That’s a wrap – thank you for reading The Australian Financial Review Need to Know blog this Monday, April 14.

Here’s a rundown of some of our top stories today:

• Opposition leader Peter Dutton’s son has made an appearance on the election campaign trail, talking to reporters about his struggles saving for a home. It did prompt one awkward question, which Dutton refused to answer.
• The Prime Minister has stayed tight-lipped on whether he thinks house prices should fall in order to make homeownership a reality for more Australians
• There are new calls for the government to set aside billions of dollars to fund pay rises of up to 35 per cent for private sector nurses, heaping pressure on the federal budget.
• Former NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says Australia must look past the “theatre” of the Trump administration, and pay close attention to the work the administration is doing to attract international investment.
