  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NextDC's electric shock, NAB says 2500 jobs must go & Musk’s $5trn move
Q: As prolific as you both are, I wonder if being on the latest AI-powered tech might further boost your productivity, and through it, demonstrate to corporate Australia the importance of investing in the latest tech?
The hosts say they use AI cautiously for research, fact-checking, mathematics and transcription, but emphasize protecting journalistic accuracy, accountability, trust and individual voice. They expect AI adoption and its effects on jobs to grow.
NextDC's electric shock, NAB says 2500 jobs must go & Musk’s $5trn move
Q: If we want to see productivity gains and benefits in the Australian economy, should the federal government look at applying financial disincentives to companies that outsource rather than seek to achieve true productivity?
James Thomson opposes government intervention that dictates how companies run their businesses, while Anthony Macdonald says government and business should work together to improve productivity rather than punish offshoring.
Firmus fallout goes global, the big energy lie & housing can’t find a bottom
Q: Given that Australia has faced a structural under supply of new residential development for the better part of 20 years, and private credit has stepped in to do a massive amount of the heavy lifting for developer funding, what would our property market actually look like today without that industry?
The hosts say private credit has filled a funding gap left as banks withdrew from property construction. Banks might offer cheaper loans but less flexibility, and factors such as falling house prices, construction costs and planning delays would still constrain housing supply.
Firmus fallout goes global, the big energy lie & housing can’t find a bottom
Q: How did the highly paid investment bankers and advisors allow this deal to go ahead and get it so very wrong?
Macdonald says bankers earn fees for advising and managing deals, but should bridge the gap between companies and investors. He thinks they misjudged the pricing or failed to communicate the market's concerns to Firmus, and will share blame for the failed float.

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.
