This week’s podcast is sweet, depending on who you are.
David Murtagh and Genevieve Jacobs tackle the growing policy rift between ACT Labor and the Greens on housing policy and whether there are votes in it for either side.

It’s an election year, and everyone’s betting on hip-pocket issues, but is the Greens’ focus on rent or Labor’s supply solution the right one? And who is game enough to tackle the bigger questions and touch the third-rail of Australian politics?

Ferrero (makers of Ferrero Rocher, Nutella and more) says climate change is to blame for their failed farm, although the neighbours disagree. We just want to know who gave the company $70 million of our money, and under what programs? Oh yeah, and why don’t the departments have records?
Speaking of government, would random booze testing for pollies keep parliament a bit cleaner? Mr Murtagh has some surprising views.
