Call you know, call centre workers that's falling away big time.
Software engineers, graphic designers there it it it is sector by sector and sure at the moment pathology hasn't been hit, but I agree.
I think it's too early as well.
Now Duncan says I subscribe to Allen's weekend briefing and you wondered this week about the barriers to modular prefab housing.
I run Clarence Village, a seniors community housing provider in Grafton, New South Wales.
We're building a social housing development of modular homes and trying to source funding from another round
of the half.
The main barrier to modular is finance.
Because the homes are constructed off site, the bank has a hard time securing construction finance.
Title only transfers once the buildings are on site.
We got around this by doing an equity partnership with the New South Wales government to co-own the end site and lease back on a peppercorn rent.
The Housing Australia credit team is extremely risk averse and make it very hard to get concessional finance, especially for modular builds.
What an interesting point.
Banks only lend when you're building the thing on site.
How do you secure it?
Well how how do you offer security if the if if if if the house, as it's being built, is sitting in some factory hundreds of kilometers away?
And this is the point, Alan, is that of our twelve and a half trillion dollars of residential property in Australia, about nine trillion of that is land.
Seventy percent.
Seventy five percent roughly.
So just secure the land and that's how you get around it.
