DEEP DIVE: How real estate agents are tricking first home buyers

It's hard enough already being a young person in Australia and trying to buy your first home. Saving for a deposit can take years, finding a place you're happy to live in can take months, and then after all of that, your dream might disappear in minutes when you rock up at an auction and get out-bid by a cashed up older buyer. But are real estate agents conspiring to make the experience worse? And is it driving up prices? The government in one state thinks so, and it's trying to do something about it. This year, Victoria's government says it is cracking down on "underquoting", the practice where real estate agents give a price guide for a property that's dramatically lower than what the seller will actually accept. So will it work? And will it make it easier to buy your first place? After an interest rate rise this week, we're taking a deeper look at how often underquoting is happening, and asking how much it's contributing to the stress of buying a first home.

INTERVIEW: The Iranians being silenced in Australia

Every week, protesters have been taking to the streets of Aussie cities begging for other Australians to listen. They're standing in solidarity with Iranians facing a violent crackdown by their own government, as the country's religious rulers try to crush protests and stifle debate by cutting off internet access. International observers think tens of thousands of Iranians have been killed by the regime since early January. Meanwhile, US president Donald Trump is this week threatening military action against Iran, after previously posting online that help was on the way for Iran's protesters. So could Australians do more to help Iranians? And why are some of the Iranian Australians standing up for their friends and family being harassed and threatened here? Today on the hack pod, Dave speaks with an Iranian Australian who's been copping it for her advocacy. In this extended chat, Tina Kordrostami talks with Dave about being stalked by Iranian government agents in Australia, about fearing for her family back home, and about why she's decided to quit the Australian Greens.Guests: Tina Kordrostami, Iranian Australian advocate and councillor, Ryde City CouncilGet the whole story from Hack: Follow us on InstagramSubscribe to the hack podcastListen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm

DEEP DIVE: Are boomers more addicted to their phones than Gen Z?

Often when you hear people talk about screen time, the focus is on young people. The Australian government has even banned kids from being on social media before they turn 16. But is Gen Z really the problem? Or are older generations spending more time staring at their phones (and tablets and TVs)? On the deep dive today, we ask young Aussies about screen time, disconnecting and talking to their parents about tech. Also, you'll hear from an expert who outlines which generation spends the most time on their phones, and what it's doing to their brains.
