This week’s podcast has all the highs and lows from local news – a sports team in desperate strife! A policy failure! And poo. (But we’ll get to that later – so hold on!)
Our Hoot hosts Genevieve Jacobs and David Murtagh start with the serious stuff.
The Canberra United football team is in dire financial straits although the sums involved are paltry for government or big business.
Listen on other platforms:
The community is rallying behind the club, but how does the ask for Canberra United stack up against the payments the ACT Government makes to other sports?
And you’ve probably heard – how could you not? – that we’re in the middle of a housing crisis. It’s hitting renters and first-home buyers. Is there a solution out there?
There is, if you ask the ACT Greens.
They’ve proposed building 10,000 public houses and a rent freeze and more besides, but despite the governing agreement, nobody else in the Assembly is on board. Are they serious or just engaging in some pre-election product differentiation?
We run the ruler over their plan to house Canberra.
And finally, you might think politics and sport dominate the news, but that’s not the case anymore.
Listen carefully as David and Genevieve reveal what’s topping the Region news charts.
Also … what’s that smell?
