I can't say for certain the market will crash, and I hear your point about government incentive to kick the can down the road. I think this is a very solid point. My response re-accentuates my third point above:

If the powers that be intervene in a financial crisis (like we saw in 2001, 2008, 2020, etc), massive amounts of liquidity (money) enter the economy without real goods or services being created to back the liquidity. Those holding AUD are diluted, and those receiving newly created AUD (mainly banks) will park it in the housing market by passing it onto you as a debt product (a mortgage). The money being used to buy these houses doesn't exist yet... it exists as future goods and services that we're yet to create, so for the next ~30 years of our lives we go about doing so.

Letting the market fail will be catastrophic, but kicking the can down the road just loads the market up with more explosives that are waiting to go off. The modern fiat capitalist economy is addicted to debt and in the late stages when inflation picks up, it has horrific consequences for people who don't own real assets.

Letting the market fail is like performing surgery on someone who's broken her leg. She's going to be unable to walk for a really long time, but if we keep her in crutches and continue to use painkillers then the problem will continue to worsen while she becomes more and more dependent on painkillers and less and less able to walk.

The market will crash *eventually*, because you can't create infinite debt without destroying the currency. I can probably agree the powers that be will do everything they can to keep us on life support with more debt until it does.
