The convicted murderer and terrorist who killed 51 worshippers in a Christchurch Mosque, Brenton Tarrant, is back in court attempting to overturn his guilty pleas so he can stand trial instead. This is a really fraught case for many of you and we've been inundated with messages from you asking why we are using Tarrant's name in our coverage. We decided it would be good to explain how such editorial decisions are made.

In the latest episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to discuss the challenges faced by property investors in Australia's current market. Tarrant opens by encouraging listener feedback, emphasising its importance in shaping the show's content. The main discussion then begins, as the duo analyse the recent 25-basis-point rate hike, with Loisance providing insights into mortgage trends and how rising interest rates are affecting investment strategies. The pair note that while the rate increase may not drastically change strategies for most investors, it could be a tipping point for some. The episode also examines tighter lending regulations for high debt-to-income borrowers and stricter oversight of trust-based financing arrangements. Government spending, taxation, and potential changes to capital gains discounts were highlighted as factors that could influence property prices and investor decisions. Loisance discusses AMP Bank's cautious return to self-managed super fund (SMSF) lending, providing targeted opportunities for select investors. The show concludes with practical advice on strategic portfolio construction, optimising cash flow, and securing better financing in a challenging market.

The mosque terrorist claims prison conditions essentially forced him to plead guilty to his crimes. The shooter has addressed three Court of Appeal judges in Wellington in a bid to vacate his guilty pleas for murder, attempted murder, and terrorism - in March 2019. He's serving life in prison. Newstalk ZB's Emily Ansell says Tarrant told the court solitary confinement, being under constant observation and the lack of reading materials helped his health decline. "He also mentioned he thought guards were playing mind games with him and telling him they couldn't understand what he was saying. So all of this, he says, led to something of an identity crisis."

A hearing begins in the Court of Appeal this morning to determine if the white supremacist who murdered 51 people in the Christchurch terror attacks can vacate his guilty pleas and stand trial. Our reporter Timothy Brown has covered Tarrant and his offending extensively, even sitting in the same courtroom as the convicted killer during his four-day sentencing in 2020. Brown spoke to Corin Dann.

But the path to who Tarrant is today was shaped by powerful life experiences. Growing up, his grandfather nurtured his love of running—first by encouraging him to run on the land, and eventually by lining up for his very first race. When Tarrant ran his first marathon, he won. And trust me, the story of how that happened is wild. What followed were incredibly difficult years. Tarrant struggled with alcohol addiction and survived a suicide attempt. Through connection—with the right people and programs—along with the love of his family and his relationship with running, he found his way through a year-long rehab program and, ultimately, back to the start line of that same marathon. Today, Tarrant and his entire family are helping bring Prairie Run Crew to kids who need the same encouragement, support, and belief—to learn how to set goals, dream big, and see what's possible.

In a recent episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman examine the implications of the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest interest rate hike on property investment. Tarrant acknowledges the widespread media concern but argues that shifting economic conditions can also create opportunities for strategic investors. Garman points out a rise in the Consumer Price Index from 3.4 per cent to 3.8 per cent, warning that inflationary pressures, driven by energy prices and housing costs, could lead to further increases. The pair explore whether the move signals the start of a gradual upward cycle, noting that rates often follow a fluctuating "sawtooth" pattern as the RBA works to stabilise the economy. They also highlight government spending and market liquidity as key contributors to inflation, with Garman suggesting Australia's tightening stance is unusual among major Western economies. The discussion raises concerns about the 5 per cent deposit scheme, with both warning that it could expose first home buyers to negative equity if property values fall. Tarrant further urges caution around the super saver scheme, stressing the importance of disciplined saving, budgeting, and living within one's means. Ultimately, they conclude that while higher rates present challenges, informed and adaptable investors may still find opportunities in a changing market.

Brenton Harrison Tarrant was jailed for life in August 2020, with no possibility of parole, after he plead guilty to the murder of 51 people and wounding 40 in the Christchurch terror attack. Tarrant is now, five years later, attempting to overturn his conviction with claims he was not in a rational state when he plead guilty. Criminal defence lawyer Steve Cullen spoke to Andrew Dickens about the appeal saying, "It's a very difficult situation for all, but we have to let the wheels of justice grind on and let it be dealt with properly so that hopefully, whatever the outcome is, we'll get finality and closure this time."

