Yeah, plenty of media interest.

It's one of those things we're only doing once a year, so people have their ears perked up by this release.

Yeah, it's fronted both in Australia and here by two bald, bearded males talking about women and property, so that's always a bit of a backstory to it.

No, the report itself was really good.

It's based on a survey.

So it's a wee bit different, I guess, than what we're typically doing.

We're using our own proprietary data and it's pretty hard evidence most of the time.

This is, I guess, not softer necessarily, but it's survey stuff.

You've always got to keep that in mind.

But yeah, what it showed was that

that there's there's definitely no lack of interest in property from from females across the country and in fact more females rate property ownership as important or highly important than males do so there's definitely a strong interest there in owning property um just that when you when you come to the ownership stats they are lower females and particularly when you get into those younger generations i mean across both genders the the ownership rates are lower the younger you are of course that's there's no sort of rocket science there but when you're comparing

the Gen Z and millennial females to Gen Z and millennial males.

The ownership rates are lower for females, so

It's not an attitude thing, but there is a lower ownership rate, so then you start to look for why.

And really, financial resources are going to be a big part of it.

We know, unfortunately, there's a gender wage gap still, about minus 5% here for females earning 5% less for similar jobs.

So that's going to be part of it.

Now, that gender wage gap has closed, but still at 5%, so there's still work to do there.

And the survey evidence points to just lower earnings as well.

There's relatively fewer females earning higher wages, an arbitrary sort of cut off, let's call it $100,000.
