REB’s editorial team unite to unpack the tenuous political landscape that’s currently at play across Australia. Host Grace Ormsby is joined by journalists Juliet Helmke and Kyle Robbins to recount the federal and state government developments that have taken place over the last week, most notably as they relate to the Housing Australia Future Fund and the rental crisis plaguing the nation.
