhelpful at a time when stability is needed to achieve the target of 1.2 million homes.” King says the rate of home building is being slowed down by government failure to implement policies such as expedited land releases, concessions on property taxation, and accelerated development approval time frames. ITEM 5 – HIGH LAND COSTS:  The rapidly prising cost of home sites is one of the biggest barriers to easing the housing shortage. New figures for South East Queensland indicate that the cost of residential home sites has jumped by as much as $120,000 in a year – up 21 per cent in one LGA where it now costs as much for a block of land as the median home did just two years ago. This is the City of Brisbane LGA where land prices rose 8.7 per cent in the September quarter alone, pushing the median price of a block of land to $685,000 – which is $3,000 more than what an established home cost in this area in June 2022. The second biggest annual surge in land prices occurred in the City of Ipswich where the median block rose 15 er cent or by $48,000 to hit $360,000, with the third fastest pace set by Moreton Bay, where prices rose by 10 percent to $415,000. The cheapest blocks of land in South East Queensland are in Logan City in Brisbane's south, where a third of SEQ land sales are now occurring – with the median price at $350,000 after a rise of almost 10 percent across the year.  The Gold Coast had the second highest SEQ land price at $619,000, after an 8 percent rise in the past year. So, you can imagine what a new house on a block of land costs, when the land alone costs well over $600,000 – as it does in the City of Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. Why does it cost so much? Primarily because of bureaucratic delays, governments taxes fees and charges, and high interest rates – all problems created by our elected representatives.  

In this episode, Mat talks with ⁠Simon Croft⁠, Chief Executive of Industry & Policy at the ⁠Housing Industry Association (HIA)⁠, about Australia's current housing challenges. They discuss HIA's role, the property market slowdown, rising building costs, and the impact of infrastructure projects.

It's been a big week in the building industry and sometimes we're not quite sure how to feel, which is why we want to break down some of the big changes we've noticed and what they could mean down the line!To kick things off, there's been widespread concern about the Coalition's proposal to freeze updates to the National Construction Code (NCC) for the next decade. This plan, with apparent backing from industry heavyweights like the Housing Industry Association (HIA) and Master Builders, triggered a rollercoaster of feelings. Honestly, on the day we heard the news, we were disappointed and angry, but now we've had more time to calm down and contemplate the future. An important part of the discussion was breaking down the role that industry associations like Master Builders and HIA play, and the influence they wield. While these organisations undoubtedly contribute positively in many ways — offering legal support, help with contracts, and education programs — there's an unsettling feeling about their stance on this matter. At their core, these organisations represent builders and tradespeople, not consumers, but it doesn't always feel like they are. Considering the current indusrty landscape, we strongly advocate for licensing all tradespeople. It not only holds individuals responsible but enhances the overall quality of work within the industry.More than anything though, we believe in the strength of collaboration. Organisations like the Sustainable Builders Alliance, Master Builders, and even consumer education groups have the potential to foster significant positive change when they come together.While we haven't tied up every loose end in this conversation, what's important is that the dialogue continues. Together we can build the future we want to see, so reach out and keep this conversation going!

We talk with HIA future workforce executive director Geordan Murray about the major problem with reaching new builds in Australia. The tradie current work force is not enough to reach the new home builds the government has set.

