- Description
- The Bathla collapse is a disaster for buyers, subcontractors and lenders, but there are claims it's also set to become the biggest housing collapse in Australian history.
Industry insiders say the fallout could top $4 billion.
Michael Akkawi, the founder and chief executive of prominent developer, Conquest, a company with major housing projects in Sydney, Airlie Beach and London, says his assessment is that Bathla is shaping up to be the largest corporate collapse Australia has ever seen is because of the size and scale.
"It would be second only to the HIH collapse (in 2001)...This is actually larger than the Babcock collapse back in 2009," he says.
"Based on the numbers that they're reporting at the moment, it's circa $3.6 billion in debt, when you add the layers of subcontractors, suppliers, tax debt, and everyone else in the food chain, that number could be astronomically higher."

- Description
- House prices have declined for the fifth month in a row, suggesting the property slump won't be stopping any time soon. The national property market has been hit by several headwinds in recent months, including three Reserve Bank interest rate hikes, and the federal government's decision to restrict negative gearing and increase capital gains tax. Ray White chief economist Nerida Conisbee said fewer properties were coming to market, while Cotality's Gerard Burg said there's lots of doubt about whether or not now is a good time to buy a home. Housing values are expected to keep falling, particularly if the Reserve Bank lifts interest rates again, which is now seen as more likely to happen.
Meanwhile, one state has announced a crackdown on real estate agent underquoting. From October, sellers in Victoria will be forced to publish the reserve price of their properties at least seven days before it is sold or goes to auction.

- In March 1968, in a rich, British accent typical of Australian news reporters of the time, Four Corners journalist Jim Downes asked the country: "When this circuit learns your job, what are you going to do?"
By "circuit", Mr Downes was referring to the computer — a technological innovation at once revered and feared by a 1960s Australian society already living through massive social, political and cultural change.
Mr Downes, a brilliant wordsmith, described computers as "metal boxes of salmon-pink, beige or deep blue, trimmed in stainless steel or aluminium", which "promise or threaten the mind with what the industrial revolution did to the muscles".
