About this episode

This episode covers the latest news including the housing market downturn, Donald Trump's recent actions, and political discussions around melons and smelters in Australia.

This is the week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Eliza Harvey. We’re starting this week with the housing market, which, after all, is our national pastime. This week saw some heavyweights give us their take on where things are at and where it might be going.  Donald Trump has delivered an executive order on vaccinations, linking vaccines to rates of autism. He also confirmed a ruse to ensure he was removed from the risk of being shot down in Air Force One.  And, we’ll explain why melons and smelters have been the focus in Aussie politics this week.
