Andrew Messenger from The Guardian says Brisbane is Australia’s second-most expensive city for housing.
He wants a yes and no answer from Steven Miles and David Crisafulli and says he’ll hold them to just a one-word answer.

“Are house prices too high?” Messenger asked.
He wants to know if the leaders want house prices to go up or down.
Miles replied: “Yes, they’re too high,” which is a bit longer than one word, but he tried his best.
Crisafulli started off saying “they are…” and before he could finish, Miles interjected: “Yes or no.”
Crisafulli snapped back: “That’s a yes, but I do have the intellectual rigour to answer as well.”
Miles laughed and said “apparently”.
Anyway, Crisafulli then took the opportunity to explain for some time about fixing the supply of housing, infrastructure, the social housing waiting list, urban infill, high-density units, and a plan to roll out schools and hospitals, before apologising for the long answer.
