Agree that Singaporeans are generally risk averse. But Australia compared to Singapore is better place to take risk. There is the welfare net and the stigma of failure is not so offensive. Aussies tend to treat it as fighter.
But neverthess its a carries inherent risk. Those in mid 80s will remember when rates went to double digit and foreclosures were high.

I was told by a banker that mortagages are funding private school education for most australians as well. Similar to the US.

不入虎穴焉得虎子,I think most Sinkies, are very risk adverse, the PRCs, Indians here are playing the property monopoly as axe168 is doing. To them, Australia is a great place. My Indian colleague is already leveraging his current home to get one that is well placed to send his son to a top school over here. Its also in a suburb which is well known as a traditional "upper class".
