David, what does the five percent deposit guarantee mean for first home buyers?
And speaking about some of those caps that will be increased, how many Australians will be able to access this scheme?
So while the scheme is going to help thousands of Australians, critics say that it's not the solution to the affordability crisis.
What are some other policies in the works that could help do this?
So for anyone who's thinking of applying or using this scheme, what would your top tips advice be before doing so?
David, thank you so much for joining us on the briefing.
Georgie, welcome to The Weekend Briefing.
Oh, thank you so much.
Now, I want to start, you grew up in Brisbane, you first moved to Sydney as a cadet for the ABC.
What drew you to the world of journalism and this wild news cycle that we're currently navigating?
So you went into a job that, yeah, it's a lot of reading and a lot of shift work, actually.
But I also heard that you briefly wanted to be a dentist, but then you thought, no, teeth are actually quite gross.
How would I want to do that?
Yeah.
But I want to go to that, those 2 a.m.
starts that you used to do at ABC.
How did you manage that?
It's what I mean.
It's not really like a night shift or day.
It's just awkward.
