Two frames. Both show couple outside building with AUCTION sign looking at brochure. Frame 1: Person one says, β€œIt’s perfect, but we’ll never be able to afford it.” Person two says, β€œBut the govt’s first homebuyers’ assistance scheme means we only need a 5% deposit…” Frame 2: person one says, β€œThe same 5% the price went up since the last time we said we’d never be able to afford it?”
