  • 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: Winners and losers from the Federal budget
Q: What's the plan behind the changes to taxation, such as the capital gains tax regime and trusts?
The guests suggest the changes are targeted at a relatively small portion of the population that holds most of the wealth, notably older cohorts and property investors, implying redistribution away from labor toward assets.
Q+A: Winners and losers from the Federal budget
Q: What is Treasury saying about what's going to happen to the economy? Is it an expansionary budget?
Stephen explains Treasury's forecast is more optimistic than the RBA due to higher productivity assumptions and certain budget measures that could boost near-term growth, though the effects may take years to materialize.
Q+A: The Week Ahead | 11 May 2026
Q: What do you expect tomorrow night in terms of economic parameters and the budget bottom line?
The budget is likely to be tight, with a balance between signaling relief and avoiding a large deficit, while revenues reflect modest reform and tax changes. There will be debate over how much policy should be expansionary versus fiscally prudent.
Q+A: The Week Ahead | 20 April 2026
Q: How concerned should we be about where this is going to take us?
It's a discussion of how weak sentiment data translate into slower consumption and investment, with the caveat that the economy may rebound if energy prices ease and the international backdrop improves, such as China's economy stabilizing.
Q+A: The Week Ahead | 20 April 2026
Q: I want to talk first of all about business confidence and consumer sentiment which we saw last week, which in a word, is dismal.
The discussion explains that sentiment and confidence readings have fallen due to shocks like petrol prices, but cautions that such readings can spike and recover, especially if oil prices stabilize and external conditions improve.
