Look,

I think they've got a very good, difficult job on there.

And when they've got an active audience of Australians that like to buy property, that's going to push prices up.

And we're dealing with a market at the moment that wants to be able to get in.

So look, I don't have the answer probably is my muddled response, but I don't see that they're going to do anything that's going to dampen this market in anything that I've seen.

Wow.

I mean, in the last 18 months, nearly every auction ended up being weird and bizarre.

The thing that comes to the front of my mind is not one auction in particular.

It's the day that at five in the afternoon or four in the afternoon when we were scheduled to do auctions at the Calile Hotel in Brisbane.

We got a four-hour warning from the Premier that no one was going to be allowed outside.

So we had to change all of those auctions from the hotel to my bedroom, set up webcams, and I had to call those auctions from home.

And every one of those registered parties stayed on.

The property is still sold with great steam, and we've seen that in the market.

And the story of that night that just blew my mind is not only did you have every buyer hang in there, one of the buyers who missed out stayed online long enough to buy another one, sight unseen, later in the order of sale.

It was a wonderful display from the team of that resilience and adaptability in trying times.
