I was making a bit of a throw away comment, based on headlines I had seen, not a careful analysis, so I just had in mind these figures:…

It seems absurd to me that a family earning about three times the average income would struggle paying for a house just a bit above average…

They have offers for Westpac, and separate offers available to the other group of cards/brands. So each of the sub-brands are equal, but if…
