Peter Tulip

In this discussion, Peter Tulip, Chief Economist at the Centre for Independent Studies and a former researcher at both the Reserve Bank of Australia and the US Federal Reserve, tackles the Australian housing crisis head-on. He sheds light on the complexities of NIMBY sentiments and the restrictions imposed by heritage laws. Tulip argues for a cultural shift necessary to balance housing supply with demand and critiques zoning regulations that hinder development. He proposes innovative ideas, including 'street votes,' to facilitate community engagement in housing negotiations.
