sideways,’’ he was quoted saying.

“Certainly homes are less affordable than twenty years ago, but that's not because income growth continues to be sluggish, but because wealthier Australians, using lower interest levels, and benefiting

from less expensive basic necessities like food, clothing and transport, have channelled extra dollars in the house.

“Homes are bigger in addition to high quality than 2 decades ago.’’
