On Thursday's Backchat, we’re asking if flexible working is becoming the new normal.

On Friday's Backchat, we're talking about housing.
A Housing Authority committee has decided to plug a loophole that had previously allowed public housing tenants to apply for Home Ownership Scheme flats – even if they own a private home.
The prominent case of a murder suspect found to own a subsidised flat despite also owning a luxury property on Kadoorie Hill had brought attention to the issue.
Now, anyone who has owned a property within a two-year period is banned from buying a subsidised flat.
So what does this all mean? How will this affect the waiting time for public housing?
After 9:45am, we'll look at ticket sales for the $30 cinema day on Saturday.
