First Home Owner's Grant: FAIL

Here is an interesting article on the First Home Owner's Grant in the SMH on the success (or apparent failure) of the First Home Owner's Grant. The focus on the demand side of the market has had very little impact on increasing home ownership (nor affordability for that matter). The failure to consider the hindrances to supply of property has been the key factor in lower house ownership now than many years ago.
