"Finally, one of the worst policies of the Howard [Liberal] government was gone – a policy that had turned the housing market into a casino where the housing investor always won, and the prospective homeowner always lost.
This seemed obvious to many of us, but change can often take much longer than we would like. But you keep pushing, keep searching for the soft spots that make governments wince because they realise their bad economic policy is also bad politically."
"When change comes, there will be many claiming responsibility, and it truly is a group effort. But I can say with little risk of error that The Australia Institute was one of the very few who were there the whole way."
