Similarly, in Melbourne, housing values fell more sharply, down 3.7 per cent from the market peak in early March, compared with a 1 per cent drop during the 2017-2019 downturn over the same number of days. “Considering higher interest rates have flowed through to weaker housing market conditions very quickly, we could see the reverse once rates start to fall. However, it really depends on how high rates go, and how the economy is faring after the surge in interest rates.
“We’re unlikely to go back to record low interest rates and therefore the recovery may be a more gradual one compared to, say, the last 30 or 40 years, and may take longer than 20 months before prices reach a new high. I think we’ll probably go through a couple of years where prices rise between 5 and 10 per cent.“

Ms Krakue said Conservative MP Kemi Badenoch recently wrote an article condemning gender clinics, claiming “because of the power of this gender ideology”, people felt they could not highlight real risks due to the procedures. “Like putting them on puberty blockers or affirming their gender when they’re only 12 years old and a few years ago they wanted to be a frog,” she told Sky News host Rowan Dean. “Recently the FDA has released a warning about puberty blockers, warning they could actually cause a medical condition which effectively is swelling of the brain. “We’re giving these children life-altering treatment for something most of them will grow out of.'
