Jan. 29, 2024 - Parliament returns for its winter sitting and the housing crisis is top of the political agenda. Power & Politics speaks with Housing Minister Sean Fraser about an expansion of the government's low-cost loans program to build more student housing. Plus, the long-awaited public inquiry into foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections begins. Human rights groups representing some diaspora groups say they could withdraw from the inquiry if three politicians accused of ties to Beijing are allowed to cross-examine them. P&P hears from the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project.
