Property Collapse, Rate Hike Fears & Australia's Housing Crisis Explained | Headlines with Cozza

Corey unpacks the biggest week yet for Australian property and finance — starting with the collapse of Bathla, a major Sydney developer that owed over $3.5 billion and left 26,000 homes in limbo across 219 projects. He breaks down how the fallout is rattling the private credit sector, with major funds freezing redemptions and regulators calling it the industry's first real stress test. He also covers a hotter-than-expected inflation print that's flipped rate-cut hopes into rate-hike fears, new data showing why Australia's housing pipeline keeps falling further behind target, why the RBA may be structurally unable to rescue the property market this cycle, and why banks are still fighting harder than ever for mortgage customers despite the downturn. He closes with what One Nation's shock WA by-election win says about voter frustration over cost of living.
