Now, the fallout and the ramifications of this will last quite some time, and Labor is loving it, as you could imagine.

Melbourne's the busiest market and the preliminary clearance rate came in at 57.5%.

Sydney was at 55.2%, according to Cotality.

Last week, Cotality's head of research, Tim Lawless, said a downturn is on the way.

Well, I think these numbers prove that.

In the mid-sized capitals, Brisbane's return, a return to clearance rate of 54%.

Adelaide was actually 67%, which is relatively low for that city.

And Canberra was just 48%.

Now, of course, when you get the final numbers, that takes five or six percentage points off.

Most of these cities are at 50% or lower.

So certainly a downturn going on.

Yeah, I think so.

And anytime markets are volatile, Macquarie does really, really well.

Its commodities and global markets division provide about half the earnings, and that really does live and breathe on volatility.

CEO Shamara Wickramanayaka said the company's well-positioned to deliver superior performance in the middle, medium term.

It's been a really strong performer this year, Macquarie.

Its share price is up 18%.

But I tell you, it's really well-positioned.

The guys that are making the money from this, so Rick Ramanuyaka's pay was $26.5 million.

That's kind of what she normally pays.
