Speaking of opportunity, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house in Newtown recently was listed for $1.2 million at auction and sold for $2.6 million. Since this government came to office, the median house price in Sydney has risen from $670,000 to just under $1 million. That means the cost of a 10 per cent deposit has gone up by over $33,000 on your government's watch. Does your government accept any responsibility, through its policies or lack of action, for contributing to the Sydney housing bubble?
