On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan break down Victoria’s new rental laws coming into effect in 2021 with Professor of Housing and Social Policy at Swinburne University Wendy Stone.
Then, ABC’s China correspondent Bill Birtles gets on the line to talk about the ‘Foreign Correspondent’ Hong Kong special on ABC TV ‘City of Fear’, and his coverage of China since he was forced to flee the country in September last year.
And CEO of the Paul Ramsay Foundation, Professor Glyn Davis AC, discusses his new essay ‘On Life’s Lottery’ that addresses how entrenched intergenerational poverty puts the poor at a serious disadvantage in a meritocracy, when wealth and privilege acts intergenerationally too.
