In this episode, Bushy zooms out from short-term price chatter and tackles the bigger question most investors are ignoring: how AI, automation, geopolitical fragmentation, climate risk and rising volatility could reshape Australian jobs, income security and long-term property demand over the next 10–15 years.
Because property isn’t a short-term price story. It’s a long-term bet on future household incomes and scarcity.
Bushy challenges the backward-looking mindset that dominates property conversations and instead builds a forward-facing filter – starting 15+ years from your end goal and working backwards. He explores why Australia is drifting toward a two-track landscape of resilient income basins and increasingly fragile pockets, and why income durability – not hype, hotspots or headlines – will determine who thrives and who gets forced to sell.
A core theme of this episode is simple but confronting: income is oxygen. Portfolios don’t fail in theory – they fail through forced sales. True affordability isn’t “can I scrape through today?” but “can I hold this asset through messy seasons of disruption?”
Bushy unpacks Stage 1: Affordable Growth Accumulation – focusing on owner-occupier appeal, scarcity and income depth — and invites listeners to raise their hand if they want a full deep dive into Stage 2: Cash Flow Conversion.
