About this episode

Is red tape what's holding Australia back from building the houses it needs? The Coalition thinks so, pledging to demolish the country's building code, squeezing more than 2,000 pages into just 80. Will it get more people into homes? Dave questions Andrew Bragg on the Coalition's pitch, and we hear from construction workers.

Plus, Victoria has announced plans to ban suppression orders hiding the identities of convicted rapists.

And, the spread of bird flu in Australia is getting worse. So what's being done about it? 

Listen now: 

01:02 - Should suppression orders be scrapped in some cases? 

06:26 - What would the Coalition do to fix housing?

22:46 - Bird flu vaccine for native species in captivity

Guests: 

  • Andrew Bragg, Shadow Housing Minister
