Staring Down a Trillion-Dollar Debt: What Happened?

In 2006, Australia reached a milestone: the Commonwealth had eliminated its net debt.

Fast forward two decades, and government borrowing tells a very different story.

2006: Commonwealth net debt eliminated.

2008–09: The Global Financial Crisis brings new borrowing and economic stimulus.

2020–21: The COVID-19 pandemic triggers unprecedented government spending.

2026: Commonwealth gross debt approaches $1 trillion, while total gross debt across Australia's federal, state and territory governments is forecast to reach $1.7 trillion in 2026–27.

Of course, each period brought its own challenges, and debt is not inherently negative. But the scale of borrowing raises important questions about spending, accountability and the long-term cost to future generations.

Reading the Market 📊

How do you read a market when the unexpected changes everything?

Nerida Conisbee reflects on how external factors like COVID made the property market difficult to predict. With building and selling disrupted, forecasts pointed towards a potential price crash. Instead, the market moved in the opposite direction.

It’s a reminder that property markets don’t always follow expectations, and understanding what’s happening on the ground matters.

Could Victoria Be Underpriced? 💭

Victoria hasn’t seen the same level of price growth as Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide over the past five years. But could that relative lack of growth be creating an opportunity?

Nerida Conisbee shares why she believes Victoria is worth considering for property investment, while also acknowledging the challenges around taxation and the state’s changing environment.

With a new Premier bringing the potential for a fresh breath of air, could Victoria be entering a new chapter?

The Debt We Can’t Ignore 💭

Australia’s growing debt raises important questions about what it means for the generations that come next.

Nerida Conisbee reflects on Australia’s history with high levels of debt and why the options available to governments today are different from the past.

Nerida Conisbee shares her outlook and explains the challenge facing the RBA as inflation remains

It’s Not Just Interest Rates 📈

What actually drives property growth?

Nerida Conisbee explains why interest rates are only one part of the equation, with factors like population growth, jobs, construction costs, taxation and replacement costs all shaping different markets.

From Sydney to Darwin and smaller regional towns, the same factors can have very different effects depending on the market.

The Budget Made It Worse 💭

Did the latest Budget actually address Australia’s housing affordability problem?

Nerida Conisbee shares her perspective on why the Budget has added complexity to an already challenging property market, with bigger impacts on house prices and rents than expected.

With housing supply still falling short of targets, the conversation raises questions around whether changing tax policy is addressing the underlying problem.

Right to Housing 🏠

How do we balance the need for more housing with preserving the liveability of the places people choose to call home?

Nerida Conisbee discusses why concerns around increased density are fair from a liveability perspective, and why these concerns extend beyond Melbourne’s most expensive suburbs.

When people buy into an area, they’re also buying into a lifestyle. But when changes to density impact things like overshadowing, schools, medical centres and local amenity, the lifestyle they originally chose can begin to change.