The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data has recorded a decline in the number of dwelling approvals across the country. Total dwelling approvals saw a drop of 6.1 per cent in the month of August, at a time when Australia needs to be building a lot more homes. According to ABS head of construction statistics, Daniel Rossi, private dwellings excluding houses were the main contributor to the decline – in other words, there has been a big decrease in approvals for attached dwellings like units and townhouses. This has resulted in a 16.5 per cent fall in approvals for those types of attached dwellings. Furthermore, the value of total residential building fell 6.7 per cent to $7.96 billion while the value of non-residential building rose 11.5 per cent to $5.30 billion. The numbers suggest that there's a lot of construction projects happening in Australia but not enough of them are new dwellings in a nation that has a severe shortage. A lot of government resources are being directed into big infrastructure projects, and a lot of tradespeople are working on these projects, when the nation really needs these resources to be going into building new homes. One of the measures of construction activity in Australia is the number of cranes on the skyline. The infrastructure boom has pushed the total of non-residential cranes across the nation to a record 370, while slumping investment in new housing has reduced the number of residential cranes to a two-year low in the latest report on the country's construction sector. The infrastructure boom is keeping construction costs high and making it harder for private projects to stack up, according to Domenic Schiafone, the head of research for quantity surveying firm RLB, which produced the report. Other data shows that in the 2024 financial year, the number of new homes built in Australia fell 9% to the lowest level since 2011. If the current rate of building continues, Australia will build around 800,000 over five years, when the Federal Government target is 1.2 million new homes – a figure that was never realistic and looks, now, increasingly fanciful. HIA chief economist Tim Reardon agrees there are many challenges making dwelling development difficult. According to Reardon, rising taxes for foreign investors and rising regulatory costs generally are negatively impacting building approval figures. Reardon notes that house approvals in Perth and Brisbane are faring much better than in Sydney and Melbourne.  He says confidence in the Melbourne new home market has been adversely impacted by two new taxes, while policy debates generated by recent Federal Government actions are making it harder for the industry to achieve the national target of 1.2 million new homes. Reardon says: “Recent discussions on negative gearing and capital gains tax arrangements for residential property are undermining confidence in new home building. The government's focus should be on lowering the taxes, regulatory costs and excessive charges that make up as much as 50 per cent of the final cost of a house and land package.” That's worth repeating – that, in some parts of Australia, up to half of the cost of a house and land package comprises the taxes, fees and charges imposed by government. The official figures show that total housing starts for the year to June totalled about 159,000, which is 81,000 homes short of the 240,000 the country needs to be building each year to meet the government's increasingly aspirational 1.2 million-home target over the five years to 2029. If building continues at this pace, Australia will build less than 800,000 new homes over the next five years – 400,000 short of the government's target.  

There's endless commentary about housing affordability in Australia but very little awareness that the fundamental issue is the high cost of creating new homes – and that our politicians are the cause of the problem. The value of dwellings across the nation is underpinned by the cost in building new ones – and, in Australia, that cost is incredibly, ridiculously high. And it's high because of the policies of our elected representatives, at all levels of government, but particularly state government politicians. Right now, after massive increases in building costs in recent years, you cannot build a new house in Sydney, for example, for less than half a million dollars. A new study has found that the minimum cost of building a Sydney house is $2,300 per square metre – and based on the average size of a new house in New South Wales, that means the cheapest you can build the standard brick and tile house is $550,000. Now, Sydney is the most expensive capital city in Australia to build a new home, but it's not significantly cheaper elsewhere. Research published earlier this year by Master Builders Australia found that the average cost of building a new house nationwide was $490,000 – having increased 53% in the past three years. Keep in mind that that figure does not include the cost of the land – just the construction cost for the average brick and tile new house. Master Builders said the cost of building homes had been inflated by higher government taxes, new government regulations which have added massively to the cost of construction, bureaucratic delays in getting building approvals, the increasing cost of materials and the shortage of tradespeople. Tradies are in short supply primarily because so many are now working on big-ticket government infrastructure projects and are no longer available to work in the home building industry. Keep in mind, all the figures I have quoted relate to the cost of construction and do not include land cost. According to the recent study on Sydney home construction costs, the average price of vacant residential land in Sydney is over $640,000. However, it depends on where you buy land and you may have to pay far more than that, especially in established suburbs. It means that establishing a new house on a block of land can typically cost more than a million dollars in Sydney. It's cheaper, but still incredibly expensive, elsewhere in Australia. I have had recent conversations with a number of builders and developers of residential estates – people doing projects in outer-ring areas of capital cities and in regional towns – and they all say the same thing: they cannot produce a new house on a (very small) block of land for less than $750,000. I have also spoken to the head of one of the largest development companies in Queensland who says the biggest cost escalations in the residential property industry have been in building high-rise apartments. The costs have risen so much that it's unviable for this company to build apartments unless they can be sold for at least $1 million each. We know from other reports that dozens of major apartment developments have been cancelled because the cost of construction is too high to make them viable. These outcomes speak to all the major issues afflicting residential property at moment – the shortage of new dwellings, the serious shortage of rental homes and rising rents, and the overall affordability issue. For those facing the high cost of building new homes in Australia, the reality is that (depending on location with Australia) between 35% and 50% of the cost is government taxes, fees and charges. All levels of government – local, state and federal – treat the housing industry as a cash cow. In other words, they milk the housing industry for taxation revenue, while claiming to care about the high cost of housing. They have further inflated the costs of creating new homes by passing laws that change the design of homes – theoretically to make them safer, more accessible or more energy efficient. These imposed design changes have added massively to the cost of building dwellings. The new construction code imposed by our elected representatives, alone, has added up to $40,000 to cost of building a new house in Australia. The same problems exist everywhere in Australia. That includes in Canberra, where housing has become a major issue in the lead-up to the ACT election. A peak body for residential housing wants the next ACT government to implement a four-year moratorium on new regulation and taxes on home building, to give the industry a chance to recover and deal with the shortages. The Housing Industry Association ACT also wants the government to relax planning rules across some of the territory's residential zones to allow for larger homes and higher density. It says the ACT is failing "across almost every housing metric". He pointed to a reduction in residential dwelling commencements, the increased costs to service mortgages and low rental vacancy rates. The HIA says: "The private housing market has been squeezed by a lack of shovel-ready land, and an explosion in regulation, red tape and taxation. Yet, at the same time as the private construction and rental sectors are constrained, there has been a failure of government to meet its obligations for public housing. "The ACT has a housing emergency. To do nothing other than continue with the status quo is not an option." Now, those comments are directed at the dire situation in Canberra, but could be applied equally to most cities across the nation. Politicians have created the problems and are clueless about how to resolve the issues that are causing prices and rents to rise, and the cost of building new homes to escalate.

