the way I see this playing out is that restricted lending will restrict supply of housing and commercial premises in an environment of rising demand. There is plenty of funds to lend at 50% LVR... this will be the same as 100% LVR now once values double. The banks are the winners, the economy...

Costello knew it - remember the warning of the economic tsunami that was about to hit us before we all thumbed our noses and voted for the other guy? And if he knew it I find it hard to believe he was flying solo
