Backchat

Sydney’s Western Suburbs was formerly considered a ‘first-time homebuyers’ haven, now it seems like the housing crisis has hit the West. Charlton Wun from the Western Sydney Community Forum joins us to discuss the mounting housing stress that is facing homeowners and renters in Sydney’s Western suburbs. Also in the show, Backchat reporter Eamonn Snow takes a look into Mumble Rap, pop-culture and prescription drug abuse. Later, the proposal that comes up every election cycle—a high speed train connecting capital cities on the East Coast of the country. Joey Watson, a features writer at Radio National, and presenter of Out of the Box here on FBi Radio, joins to talk about just how feasible this proposal is.
