What garbage, how dare these people suggest Australian property is over priced and due for a correction, its obvious our property is not nearly as expensive as other property around the world.....

It's actually an outrage that someone can suggest these things with no concrete prooof..... highly disturbing.
Love your sarcasm Tim.
Another analytical report by university academics supported by research such as
Quote----" Australia is vulnerable to a collapse like the United States, where prices fell by a half during the sub-prime collapse."
Below is the Case-Schiller property indices which seems to be the standard measure for US property movements, peak to trough the fall was about 32%and is now rising.

Still a huge fall, but nowhere near 50%.
Aahh the quality and accuracy of analytical reports from academia these days.
Then again Tim as you say ---"It's actually an outrage that someone can suggest these things with no concrete prooof..... highly disturbing."
Tim, I'm certainly glad you have the sense not to believe everything that you read.
Cheers
Pete
