Description

Parliament is back - and the government has come out swinging on housing, fast-tracking its First Homebuyer Guarantee and pausing energy efficiency requirements. 

But is it bold enough to meet the moment?

Meanwhile, the Coalition’s internal split on net zero takes centre stage, with backbencher Barnaby Joyce reigniting debate on Australia’s climate commitments - and the government is more than happy to let it play out.

Patricia Karvelas and Jacob Greber break it all down on Politics Now.
