In this episode, we’re joined by Rob Stokes, Chairman of Faith Housing Alliance and Professor of Environment and Sustainability, to discuss some of today's most pressing social issues.
We begin with the housing crisis in Sydney and Melbourne, now among the world’s most expensive cities. Rob shares insights from his work on how we can address this growing challenge.
We’ll also take an in-depth look at the state of education in Australia. Despite significant investments, recent NAPLAN results reveal persistent disparities, with many students falling below the national standard. Rob will discuss the key challenges facing our education system and share his thoughts on how we can create a more equitable and effective system for all students.
We then explore Australia’s journey toward net-zero emissions and renewable energy. With rising power costs and massive infrastructure demands, Rob offers his take on whether we’re on the right path.
Tune in for a deep dive into these critical issues with Rob Stokes.

Smart Cities expert Meredith Hodgman joins the Podcast to delve into this question and help us all understand what a smart city really is.
