    31: Unlocking Housing Supply Through Tax Reform

    In this episode, we sit down with one of Australia’s most respected economic voices, Dr Ken Henry, to unpack one of the most critical issues facing the nation today - how taxation reform could help solve the housing crisis. Dr Henry reflects on the landmark Australia’s Future Tax System Review 2009, why it was commissioned, what it proposed and how much (or how little) has been implemented since. We explore the key recommendations that could reshape Australia’s housing landscape, including replacing stamp duty with annual land tax, reforming negative gearing and capital gains tax, and removing distortions that influence buyer behaviour. Dr Henry also discusses the political and practical realities of reform, outlining the role both federal and state governments need to play if we are to tackle the root causes of the housing crisis, not just its symptoms. This is a rare and insightful conversation that connects tax, housing and long-term economic strategy. Dr Ken Henry AC FASSA FAIIA is one of Australia’s most influential economic policy leaders. He served as Secretary to the Treasury from 2001 to 2011 and chaired several landmark reviews including the 1997–98 Howard Government tax review, the 2010 Rudd Government tax review, and the Gillard Government’s Australia in the Asian Century White Paper. He has held senior roles across both the public and private sectors, including Chair of National Australia Bank and has been a non-executive director of ASX Limited. Today, Dr Henry chairs the Australian Climate and Biodiversity Foundation and serves on multiple boards focused on climate, finance and biodiversity. Dr Henry holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Canterbury and is a Companion of the Order of Australia. Tune in to hear how bold tax reform could unlock new pathways to housing affordability and a more resilient economic future.

    Episode 24: The Rise of Modern Methods of Construction

    In this episode, we explore the role of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in shaping a more efficient, sustainable and innovative future for the built environment. Our guest, Pete Morrison, brings decades of experience in offsite construction and prefabricated timber systems to the table and provides practical insights into why the industry must evolve. We unpack what MMC really means, the different types in practice today, and why end users, not just developers, should care about them. Pete explains how prefabricated timber solutions are redefining the way we think about construction, both globally and here in Australia. He shares examples from overseas markets, discusses the advantages (and some of the misconceptions), and highlights the systemic changes required to bring these solutions into the mainstream locally. We also talk policy, what governments need to understand to support MMC adoption, and how project delivery models in Australia must adapt if we are to embrace smarter, greener ways of building. Pete Morrison is Executive Director and CEO at GTT, a leading manufacturer of prefabricated timber-based “kit of parts” systems. A passionate advocate for Modern Methods of Construction, Pete’s career has been dedicated to driving practical, scalable change across the building sector. With deep expertise in offsite construction, he is a strong voice for innovation that reduces waste, increases productivity and brings high-quality outcomes to life faster and more sustainably. Tune in now! Whether you're on-site, in government or curious about how buildings are made, this episode will reshape the way you think about how we build.
