Fiona talks to Emma Bacon from Sweltering Cities about recent indications from the Victorian Government to introduce minimum standards for rental homes on cooling, and what we need them to put into law to make homes safer for older people in heat waves.

We also talk about a new heat stress tool(link is external), the annual Summer Survey(link is external) and how heatwaves are a systemic issue that need to be tackled by all levels of government and community, not just individuals.