This week, we welcome esteemed guest, Tim Reardon, Chief Economist for the HIA, into the studio to provide an update on Australia's economy at large, and how this is impacting the property market in WA.

Affordability is the most-debated and the most confused issue in residential real estate. While the rental shortage and rising rents occupies the minds of many, the property issue that occupies the most space most often in news media and in the minds of Australian consumers is housing affordability. It has been this way for years, indeed for decades. And while the so-called Great Australian Dream is often declared dead, with young people doomed to a lifetime of renting, the evidence suggests otherwise. I recently finished working on a report with financial comparison website Canstar which demonstrates that the Dream is very much alive. The Deposit Stars report shows that there are attainable options for young buyers in all our city and regional markets, including the biggest and most expensive cities. And the finance data indicates our property markets remain as active as ever.  A report from the Housing Industry Association in August 2024 noted that “various segments of the housing market are increasingly active, with lending to first-home buyers, owner occupiers, and investors increasing in the first half of 2024”, based on the latest ABS lending data. HIA economist Maurice Tapang said: “This increase in lending is partially driven by first home buyers. The number of loans issued to FHBs in the June quarter was 5.8% higher than the March quarter.” This reflects ABS data on the broader market encompassing all types of residential real estate loans up to the end of June 2024. One of the reasons home ownership is often declared beyond the reach of the average consumer is that most reports are based on unrealistic parameters.  As I comment in the Deposit Stars report, most analysis on affordability is based on the size of a 20% deposit to buy a house at the median price in our major cities and how long it would take to save such a deposit. These reports preclude the possibility of smaller deposits, particularly with the help of government programs.  They overlook the reality that most people entering the market for the first time buy houses in the lower price ranges well below the city's median price. And they usually ignore the preference of many buyers for attached dwellings – apartments, townhouses and units - and not only because they're cheaper. Many of the locations featured in the Canstar report reflect a growing phenomenon in Australian real estate: the rise of attached dwellings as the home of choice by more and more buyers. A range of cohorts are opting increasingly for units and townhouses, including downsizers, lifestyle buyers, migrants and first-home buyers. One of the features that draws growing numbers to apartments is location appeal. Not only do attached dwellings allow people to access property in good locations at cheaper prices than houses, but the average unit is better located than the average house. The “Measuring Home Price Differences” report by Infrastructure Victoria found that units consistently trump houses on proximity to desirable features.  The report says: “Units are located closer to selected infrastructure types, on average, than houses and townhouses.” This is one of multiple factors driving higher demand for units – challenging the dominant paradigm of real estate (that houses always outperform units and townhouses on capital growth). That is undoubtedly changing. Recently Ubank, which is a division of National Australia Bank, published a survey which found more than half of Gen Z and Millennials who don't own a home are looking to make a move on the property market within the next five years. 56 per cent of survey respondents – all Australian Gen Z and Millennials between the ages of 18 to 43 – aim to purchase their first property within the next five years. Nine out of 10 respondents agrees that purchasing a home was one of their goals in life – although most acknowledged it won't be easy. In addition to all that, research from the Commonwealth Bank confirms that ownership remains an ambition and that the number of first-time buyers going it alone is growing. According to data from the big four bank, 40 per cent of first home buyers purchased their property alone in the first six months of 2024 – without going in on the purchase with a partner, friend, or family member. That's a jump from the 35 per cent of first-time buyers doing the same in 2019. So there is compelling evidence that home ownership not only remains a primary goal for young Australians, but that it is being achieved in growing numbers.

