Neil Mitchell has taken issue with Bill Shorten’s criticism of the Prime Minister’s comments about getting into the property market.

‘There is this real smell of class warfare,’ Neil said.

‘There’s a suspicion that aspiration is a bad thing, that if you’re lucky enough to have a quid in the bank, you’re a bad person.

‘The principle is: it is not wrong to help your kids.’

A couple of listeners called in with their own experiences helping their kids enter the property market.
