G’day, legend! Ever wondered why buying a house in Australia feels like chasing a rapidly accelerating dragon? This week on Aussie English, Pete sits down with his old man, Ian, for a classic “Goss” episode that tackles the wild world of Australian property.

They yarn about how bonkers house prices have become, reminiscing about the good old days when a house cost a mere £500! We dive deep into Ian’s theories on why things went stratospheric – from our ever-growing expectations for massive homes to the sheer demand of a booming population.

Plus, we rip into those infamous government policies like negative gearing and capital gains tax. Were they actually helpful or just another way to send prices through the roof? We’ll give you our two cents on why these incentives might have inadvertently made homeownership a distant dream for many.

It’s a ripper of a chat that’ll make you laugh, maybe sigh a bit, and definitely get you thinking about the future of housing Down Under. So, grab a cuppa, settle in, and have a listen to this cracking episode!
