Workers and young people in Australia are experiencing a severe housing crisis, with rent and mortgage repayments skyrocketing, homelessness on the rise, and constant attacks on public housing. We talked to Martin Barker, socialist and tenant advocate, about what's going on and who's to blame. Chloe and Emma also got a bit journalistic for this episode. We sought out activists at the front line of the fight for public housing and renters' rights. We asked students from the Get a Room campaign what it's like dealing with Sydney's rental market, and we spoke to public housing tenant Caroline Ienna about how NSW Labor is helping developers kick her out of her home. We also heard some spicy retorts to Phillip Lowe's recent "helpful advice" to young people. Stay tuned for part 2 on the housing crisis, where we get into the meat of how capitalism has shaped housing and our cities, and how a socialist society would organise things differently.

This week's episode is one we prepared earlier (26 March 2023 to be exact) which means past us have just found out that Labor won the NSW election, and we don't yet know the Safeguard Mechanism reforms are destined to pass Parliament with Greens support. Slightly confusing, but bear with us as we forge ahead, titillating and teasing our dear Summeruperers with the promise of Tennant's t-shirt designs invoking Die Hard/Die Harder but make it Safeguard. Folks, if you want to see the glory that is the ‘Safe Guarder' premier LMSU t-shirt design start your twitter engines and let the spamming begin!Before we dive into this week's paper we discuss the recent release of the IPCC's Synthesis report, completing the Sixth Assessment Report. The last major report we'll see from the IPCC prior to the end of this critical decade, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned, the “climate time-bomb is ticking” and we need “climate action on all fronts - everything, everywhere, all at once.” Hear, hear!This week's paper is a swashbuckling sum-up (slaying?) of Volume 6: Managing the climate transition, part of the national Productivity Commission's latest 5-yearly productivity inquiry, the 1,000 page monster Advancing Prosperity. A hard no for charismatic abatement but a yes on one economy-wide policy to rule them all, your intrepid hosts have thoughts! Many, many thoughts.Tennant's One More Thing is a shout out to the smart folks in NSW Treasury on a newly produced guideline, TPG23-08 NSW Government Guide to Cost-Benefit Analysis, which bakes in a value of carbon referencing the EU ETS spot price (around $140/tonne). Super interesting prospects for government policy making. Kudos NSW Treasury peeps!Frankie's One More Thing is the recent (well it was when we recorded!) NSW election result with the NSW Labor party claiming victory for the first time in twelve years. Recapping key climate election commitments, a good foundation and plenty of room for more ambition!Luke's One More Thing completes the NSW trifecta with a shout out to outgoing NSW Treasurer, Energy and Climate Minister, Matt Kean, for championing the economic opportunities of the climate transition and his contribution to bipartisan climate policy in recent years. A hat tip to you, Matt!And that's all from us this week Summerupperers! We shall see you next time and until then, please keep tweeting your thoughts to us at @LukeMenzel, @TennantReed and @FrankieMuskovic and if you would like to weave some golden threads through our back catalogue, give us your feelpinions or suggest papers to read we are always here for that - hit us up at mailbag@letmesumup.net.

Ben Davison takes a look at Angus Taylor's dreadful performance on Insiders and the disproportionate focus on tax concessions for the wealthiest at a time when more people than ever are working multiple jobs and wages are making up less and less of our national income. Unions keep raising these issues and reminding us that superannuation is for retirement, not tax evasion, and you can join your union at australianunions.org.au/wow Stuart Robert is the opposition spokesperson for superannuation but was to busy avoiding media scrutiny over his time as the minister responsible for Robodebt to get involved in the attacks on Labor's reforms. Ben looks at how the Robodebt royal commission has exposed the media's lack of focus on the material reality of millions of Australians and how that allowed a consequence free environment for the Morrison ministers. The NSW Labor Party is launching it's state election campaign in Hurstville TODAY and Mary Doyle launched her campaign for Aston on Saturday. While neither story was covered on Insiders, Ben looks at why these are crucial campaigns and very winnable for Labor. More broadly Ben laments that the Insiders panel wants reform but remains addicted to the gotcha moments and feeding of the Murdoch/Stokes outrage machinery. Also this week we won an Adelaide Fringe AWARD for "best workshop and talks". You can still get tickets to our FINAL two LIVE shows here: https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/the-week-on-wednesday-live-with-van-badham-ben-davison-live-podcast-af2023 We hope to see you at the Yurt on Wednesday!

