FAST 50 – SPECIAL SERIES: The yield trap that could destroy your property strategy

What really drives performance in today's market? The 2027 SPI FAST 50 podcast series, with Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment's Paul Glossop, continues with an in-depth look at cash flow and yield. The pair breaks down how yield is often misunderstood, particularly when investors rely on outdated purchase prices or overlook key holding costs such as rates, land tax, and maintenance. They warn that chasing high yield alone can come at the expense of capital growth, potentially leading to poor long-term outcomes and even forced sales. Instead, they stress the need for a balanced strategy that weighs both income and growth to build resilient portfolios. The discussion also highlights the uncertainty facing investors in 2027, including shifting tax debates and broader policy risks, though fundamentals such as supply and demand remain key drivers. The strategy of living off equity is also revisited, with caution around its effectiveness in the current environment. A key focus is the wide variation in gross rental yields across the FAST 50, with lower yields in Sydney suburbs like Sans Souci and Newport and stronger returns in areas such as the Northern Territory. Examples like Penrith show the trade-off between high prices and modest yields, while Durack and Port Augusta highlight opportunities in more affordable markets. Overall, the episode reinforces that successful investing comes from balancing yield and growth, understanding real costs, and using the FAST 50 as a guide to navigate an increasingly complex market.

From 29th - 31 August the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance meeting was held on Nukunu country, at Pitchi Richi Park in so called "South Australia".  Since 1997 this Aboriginal led alliance has brought people together from across the continent to share information, strategies for defeating corporate and government plans for nuclear developments and to build solidarity for a nuclear free future.  First up we'll hear from Dianne Stokes on the Muckaty waste dump campaign in Tennant Creek, NT that ran from 2007 when the site was nominated by the Northern Lands Council to late 2014 when their case in the Federal Court saw the Federal Government and the Lands Council forced to walk away from it.  We then hear from Regina McKenzie who took up the fight in 2015 when the nuclear waste dump proposal moved to Barndioota on Adnymathanha country near Hawker, SA until 2020.  Followed by some words from ANFA President Aunty Sue Haseldine who stood alongside the Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta in the first success against the Federal Government's national radioactive waste dump plan.The next session was dedicated to celebrating the win against the Liberal Coalition's seven proposed nuclear reactors and we hear South Australia's NAIDOC Person of the Year 2025  'Stano' speak about taking a central role in the local campaign against nuclear power for Port Augusta.Read the ANFA 2025 meeting statement here.Please join the National Day of Action on AUKUS on the International Day For Peace Sunday 21 September.

Duncan designed the anchor after being frustrated at losing anchors when getting them stuck on reefy bottom while fishing the Queensland coast where he lives.

The Australian overland telegraph was a 3,200 km line connecting Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin. It was completed in 1872 and allowed communication between Australia and the rest of the world. It was one of the great engineering feats of 19th-century Australia and was a significant milestone in Australia's development. The line was built due to the determination of one man, a government employee, Charles Todd. As we celebrate 150 years since the line was completed, Sharon Carleton looks at the Charles Todd story, who it turns out was the first pioneer of STEM, way before the acronym had come into use.

Chad Lever's sudden disappearance from the riding ranks last September mystified trainers, punters and friends. The popular jockey had been juggling a huge workload for several years to honour commitments on the provincial and country circuit. Ten months ago he knew he'd have to take a break before his health suffered. Chad explains that he's been able to control his weight by riding trackwork and competing in barrier trials for his wife Claire. He explains that the constant travelling and wasting had worn him down. Chad talks of his wife's riding career under the name of Claire Nutman and the training career she always envisaged. He looks back on their New York wedding. He acknowledges Claire's good start as a professional trainer. Chad takes us back to his early days in Port Augusta and the valuable tuition he received from his late grandfather Fred Brodie. He remembers being regaled by Fred's tales of the turf. He looks back on his move to Adelaide and an apprenticeship to top trainer Leon Macdonald. He was horrified to see a glut of apprentices already in Macdonald's care. Chad talks of his fellow apprentices and the bizarre run of injuries that propelled him from number four to number one on the pecking order. He talks of his very first race win at Mt. Gambier. The jockey looks back on a productive apprenticeship. He outrode his claims quickly, and got tremendous support from outside stables. Chad pays tribute to Leon Macdonald and Richard Jolly. He looks back on four Adelaide jockey's premierships- two as a junior and two as a fully fledged rider. He says Simon Price gave him a fright in his second senior quest. The hard working jockey speaks of his delight in winning two city races for his uncle Mick Huxtable. He talks of the best horse he's been on to date. He had two race rides on dual Gr 1 winner Umrum. Chad reflects on his move to NSW at the invitation of trainer Sam Kavanough. He acknowledges valuable early support from Bjorn Baker. He looks back on a five year stint with Chris Waller and his many winners for the premier stable. Chad recalls his decision to concentrate on the out of town tracks, and the clientele he was able to build up in a short time. He looks back on a great run of success. He explains that Claire was his regular chauffeur at the time and was present at the Scone meeting in 2017 when he was involved in a nasty race fall. He looks back on many frustrating months out of the saddle. Chad was still riding regularly when Claire saddled up her first winner as a trainer. He followed instructions to the letter to win on Grace Bay at Gundagai. He talks of a couple of promising fillies in his wife's stable currently. Good to chat with a highly regarded jockey who's made his mark in two states.
