Shownotes Transcript

Housing isn't actually recognised as a human right by the law, but a few politicians like independent senator David Pocock want to change that.

Guests:

  • Independent Senator David Pocock
  • Charlie Thomas, acting CEO, National Farmers Federation
  • Tracey Holmes, sports podcaster and professorial fellow, University of Canberra
