About the episode

Thursday Headlines: Coalition front bench revealed, head of UNRWA calls US-backed aid model a 'distraction from atrocities', 21 charges authorised against Andrew Tate and his brother, More Australians turning to green homes, and Queenslanders are licking their wounds this morning after Origin thumping. Deep Dive:  From shoes and prosthetics to firearms and even human organs - 3D printing has come a long way. Now, the technology is being used to build homes.   Australia’s first 3D printed social housing has just been completed in NSW - using 70 tonnes of concrete and delivered in less than half the time of a traditional build.   In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Contour 3D CEO Nick Holden, one of the minds behind the project as well as UNSW Professor Hank Haeusler to unpack how safe these homes really are and whether we can expect to see more of them being built across the country.  Follow The Briefing:  TikTok: @listnrnewsroom  Instagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast  YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroom  Facebook: @LiSTNR Newsroom
