    excerpts:
    [The RBA boss Glenn Stevens was again pressed today on housing affordability, especially for younger people, by some school children. The issue has been asked at Mr Stevens at past House of Representative's economics committee meetings too.
    He also noted it "turns out there was a lot more invested in [property] lending than we all knew in the past.]

    [NAB reclassified previously reported data, which boosted the value of NAB's housing investor loans to $93 billion from the $66.6 billion previous notification.]

    ------------------------------------

    Are our banks fudging their numbers now? A 66.6 increase to 93 billion is not a small number, shouldn't NAB be fined or something. Sounds like the banks are giving Glenn the runaround!

    A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money.

    I can fudge the numbers here for you.

    We have four houses each with a mortgage against them. The one we live in is our PPOR and we are OOs. However the OO loan was paid out years ago and the new loan against this house is for the deposits against the other IPs. Effectively 20% of our borrowing would have been classed as an OO loan last year but it is now counted as an investment loan should the bank be able to get away with increasing the interest rate on it.

    Of course Stevens wants to talk up the economy. He's trying to hide his fear of the unknown state of the Chinese economy.
