covid kudos will evaporate quickly when you cannot meet your next mortgage payment, or cant get your car fixed, so you can pay a quarter of your wage in petrol to get to your minimum wage job.
it will be covid who? 
fixed income superannuants trying to pay rates on a property that has just had its rates go up 30% after council revaluation? the skyrocketing valuation a direct result of a housing shortage that hasnt got better but actually worsened under this government, and no sign of that changing ever? no plans, no projections, no policy. praying for the reserve bank or the banking institutions or a GFC to happen
i think im understating it if anything.
money talks everything else walks, everything.
