- Description
- Housing Minister Clare O'Neil says if predictions come true that house prices could drop by 10%, it won't be the fault of the government's federal budget.
"House prices in our country move. The biggest driver of them is what goes on with interest rates," Ms O'Neil told ABC's Insiders.
The minister was also asked if the federal government's 5% Deposit Scheme combined with a potential fall in house prices could see many young people owing more than they own.
"This is a really robust scheme. Defaults against this scheme are vanishingly rare," she said.
Treasury forecast in the budget that house price growth would slow by about 2% in the short term. The Grattan Institute and Commonwealth Bank have supported that forecast.

- Description
- Jess Yugovich underwent MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in November 2025 after being diagnosed with PTSD. In 2024, the Perth mother unexpectedly lost her three-year-old daughter.
The therapy involved 3 dosing days spread across a few weeks, where the drug was taken orally in the morning.
Once it was working in her system, Jess spent the next 6 hours working with her therapist.
Jess says the therapy was the first time she let herself feel her emotions since losing her daughter. The chemical release from the MDMA meant Jess could enter a different state of being. But she emphasises the therapy aspect was just as important as the drug.
