Mat Steinwede grew up in Maroubra, ended up injecting speed every day, lived in an abandoned building in Camperdown and landed on Australia's Most Wanted. Today he runs twelve McGrath offices and is one of Australia's top real estate agents

In this episode of Alex Money Undecided, Mat tells the story from the start: the surfing, the Oxford Street years, the underworld, the judge who gave him a second chance, and the Yellow Pages and door knocking that rebuilt his life. He also shares a story he says he has never told on air.

Then we ask the question this show exists for. He built everything in a country that backed effort, risk and enterprise. What does that look like for the next kid starting from nothing, with the property market and tax settings where they are now?

In this episode, Alex Money sits down with Australian comedian and broadcaster Dave Hughes — better known as Hughsey — for a wide-ranging conversation on politics, culture, cost of living and where Australia is heading.

They unpack some of the biggest issues facing Australians today, from housing and migration to government policy, social change and the pressures being felt by everyday people.

Known for his sharp humour and unmistakable perspective, Hughsey brings a refreshingly candid take to a conversation that goes well beyond comedy.

A mix of politics, personal perspective and plenty of honest discussion — this is Dave Hughes as you may not usually hear him

Carlos Quaremba, One Nation MLC and State President, joins Alex Money for a builder-to-builder conversation on council dysfunction, the housing crisis, and what politics actually looks like behind closed doors. From a golf course redevelopment that bypassed an entire city council to the everyday roadblocks stopping homes from being built, this is a straight conversation with no slogans and no spin.

I'm not a journalist. I'm not a political commentator. I'm a regular bloke who looks at the nonsense that gets put out there and tries to make sense of it.

So when the Shadow Treasurer started following Alex Money on Instagram, I reached out and asked if he would sit down for a chat. To my surprise he said yes.

This is that conversation. No scripts, no slogans, no political jargon. Just a straight discussion about the budget that has turned Australia's housing and tax debate upside down. What these changes actually do to builders, to renters, to young people trying to buy a home. What the numbers say versus what the politicians say. And whether anyone in Canberra actually has a plan that matches the scale of the problem.

Tim Wilson is the Shadow Treasurer. He wants to run Australia's money. I wanted to know if he understood the money of the Australians he wants to govern.
