This week we take a look at the crossbench. What is it? Why is it important? And do they have more power than major parties sometimes? We sit down with crossbench senator Rex Patrick, to talk it all through and how he is helping keep the government transparent and accountable.

The Bubble bursts... for now!

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

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?
