one of the best podcasts you've done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed this episode, but I’d encourage you to think even bigger. While housing is undeniably critical, it’s part of a broader issue — access to national wealth. The real first priority should be ensuring that the wealth of this country is meaningfully reflected in the lives of all Australians. That includes housing affordability but also fair wages, accessible healthcare, quality education, and stronger public services. Let’s start from the root, not just the branches.
Your guest would be better for the Nationals than the current leader.
Kinda sad I've crossed to the dark side of the border (NSW). Wishing David all the best.
Your guest may not have been a politician for long but she has mastered the non answer.
The Nats are beholden to Cotton and Coal and farmers are way behind on their list of priorities, that's why the minir parties are growing their votes.
This is a great episode. I smiled from end to end. Well worth it.
If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't know what's going on. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great guest, thanks for the interview ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
