We hear a lot about affordable housing but the definition seems to differ depending where you look. We hear how the Byron Shire Council plans to address the confusion when Greens Councillor Elia Hague joins us to discuss some of the items raised in this week’s council meeting.

One of her other notices of motion related to building on floodplains, and we hear some related matters when Echo Publications Editor Aslan Shand joins us to discuss an audit report released this week of the NSW Reconstruction Authority, fresh from an interview with two key agency representatives.

It's National Road Safety Week and we hear from a father in a family driven by the preventable death of their daughter on the country’s busiest highway to campaign for the survival of others on Aussie roads.
