Why Angus Taylor wants Sussan Ley's job + the plastic inside you

Australia may have a new opposition leader by tomorrow, with Angus Taylor officially challenging Sussan Ley today. As of now, eight members of the shadow frontbench have quit ahead of the partyroom vote. So how did we get here? We unpack the key players and dark horses vying for a new position.

In this week's long listen, Dave speaks with Kal about why he's hopeful Australia can get on top of its plastic addiction, what he fears most after getting his test results, and his new documentary, The Plastic Country.

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.
