	Description:		Welcome back to The Hill I’ll Die On, our Friday mini-series where members of the Property Couch crew share bold property and money opinions they’re willing to stand behind. This week, tax expert Julia Hartman joins Ben Kingsley to tackle a controversial topic: Blaming landlords for the housing crisis. Julia argues that increasing taxes, regulations, and costs for investors may actually reduce rental supply — which can drive rents even higher. In this episode, she unpacks the unintended consequences of policy decisions, the role of market forces, and why some widely accepted solutions may not be solving the problem. It’s a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the current narrative around housing in Australia. Got a question or a “hill” you want us to unpack? Send it through here
