However, many doubt the feasibility of this massive undertaking. Dimity Clancey looks at the stories of Australians struggling to find affordable housing and explores potential solutions to this troubling issue.

Trump, known for his ruthless political tactics, has upped the ante in his bid to regain the presidency, resorting to increased belittling and slandering of his opponents.

However, a damning memoir by his nephew, Fred Trump, reveals a side of the former president that shows a new level of cruelty and nastiness. Amelia Adams investigates the impact of these revelations and explores the dynamics within the Trump family as election day approaches.
