Sorrento Writers Festival - Smashed Avos

Chris Kohler, Bernard Salt and Katrina Strickland

In October, 2016, demographer Bernard Salt, in his Weekend Australian column, said millennials could afford house deposits if they stopped buying expensive, $22 "smashed avocado” brunches. On the 10th anniversary of his much-publicised piece, we invite its author to reflect upon the nation's housing crisis and where to from here for keen young Australians itching to get into the market. Bernard will be joined by Chris Kohler,  finance journalist and author of How They Get You: Sneaky Everyday Economics and Smart Ways to Hold on to Your Money.
