In this episode, Richard Temlett welcomes Brendan Coates, Housing and Economic Security Program Director at the Grattan Institute, to discuss Australia’s ongoing housing crisis. Brendan shares his insights into the root causes of the crisis, its history, and how long it might take to resolve. We explore key topics like the role of politics in shaping property policies, the Henry Tax Review of 2009, and why many of its recommendations were not implemented. Brendan also explains potential tools and levers that could address the crisis, including reforms to stamp duty, land tax, and negative gearing. Additionally, he shares his thoughts on capital gains tax (CGT) reform, the impact of land use planning, and the ongoing debate over rental freezes.
In his role, Brendan leads research on housing, retirement incomes, tax reform, and macroeconomic issues. With a background in macro-financial economics, Brendan has previously worked with the World Bank in Indonesia and consulted for the Bank in Latin America. He also served as an official in the Australian Treasury. Brendan is a leading voice on Australia’s housing challenges, and his extensive research covers everything from taxation and land use planning to social housing and rent assistance.
Tune in to this episode for a comprehensive analysis of the housing crisis and potential policy solutions from one of Australia's top housing experts.
