The Greens recently announced policy, which would freeze rental prices for the next two years.

While some like the sound of that, others including some economists don't think the plan will be good for the market or the economy in the long term.

Today The Quicky, speaks to those on both sides of the argument for rent stabilisation measures, and we hear from listeners right around the country to hear just how much we're paying for a roof over our heads.

Have you popped down the chemist lately and found the medicine you need hasn't been restocked?

That's the reality for thousands of Australians right now, as we endure medicine shortages across hundreds of different drugs, some that will put people's lives at risk if they can't be found. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at medicine supply issues, why they're still happening, how we can fix it and how you can get the drugs you need to keep your health under control.

You may have heard a few things about Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison lately. 

Some of his actions while he was Prime Minister have been called into question. But the thing is, nothing he did was actually against the law...so why are we so mad about it? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Mark Kenny about why and how Scott Morrison was able to swear himself into multiple ministries, and what changes have been made since.

Last week Sydney's Western Suburbs again lit up with gun fire. Two women murdered in what's believed to be gang related killings. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the history of Australia's gang violence and the gangland war playing out in Sydney right now.

Is this unprecedented violence or just history repeating itself with new players?
