"It depends on the underlying settings. Let's say mortgage rates at XXXX% and wages growth at pre-Covid X year average. If it drops XX% then grows consistent with earnings that would get things a fair way toward sustainability. In some locales absolutely but at an overall level I'm not sure I'd need to run the numbers through my spreadsheet. Part of the problem is the overall burden of housing costs at an aggregate level as a proportion of income had risen by over XX% in relative terms by 2016 vs the 1980s. So it's going to take time for that drag to fade from the economy"

"There is this idea that migrants do jobs Aussies don't want. There is some truth in that. But what we should be asking is why don't people want them. In short the wages are generally less than stellar. We live in a nation where the average capital city unit rent is $XXX per week or XXXX% of a full time minimum wage. For houses its $XXX per week or XXXX% of a full time minimum wage. Sure these jobs are tough I worked after hours cleaning for years so I know first hand.
