Changes are afoot at Socially Democratic HQ - namely, the addition of Jessie McCrone as a regular guest to the Feeney Files.
Which does mean we need a new name. If you have any brilliant suggestions, let us know in the comments.
This month:
Why is serious policy reform so difficult in Australia? We ponder the frenzied reaction to Labor’s relatively modest super tax reforms.
Clare O’Neil thinks we could solve the housing crisis by making it easier to build new homes. Is she being too optimistic?
And of course, we can’t have an episode without talking about Iran. Definitely not with David on the show.
If you’ve had your fill of election coverage and are keen for some policy and foreign affairs chat - this wide-ranging conversation is for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
