Labor's housing hot potato

New home loans have plummeted, falling across the board.

A downturn in investor loans drove the decline, plunging a whopping 30 per cent, but investors weren't the only group to fall.

Loans for owner occupiers, including first home buyers, also fell almost 9 per cent, and that's tricky news for the Albanese Government.

Meanwhile, the PM made a brief stopover in Singapore on his way to the COP, to honour Australians held at Changi Prisoner of War Camp during WW2.

David Speers shares with PK that his great uncle — and namesake — was also held at Changi as a POW.

And David also has a thesis about the timing of the Prime Minister's mandatory AI Safety announcement — and what he is trying to signal.

Speaking of AI, PK's "obsessed" with the way it's impacting white collar jobs — with Qantas just the latest example. So, is there more the Government needs to do here?

Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.
