    Personally, I found it a bit more politically driven than i would prefer, but others who enjoy that angle would likely appreciate it.

  • Easy Listening Generalist Chit Chat

    Whilst the presenters bring no specific knowledge of anything and are loathe to take a strong line, they do a nice roundup of topical events and is a good way to catch up on what’s been happening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Refinery fire means more pain, Westpac’s vital Iran warning & Gina Rinehart claims victory
Q: Wayne asks why many economists today default to calling the current environment unprecedented instead of engaging with that period of the 1970s oil shock.
The hosts acknowledge memory gaps and historical distance, suggesting that while there are lessons from the 1970s, today's shock is bigger and more immediate, making it hard for people to apply older playbooks, though elements of the traditional response, such as rationing and policy tightening, remain relevant.
Australia’s hefty Iran bill, Albanese scrounges for fuel & AFR’s budget wishlist
Q: Adam in New South Wales asks whether Australia's public sector will get a shake-up from AI and if AI will drive efficiencies like the private sector.
The hosts acknowledge AI is coming and could improve efficiency, but note the public sector is typically less incentivized than the private sector and more unionized, so uptake will be moderated by labor dynamics; long-term change is expected but may be gradual.
Oil shock hits Australia, RBA's tough love & boomers lead home loan deals
Q: Nicole asks what the implications would be if the US restricted energy exports to keep domestic prices low and whether that could push up prices globally, including in Australia.
The hosts explain that export controls would likely tighten global energy supply and lift prices worldwide, reinforcing a risk scenario where inflation pressures persist and policy responses become more aggressive; they also note that the markets would reassess global trade and security dynamics in such a scenario, potentially elevating risk to Australia's economy.
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.