Host Andrew Bellavia explores crucial aspects of hearing health policy and coverage with guest Bridget Dobyan, Executive Director of the Hearing Industries Association. The discussion begins with an introduction and a policy discussion on the Medicare Audiologist Access Improvement Act (MAAIA). The focus then shifts to the current state of Medicare coverage for hearing aids and the gaps in accessibility, especially within Medicare Advantage plans. Bridget highlights ongoing legislative efforts, such as Ally's Act, which aims to ensure private insurance coverage for bone anchored auditory implants and services. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) decision on hearing screenings by doctors is also examined, with an emphasis on the need for more research to develop effective hearing screeners. They also discuss the future of MarkeTrak, an ongoing and essential market research tool for the hearing industry, and the significant role of the Hearing Industries Association (HIA) in education and advocacy. The episode concludes with insights into the Hear Well campaign, aiming to raise awareness and promote hearing health across the community, and the collaborative efforts needed to bring about positive change in hearing health.

With the Canes about to start their west coast roadie, we had Collin from Home Ice Advantage on the show to talk about the week, and the change in his podcast format. HIA is a daily 10ish minute look at the Canes, it's one of my top podcasts because it's easily digestible and Collin does a great job stepping back and getting to the heart of things. If you don't listen to him, give him a chance for sure. We also talked about the 3rd pair and "4th" line, as well as the tendie situation. (Not Bojangles vs. Raisin' Canes) and our expectations as the Canes take on some solid teams this week.

Amy sits down with HIA's Amanda Patchen to discuss the difference between Sobriety and Recovery.

"What if one of the big tech companies - Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla - decides to become homebuilders? And disruption comes from outside the industry that basically upends the industry completely, a company that can come in and do what the industry will not, or can not, at this point, to deliver affordable, high-quality housing?" Join us this week as talk with Rich Binsacca and Dennis Steigerwalt about HIA 2024, PitchFest, and offsite construction. Rich Binsacca is the editorial director of Pro Builder, the leading B2B media brand for the U.S. housing industry, where he heads a team journalists, designers, and contributors to deliver timely, relevant, and award-winning content. A graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, he has engaged the housing industry since 1987 as a journalist, editor, producer, and marketing/communications professional. Published independently by SGC-Horizon, Pro Builder is the official media partner of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Dennis leads strategy and market engagement for the Housing Innovation Alliance, a network of over 2,000+ companies focused on strategic growth opportunities in the homebuilding industries. He's a boundary spanner, a connector, and an investor in all things related to the built environment.  Navigating complex networks of relationships and promoting broader investment in research and development, Dennis seeks out opportunities to connect the dots on transformational initiatives to achieve objectives together that we shouldn't, and likely couldn't, tackle alone. The Housing Innovation Summit will take place June 4-6, 2024. Pitchfest will kick off the Summit on June 4th. Get a 2-day Summit registration to participate in all Pitchfest activities and Summit sessions, round table discussions, and networking events.

The only thing more high-impact than tennis champion Marcus Daniell's serve is his philanthropy and his mission to encourage other athletes to give. An Olympic bronze medallist with five ATP titles, Marcus realized he had a unique opportunity to help the less-fortunate not only by donating but by using his platform to spread the word. In 2020, he co-founded High Impact Athletes to encourage other high-profile athletes to follow his example. In this episode, Charlie and Marcus talk about treating all Earth's creatures with respect, whether human, furry, feathered, or finned. In addition to human poverty, they touch on factory farming and climate change initiatives which can help make the world a place of less suffering for all. Be sure you check out the website highimpactathletes.org, to find a running tally of human and animal lives improved, tonnes of CO2e mitigated, and money influenced towards non-profit giving. High Impact Athletes works with “12 of the most effective charities in the world,” ensuring each donation goes as far and helps as many as it possibly can. And with a roster of more than 180 athletes representing 40 sports and 31 countries, HIA is doing a lot. Be sure to subscribe to The High Impact Athletes Podcast wherever you listen to Musings!

Hia gang! How's the weather today? That's swell. In this episode, the boys take a look at the 1999 Brendan Fraser movie, "Blast From The Past" also starring Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, and Dave Foley. Brendan plays Adam, a very polite young man who has lived in a sweet underground bunker for the past 35 years. When his father (Walken) suffers some sort of vague medical emergency, Adam must go up to the surface and find help, supplies, and his Eve. Ugh. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com
