We’ll be chatting to psychologist and social commentator Hugh McKay in our second hour. In his new book “Advance Australia Where?” he says the great Australian dream is indeed changing, pointing out that many people are now choosing to rent as a deliberate lifestyle decision, bypassing the idea of owning a house.

It’s coming at a time when buying a house costs between six and seven times the annual average income. A decade ago it was closer to four times the annual average income.

Do you think the so called ‘Australian dream’ of owning a property is attainable? Or is this now an unrealistic dream?

Maybe you’ve decided that renting for the rest of your life makes sense – or is the only option – for you.

Maybe you wanted to buy a house with a lawn and backyard but have settled instead for an apartment with a communal garden.

What does the great Australian dream mean for you? And do you have any hope of achieving it?
