  • No longer a fan…

    You guys are a couple of unprepared lefties who wing it each week and then slip away and privately gladly reap the $ benefits of fiscal conservative leadership. Now, we have a grown man, host James Thomson attacking Donald Trump every week and, more recently, doing impressions of him. Grow up, dude. This isn’t SNL.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI’s first Aussie job cuts, best and worst of profit season & a chook grills the RBA boss
Q: Is there a prohibition about talking about reducing the federal government's massive fiscal stimulus?
It's definitely an elephant in the room, Robert, and it definitely can be talked about.
AI’s first Aussie job cuts, best and worst of profit season & a chook grills the RBA boss
Q: Do you think it makes the RBA better, that process?
Yes, it does, and one of the things we've been trying to do, so one of the things out of the review of the RBA, and one of a number of things, but one was a point about communication.
Have we hit peak Australia, housing tax breaks under fire & AI heads in the sand
Q: Why isn't the government addressing the issues of means testing for the pension and stamp duty on housing?
The Treasurer has likely put it on the agenda, as moving towards land taxes is a concept with merit, but it faces political challenges.
New battle for bank supremacy, why blue chip CEOs are exiting and wild ASX moves
Q: If you were PM or treasurer for a day or a term, what would you do?
Strategies include increasing GST, more indirect taxes, and reevaluating capital gains tax concessions while reducing income tax to incentivize work.
Rate hike exposes mediocre economy, tech’s double meltdown & Musk’s big moment
Q: Can you tell me what will be the economic signals that the cost of living crisis is over?
If inflation got back to the middle of the RBA's 2 to 3% range, that would probably be the end of the cost of living crisis, but prices may not return to their previous levels due to years of compounding inflation.
