One week out until the federal election, Backchat is bringing to you the latest! First up, we explore what happened to the congestion tax which was proposed for Sydney, then scrapped as the government looks to address transport issues. Next, we speak with The Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi about their policies for the federal election on wiping student debt, higher education and housing. Lastly, student and School Strike 4 Climate protest organiser, Bailey Linton-Simpkins, joins us to speak about students’ calls for greater climate action, and the key messages they want to send to the government ahead of elections. A massive thanks to our guests for joining us on the show, and our amazing hosts, Tanita Razaghi and Sana Shaikh.
