When you say borrow big what do you mean. How many time income?

Vast majority of australian citizens? I don't think a vast majority are up to their eyeballs. There could be a fairly large number who bought in more recently (last 5 years or so - depending on where you are) but I wouldn't think it is a vast majority of citizens. Having said that I don't believe it would take a vast majority of these to default to cause a crash. Poor economic conditions, poor population growth, over building and significant changes to interest rates, either alone or the combined minor impacts of all these could lead to a crash following moderate levels (say 5-10% of all mortgages) of defaults.

Quick google shows you can get 5 year fixed rates of 1.99% HSBC, 10 year fixed 2.97%...doesn't look like they feel rates are going anywhere dramatic in the coming years.
