episode Dangerous products disguised as toys sold online cover

Description

Consumer group Choice has uncovered dangerous products being sold on major online marketplaces including Amazon, eBay, Temu and AliExpress. These hazardous items include cigarette lighters disguised as children's toys and banned tongue studs that pose choking and inhalation risks. Choice is calling on the ACCC to investigate and for the government to introduce a general safety provision requiring companies to ensure product safety before sale, similar to regulations in the EU and UK.

Property prices fall but renters face steep increases

Australian property markets are experiencing declining clearance rates and falling house prices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, while growth has slowed in Perth and Brisbane from 15-20% to 10-15%. Ray White's Chief Economist Nerida Connersby warns that government housing tax reforms designed to calm price growth may discourage property investment, potentially driving rental increases of up to 30% as seen in Melbourne over the past five years. The core issue remains a critical shortage of housing supply, with the government's target of 1.2 million homes over five years never having been achieved, and builders focusing on large four-bedroom homes rather than the single-person dwellings needed for Australia's changing household demographics.
