What’s going on with Australia’s protest laws?

Nowhere else in the world sells houses quite like Australia does – on a stranger's nature strip or in their backyard, in front of a crowd, hammer and all. Street auctions have grown in popularity over recent years, as property values soar to unprecedented heights.

The Victorian Greens claim the system is designed to push up prices by pressuring buyers into paying more, and they want these street auctions gone entirely. Today we unpack why Australia does this in the first place, the state of play overseas, and whether the proposed ban is actually realistic.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Elliot Lawry
Producer: Orla Maher
Video Producer: Rosa Bowden

Headlines: Why AusAlert failed for some

Last week, the U.S. hit Australia with yet another round of tariffs, with President Donald Trump saying it's because we haven't done enough to stop modern slavery. The Australian Government says that's completely wrong. Today we're breaking down what modern slavery actually is, and why it's become the latest point of tension with one of our biggest trading partners.
