I am not saying it will improve, i think its inevitable a lot of people will get hurt, those without likely. However a lack of common awareness is a big issue. Australia is affluent. Do people spend money easy…take a look at westfield most weekends, and tell me i am wrong. But she’ll be alright is used like an excuse to not deal with clear issues.

I know that there is disparity, been calling if for a long time but most people have been ok with this because their house price went up. The can has been kicked and kicked but debt has to be paid eventually. I am not rich, I cannot afford a home in Aus, but I am also not ignorant to the conditions of those who struggle.
