Prime Minister Tony Abbott does not believe that Australia is experiencing a housing bubble, and has claimed that the Opposition wants house prices to fall. Meanwhile, financial system inquiry chairman David Murray has warned of the economic impact of a residential property market correction in Melbourne and Sydney. He expects the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority to pursue additional measures aimed at reining in lending to property investors.