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to discuss the recent tightening of trust-based lending and its impact on property investors. They explore how major banks, including Macquarie, Westpac, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ), have introduced stricter rules for trust loans, including reduced loan-to-value ratios, proof of established banking relationships, and redirecting trust lending to private banking divisions. Loisance explains how these changes affect investors using multiple trusts to acquire properties simultaneously and the potential risks of overextending. The discussion highlights that non-bank lenders continue to offer trust-based loans, often with more flexible terms but higher interest rates. The duo stresses the importance of working closely with mortgage brokers and financial advisors to navigate the new lending landscape. According to Tarrant and Loisance, these tighter criteria reflect broader industry self-regulation and pre-emptive measures ahead of potential Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) intervention.

In a special summer episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance, principal at Finni Mortgages, to reflect on the property deals that made a difference in 2025. The episode highlights the pivotal role mortgage brokers play in guiding Australians through complex investment finance decisions. Loisance shares real-world examples, including refinancing a neighbour's high-interest loan to save over $2,500 per month and dramatically reduce the mortgage term. Another case explores a client leveraging equity and strategic refinancing to grow a substantial property portfolio. The discussion also covers innovative strategies such as family pledges, which enable younger investors to enter the market without large deposits. Tarrant and Loisance emphasise the importance of ethical practices and informed decision-making in the broking industry. The conversation touches on challenges faced by self-employed investors and self-managed super fund (SMSF) users, underscoring the need for professional guidance.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Lachlan Vidler from Atlas Property Group to challenge the myth that successful investors need massive property portfolios. They discuss how the idea of building $10 million portfolios is often driven by vanity rather than sound financial strategy. Drawing on Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data, Tarrant notes that most Australian property investors own just one or two properties, not sprawling portfolios. Vidler explains that managing multiple properties brings similar complexity regardless of value, often increasing stress without improving outcomes. The conversation highlights how tighter lending conditions, elevated prices, and regulatory changes have made large-scale portfolio building far more difficult than it was decades ago. Instead, the duo argues that fewer, higher-quality assets can deliver stronger long-term results with fewer headaches. A practical example shows how acquiring a small number of properties over time and strategically selling can lead to a debt-free portfolio generating meaningful passive income. Ultimately, the episode reinforces that realistic goals, patience, and quality investments matter far more than the number of properties owned.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to unpack new lending guidelines by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and the concerns these sparked among property investors trying to scale their portfolios. Tarrant and Loisance begin by discussing the new debt-to-income restrictions, explaining how the cap on high-risk lending is designed to protect financial stability, while creating uncertainty for active and growth-focused investors. The duo then turns to the growing contradiction between tighter lending rules and government initiatives such as the 5 per cent deposit scheme and shared equity programs, which aim to fast-track first home buyers into the market. Loisance highlights criticism that these high-leverage schemes could place Australians into excessive debt, particularly if property values soften or economic conditions tighten. They wrap up by examining the pullback by major banks from trust and company lending, urging investors to stay informed, work with experienced brokers, and remain flexible as alternative lending options emerge.

