Seriously on 5% of the entire Australian population can afford to buy a home now. This is disgusting. Get rid of the government now all they do is work for the massively wealthy.

Good luck when all the rates and payments on your loans & mortgages go back up. So many people taking out loans and mortgages to pay for over priced housing just because the % is low. Gone and screwed yourselves over 5 years on.

Just ridiculous .
