Forget pessimism, trust the data

Simon Kuestenmacher is a leading demographer who ranks as one of the world’s Top 10 influencers in data visualisation, using data to explain how the world works.

In the first in a two-part Talking Property series from the Property Council of Australia’s annual Congress, Simon shares why he thinks the property sector shouldn’t be too pessimistic, why global capital still wants to come to Australia and why migration isn’t going to slow down.

Simon also shares his views on the long-term outlook for interest rates, Australia’s skills shortage and why the major political parties aren’t interested in cheaper housing, despite the rhetoric.
