About this episode

The episode features a heated debate on Australia's housing crisis between housing advocate Maiy Azize and property investor Jack Henderson.

Australia’s housing debate just turned explosive. This week on The Karl Stefanovic Show, housing advocate Maiy Azize from Everybody’s Home goes head-to-head with property investor and founder Jack Henderson over the future of Australian housing. Should negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions be scrapped? Are investors driving up house prices? Will Labor’s housing changes make rents even worse? And is the Australian Dream now completely out of reach for young Australians? The debate quickly turns fiery as the panel clashes over rent caps, affordable housing, government intervention, property investors and whether Australians simply need to lower their expectations about where they live. From Sydney house prices and regional affordability to social housing and the future of home ownership, this is one of the most explosive debates yet.
