    PM goes from council flat to ocean views

    As housing shapes up as a key election issue, the response to the PM purchasing a $4.3 million Central Coast beach house has been split - with the Opposition labelling it "tone deaf" and others declaring it a personal matter. And this week marked one year since the failed Voice to Parliament referendum. But are we any closer to bipartisanship between the major parties on Indigenous affairs?

    Is political unity on foreign policy 'dead'?

    Opposition leader Peter Dutton refused to support the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's motion commemorating the Hamas terror attacks on October 7 - which killed 1200 Israelis. Peter Dutton took issue with the motion also recognising the suffering from the ensuing war in Gaza -which has killed approximately 42,000 - and the recent bombardment of Southern Lebanon, accusing the prime minister of "speaking from both sides of his mouth." And while there's long been political division on the matter, did this represent a complete rupture in bipartisanship on the issue?

    Social cohesion concerns as Dutton ramps up rhetoric

    As the conflict in the Middle East dramatically escalates, the Albanese Government is trying to manage social cohesion concerns at home.  While both sides of politics have condemned some protesters carrying Hezbollah flags over the weekend, Peter Dutton has ramped up the rhetoric. The Opposition leader has suggested current laws don't go far enough and is demanding tougher action to stop pro-Palestinian protests planned in the lead up to the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

    Labor's negative gearing dilemma

    Speculation over the Albanese Government's position on negative gearing has dominated the political week, after the Nine papers reported the Government had requested expert advice and modelling on possible reforms. The Prime Minister and Treasurer were quick to play down the reports - but is Labor leaving the door open to a policy on negative gearing reform at the next election? And as the Opposition starts labelling negative gearing reform a "housing tax" - are we already seeing the beginnings of a scare campaign?

    Housing wars heat up

    The Albanese Government has struggled to pass legislation this week, with It's 'Help-to-Buy' housing bill delayed by the Greens with the support of the Coalition.  The Greens say the bill - which would see the Government co-purchase houses with 40,000 first home buyers - would push up house prices, and are demanding negative gearing be phased out for their support. But Labor is refusing to budge - so, what are the risks for both parties? Paul Karp, Chief Political Correspondent at the Guardian joins Fran Kelly and Patricia Karvelas on The Party Room.

    Labor's social media ban and legislative battles

    The Albanese Government has announced it will introduce age restrictions on social media access. It comes as the Government introduces misinformation legislation to parliament - threatening big penalties for tech giants who break the law.  But while the Government is cutting through with its big tech crackdown, negotiations with the Opposition and Crossbench on the aged care overhaul, RBA reforms and the Environmental Protection Authority are proving challenging.

    Albanese Government struggles to find 'narrative'

    Australia's latest GDP figures show the economy is virtually at a standstill, but Treasurer Jim Chalmers declared Government spending was one of the only things keeping Australia out of recession. So, is he the hero, or the villain when it comes to the fight against inflation and bringing interest rates down? And the ASIO boss tried to clear up confusion about the vetting process for people fleeing Gaza for Australia, claiming people had chosen to "distort" his words.

    Is our politics becoming more 'divisive'?

    Treasurer Jim Chalmers has labelled Opposition leader the "most divisive leader" in modern history - suggesting this should be "disqualifying" for a leader.  But Peter Dutton has hit back, slamming the Treasurer for being too focused on personality rather than policy. It comes as Greens MP Max Chandler Mather controversially fronted a CFMEU protest in Brisbane, suggesting the Government had introduced "the most draconian and anti-worker" legislation against the embattled union. Will the move win the Greens votes, or risk alienating some of their base? Jacob Greber, ABC Chief Digital Political Correspondent joins Fran Kelly and Patricia Karvelas on The Party Room.
