Following the release of last week's Budget, there's growing claims that Australians are looking across the Tasman with 'genuine envy'. A recent article in The Australian claimed that with no capital gains tax, no stamp duty or land tax, and the opportunity to negatively gear, business owners and property investors have taken more interest in New Zealand as a result. Australian independent economist Saul Eslake says this is likely just wishful thinking as a response to the recent Budget. "People look over the ditch and see that New Zealand's top rate of 39 is lower than our top rate of 46...and that you don't really have a capital gains tax, other than on assets that are held for less than two years, so they might think that looks more attractive than Australia."

This year's immigration intake means a city the size of Newcastle has effectively arrived looking for accommodation within the nation's existing housing stock - and it's the key reason rental incomes are soaring and vacancy rates are close to one per cent. Moreover, there is very little to suggest the scenario of demand greatly outweighing supply will change over the next three years. In today's show we cover; the very strong outlook for rental investment property, why house prices can keep rising moderately from here, rock bottom home ownership levels for younger Australians and is Hobart set to slip from Australia's fourth most expensive city.

Rocketing inflation sparks a new political tussle over who's the better economic manager. Childcare is one of key rising costs and parents are struggling to budget it in. Respected independent economist Saul Eslake warns inflation could be tough to manage whoever wins the election.
After Wednesday's larger-than-expected inflation number, all attention has turned to the Reserve Bank's meeting on Tuesday. If the bank moves next week, it will be the first time there's been a rise in a campaign since 2007, the election John Howard lost. Pointing to recent rate rises overseas, independent economist Saul Eslake says: “If the Reserve Bank were to do nothing in the face of this much sharper-than-expected acceleration in inflation, it would be leaving itself open to a charge of acting in a political way, which would undermine its credibility for an extended period. "So I think the Reserve Bank really has to raise interest rates at its meeting next week.” If it doesn't, Governor Philip Lowe would require “a very persuasive explanation”. If the bank didn't act next week, it could subsequently have to make a 75 basis points rise in one hit, “which would be a considerable shock to the mortgage-paying population in particular, but I think for small businesses and a whole lot of other participants in Australia's economy more broadly.”
Australia's jobless rate, when unrounded, hit 3.95% in March, the lowest it has ever been in the history of the ABS monthy job ads series, so SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves speaks in depth with independent economist Saul Eslake to find out if this is a true reflection of the state of the employment market, what it means for the economy and interest rates; plus Jessica Amir from Saxo Markets for her wrap on the day on the sharemarket.
