    Super houses, voting, and can we trust polls?

    Super houses, voting, and can we trust polls?

    The election is here and Bubble Pop takes you through everything you need to know about election day and voting. Plus, one of the last policies the Coalition announced before the election would let first home buyers use their superannuation to buy a house, but what effect will that have on the housing market and retirement balances? And finally, the polls point to a Labor win, but can we trust them?

     

    Guests:

    - Michael Read, Australian Financial Review Reporter

    - Professor Murray Goot, Polling Expert

    Major policies and marginal women

    Major policies and marginal women

    The election is just ONE week away. So how should you vote? This week’s show takes a look at how Labor and the Coalition compare on major policy areas like cost of living and climate. Then, research shows women are more likely to be MPs in those pesky marginal seats the parties want to win. Why is that? And does it hinder their influence in Parliament?

     

    Guests:

    - Prof Michelle Ryan, Director of the Global Institute of Women's Leadership at ANU

Perfect, easily digestible political news reporting!

Like most, I struggle to stay on top of the constantly evolving politics landscape. This podcast however has become my weekly refresher. Well presented, I highly recommend.