On a recent episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant and Steve Ash, founder of Property Strats, explore the opportunities and pitfalls of off-market properties, unpacking myths and opportunities for savvy investors. They note that off-market properties, often seen as hidden gems, are not inherently cheaper and can sometimes represent struggling listings rather than bargains. The conversation highlights the importance of discerning judgment, as even numerous opportunities require careful evaluation to avoid poor investments. The duo emphasise constructing a resilient, "bulletproof" portfolio capable of withstanding market fluctuations and avoiding speculative traps, particularly in remote or volatile areas. Both experts stress the value of combining data-driven analysis with market intuition, encouraging investors to focus on areas with strong growth potential and real-time supply-demand insights. Ash advocates a contrarian approach, looking beyond conventional trends to uncover undervalued opportunities, while Tarrant urges reliance on credible resources and continuous learning. The discussion reinforces that successful investing relies on informed, strategic decision-making rather than chasing quick gains.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Annie Kane, managing editor of mortgages, and Liam Garman, managing editor of real estate. The host and the Momentum Media editors explore the complexities of the current Australian property market. They examine how government schemes, including the expanded 5% Deposit Scheme, are driving demand but causing delays as lenders struggle to keep up. Kane highlights that brokers are the main channel for the scheme, but overwhelming demand has led some lenders to pause pre-approvals. Tarrant raises concerns that the scheme could encourage unsustainable debt levels among first-time buyers. Investor lending is also on the rise, with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) monitoring trends and considering measures to curb high debt-to-income ratios and rapid investor lending. Garman points to supply-demand pressures exacerbated by migration and infrastructure, warning of potential negative equity for some buyers. The discussion also covers the role of buyer's agents, emphasising the importance of choosing licensed professionals to avoid costly advice missteps. As the market evolves, the trio notes that navigating government interventions, lending practices, and ongoing supply-demand imbalances will be critical for both investors and home buyers.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Costa Arvanitopoulos from Finni Mortgages to unpack Macquarie Bank's retreat from trust and company lending and the rising role of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) in property investment. They explain that Macquarie's move, driven by tighter anti-money laundering (AML) scrutiny and concerns over spruikers using trusts to dodge serviceability rules, signals a broader shift in how lenders view complex structures. While this may disrupt investors who use trusts for tax and asset protection, borrowing in personal names remains available, and other lenders are expected to fill the gap. Against this backdrop, Tarrant and Arvanitopoulos highlight SMSFs as a more mainstream and increasingly popular vehicle for property investment. Arvanitopoulos notes that SMSFs let investors use their super to buy property without impacting personal borrowing capacity, which is particularly useful for those already maxed out in their own names. He explains that SMSF lending focuses on fund contributions, rental income and, for business owners, company financials to prove serviceability. The duo also flag the limitations and tax settings around SMSFs, including no equity release, no major renovations, and higher tax rates on very large balances.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Future Proof Property Advisory co-founder Dawn Fouhy to help investors cut through the noise of the Melbourne market and gain clarity amid a crowded field of opinions. Together, they unpack how analysis paralysis can stall progress, particularly in fast-changing markets like Melbourne and regional Victoria, and why investors need to align with advisors and strategies that genuinely resonate. Fouhy explains what makes a property truly future-proof, urging investors to buy with future buyers in mind, avoid investor-saturated pockets, and target areas with scarcity and low building approvals. She shines a spotlight on Melbourne's renewed appeal, noting that while oversupply is a risk in some locations, suburbs such as Williams Landing, Point Cook, and Hoppers Crossing are underpinned by strong owner-occupier demand and constrained supply. The duo also explore Geelong's rise as Australia's top relocation hotspot, with Fouhy pointing to suburbs like Hamlyn Heights and Belmont as examples of locations where economic strength, lifestyle appeal, and solid fundamentals support long-term capital growth. Revisiting the capital growth versus cash flow debate, Tarrant and Fouhy emphasise that while cash flow is crucial for managing holding costs, it is capital growth that ultimately drives meaningful wealth creation. For those eyeing the Melbourne and Victorian markets in 2026 and beyond, Fouhy recommends starting with a realistic budget, then targeting townhouses or units in established, high-demand areas that offer both affordability and advantages.

In this episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to discuss the critical role of finance and professional guidance in property investment. They begin by discussing the importance of surrounding oneself with knowledgeable brokers, accountants, and financial planners, while also acknowledging the ethical challenges that can arise when working with industry professionals. Loisance highlights that entry requirements for mortgage brokers are relatively low, meaning some may lack the expertise to provide sound advice, making it essential for investors to choose advisors carefully. The duo then explores regulatory improvements, such as the best interest duty introduced in 2021, which requires brokers to act in their client's best interest and document their recommendations. Despite the new rules, unethical practices like non-disclosure of referral fees or favouring higher-commission lenders still exist, prompting Tarrant and Loisance to urge investors to ask probing questions and seek transparency.
