Renovation Nation
|
It seems beyond dispute that Australians are preoccupied with their homes. But our first guest believes that this national preoccupation—the great Australian dream—goes beyond the widely held aspiration of home ownership. It extends to everything to do with home and housing: house prices, interest rates, mortgages, investment properties and holiday houses and, of course, home renovations.