Ben Davison looks at the recent polling showing a surge in support for Chris Minns and the NSW Labor party at the expense of Dom Perrottet's Liberal/National coalition government. Ben goes through why working people have had enough of the cuts, the costs and the waste during a decade of mismanagement by the Liberals. Also how unions are getting organised to win better pay, services and more secure jobs, join them at australianunions.org.au/wow. You can check out Van and Ben's interview with Labor leader Chris Minns from December 7th on Episode 114 of The Week on Wednesday. The Voice enjoys support from a majority of Australian's in a majority of states. While Dutton "reaches for the Abbott playbook" and the conservative media try to pretend otherwise every state, except Queensland, would deliver a comfortable majority YES to for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice referendum. Ben breaks it down state by state. Ben touches on the retirement of Jacinda Ardern. Van's Guardian article articulates why she was important, not just to New Zealand but to many people around the world. Ben closes off with an examination of the escalating problems at Qantas. Remember you can hear what the maintenance workers were telling Ben and Van back in September in Episode 104 about Joyce's cuts. SIX MONTHS BEFORE the four "mechanical issues" in three days that the airline has suffered this week.

Join Van, Ben and the NSW Labor leader as they discuss the need to put workers at the centre of reform, how each of us can improve our communities by talking with people about the issues we face and why being opposition leader is a hard job but doesn't have to mean always being negative.

Don't forget wherever you work, whoever you work for you need to be a union member and can join at australianunions.org.au/wow And the good news is the re-election of Democratic Senator in Georgia Raphael Warnock!

Prayer is 'absurd' in politics: Greens MP The NSW Greens have renewed a push to abolish Christian prayers in state parliament, saying the tradition is "absurd" and alienating to the general community. "I think it is absurd," Greens MP Abigail Boyd told AAP of the tradition. "When I worked at Kmart, we did not have to stand and listen to The Lord's Prayer before we opened all the registers up," she added. "I think most people in the real world think that it is quite extraordinary." Momentum to remove the Christian tradition from public institutions is growing across the country, according to Rationalist Society of Australia president Meredith Doig. "People are wanting change, and that includes change to the tradition of privileging one religion over another," Dr Doig told AAP. NSW councils including Shoalhaven and Wagga Wagga had already opted to switch to a moment of quiet reflection, she said. In Victoria, the Mildura Rural Council has received a motion from councillor Jodi Reynolds to replace prayer with an affirmation. "A prayer is something that is said in your home (or) in your church. The council chamber is a workplace," Ms Reynolds said. The tradition also stifled diversity on the council, she said. "The more diversity that you can get in any governing body ... the more that chamber can represent your community, the better decisions you make." "A prayer is something that is said in your home (or) in your church. The council chamber is a workplace," Ms Reynolds said. Ms Boyd previously launched an unsuccessful motion to have the prayer removed in 2019. Any motion to remove the prayer from Australian parliaments would not be supported by Liberal MP Tanya Davies. "It is a reminder to all MPs to serve with humility, conviction, compassion, justice and equity," she told AAP. A spokesperson from NSW Labor said they did not support the motion. Motions to alter the tradition were stridently opposed by outgoing Labor MP Walt Secord, whose office was inundated with calls against the idea when it was first floated. "Surprisingly adherents to non-Christian faiths, including Hindus and Muslims, saw it as an attack on all people of faith, not just The Lord's Prayer," he said in 2019. This is just my opinion.

Join us for the return of On Liberty for 2022 as we talk to senior fellow at the University of Sydney's United States Studies Centre Stephen Loosley to find out what film can teach us about the possible cold wars to come. As Russia masses troops on the Ukrainian border and China ramps up its military presence in the South China Sea and South East Asia, the development of new Pacific and global alliances such as the quad and AUKUS creates tensions amongst the world superpowers, it seems like a new cold war is on the horizon. But do rising tensions really mean that the West faces "New Cold Wars"? Maybe the movies can tell us. We discuss what films like Wolf Warrior, Viking, and of course Dr. Strangelove mean for the state of international affairs. Does Xi Jinping's weaponisation of Wolf Warrior II presage a more global Chinese military adventurism? Does Vladimir Putin's endorsement of Viking telegraph his intention to invade Ukraine? And what do our own Cold War movies tell us about ourselves? Join us on YouTube at 12.30pm, Wednesday 23 February, as we find out. Stephen Loosley is a senior fellow at the University of Sydney's United States Studies Centre and a former NSW Labor senator from 1990 to 1995 and ALP national president from 1991-1992.He is a regular commentator on US elections in Australian media outlets.
