This week on The Property Couch, we’re not sitting down with Ben Kingsley, co-host of The Property Couch…
But Ben Kingsley, Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA), and he’s here with a serious warning.
As the peak body representing everyday property investors, advocating for consumer protection, ethical practices, and a sustainable rental market, PICA recently wrote to every major trade association across Australia, from the Real Estate Institutes to leading mortgage broker bodies.
In it, PICA is calling out the rise of:
- Get-rich-quick advertising 🎯
- Unlicensed financial advice in Trusts & SMSFs 📑
- Buyer’s Agents behaving badly 🏚️
- Short-term speculation threatening housing affordability 💥
- Lack of transparency with hidden fees & kickbacks 💸
Why? Because these behaviours don’t just risk burning everyday investors… they risk damaging the reputation of the entire property industry and could trigger over-regulation that hurts us all.
🎧 Tune in for a must-listen conversation about protecting consumers, safeguarding our rental market, and keeping property investment sustainable for the long term.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
