  • Shallow and misleading

    No, Indonesia will not be ‘paying 19% tariffs’, because tariffs are a tax paid by the importer (in the US), which most of us know. Please don’t reinforce the false narrative!

    Massively irritating. If there was any actual economic information, it was buried under the excessive tatting around.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q+A: The technology helping prove what’s real in the AI era
Q: Okay, So with that in mind, you have the ability to read this technology as you say, better than ever before to genuinely recognize what is real and what isn't real. What is the size of the prize for who will use it?
The prize is massive because it enables a new class of non-scripted, personalized video experiences. People could have individualized news or education streams built in seconds, with embedded verification that the content was created by a human, opening up new monetization pathways and more trusted AI-assisted content creation.
Q+A: The Week Ahead | 1 June 2026
Q: What are we expecting to see in the GDP figures for the March quarter?
Expect around zero point six percent quarter on quarter growth, with the annual figure just below three percent, implying a solid but uneven phase of growth influenced by earlier energy-related spending.
Economy heading for recession?; Bitcoin stumbles; SpaceX IPO liftoff
Q: What does the expert from HSBC Australia think about the near-term interest rate path given the slowing economy?
Paul Bloxham notes that while growth is slowing, the central bank will likely keep a cautious stance, weighing inflation against growth and the need to slow demand without triggering a recession.
Q+A: The hidden investing gap inside Australia’s super funds
Q: Why is there a gap between ethical investing aspirations and actual fund behavior?
The gap arises from a combination of index-tracking practices, limited disclosure, and the perception that ethical investments may compromise performance, though evidence suggests they can perform well while delivering positive impacts.
Q+A: The hidden investing gap inside Australia’s super funds
Q: Is the problem that members should be more proactive, or is it the fund's responsibility to ensure ethical investing?
The responsibility is shared: funds should disclose and engage with their investments, while members can advocate for changes, but disclosure improvements are needed to empower informed decision-making.
