Episode notes
Housing Policies Raise Prices
- Housing policies from both Labor and Liberal aim to support first home buyers but fail to address housing supply fundamentally.
- These policies are likely to increase house prices by about 15%, benefiting sellers more than buyers.
Impractical Trade Deadlines
- Trump's promise to negotiate 70 trade deals in 90 days is impractical and unrealistic.
- The complex nature of trade agreements means these tariff issues will likely persist beyond the 90-day deadline.
US-China Trade Conflict Risks
- The US-China trade conflict is intensifying, with the US pushing allies to impose barriers on China.
- This threatens Australia heavily due to its significant export reliance on China and could disrupt its economy.
