  • He who pays the piper calls the tune

    If you want to listen to a couple of people prevaricate particularly when it comes to answering people’s questions and calling out obviously poor political behaviour which has negative consequences for Australia then this is the podcast for you. As beneficiaries of the federal governments $67m journalist assistance fund it’s obvious why they go so soft.

  • De dollarisation

    I was astounded to hear the hosts had no idea about de dollarisation. It is only one of the most important topics in current finance and they were clueless. Not good for an apparent financial podcast!

  • Expected better

    Similar to the other AFR podcast, it’s a little soft and waffling for me. And a little bit too politically bias.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Australia ageing (dis)gracefully, a diesel disaster looming & AI at the Chook lunch
Q: Pip's other choice question: will there be an interest rate rise, or a sports outcome?
The hosts predict an interest rate rise next week as the most probable scenario, while acknowledging uncertainty in other events.
Australia ageing (dis)gracefully, a diesel disaster looming & AI at the Chook lunch
Q: Pip asked about the impact of AI on offshore call centers and whether jobs will be automated away.
Hosts agree that call centers are a primary target for automation and expect increased use of voice-activated AI, with a cautious view on how quickly humanoids might replace human workers in sensitive roles.
Ugly choice between stagflation and recession, China's EV shock spreads & Bathla mess grows
Q: What bailout is more in the national interest, Bathla or Tomago aluminium?
They debated staying out of direct government takeover or big bailouts, leaning toward targeted relief rather than nationalization, and suggesting relief measures like payroll tax relief rather than large loans, to avoid propping up non-competitive sectors.
$3b builder collapse sparks drama, Profit season's best and worst & Ooshies grocery battle
Q: What did Profit Season tell us about Australia's economy and boardroom sentiment?
It underscored oligopolistic dynamics across key industries, with competition centered on market share and efficiency rather than disruption by new entrants.
The real housing problem, what profit seasons tell us & KPMG cooked again
Q: In the context of data centers, who is auditing or monitoring the power usage and capacity to ensure these projects don't strain the grid?
The hosts discuss the lack of a centralized register and suggest that an energy regulator could take on the responsibility, but there isn't a definitive, established system yet; the question emphasizes needing transparent tracking of data-center energy demands and obligations.
