Australia’s housing crisis isn’t “global” — it’s policy-driven. With supply falling behind demand, expanding low-deposit schemes and other demand boosters risks inflating prices rather than improving affordability. The reset is clear: build more homes faster, align population growth with construction capacity, and stop policies that turn scarcity into higher bids.

Scrap inflationary schemes now — stop helping buyers bid more for scarce stock, and start fixing the shortage. Australia needs a hard reset: cut demand-boosting policies that inflate prices, then drive supply through faster approvals, planning reform, infrastructure sequencing, and a construction pipeline big enough to meet (and exceed) demand.
