  • Mainstream media

    Excellent podcast. The Australia Institute provides data and analysis that should be used by mainstream media for its political, economic and social policy analysis. It seems solid answers to tax reform, the housing crisis, and other issues are not difficult if only governments would broaden their information input.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prices skyrocket but major fuel shortages "very unlikely"
Q: What about policy moves like cutting the fuel excise—who benefits and what are the risks?
The excise cut provides temporary relief to consumers but is expensive for the budget and tends to benefit higher-income earners more; long-term effects depend on broader tax policy and whether it supports other energy-transition measures.
Prices skyrocket but major fuel shortages "very unlikely"
Q: What are the main ways we could ration fuel if shortages worsen besides price?
Rationing could occur through explicit limits at pumps or by restricting how often and how much people can buy, though the most likely first-line measure remains price-based rationing.
Prices skyrocket but major fuel shortages "very unlikely"
Q: So how worried should Australians be about running out of petrol or diesel?
Not very worried in the near term; 80% of oil can still be moved even if chokepoints are disrupted, and Australia is rich enough that shortages would be more acute in poorer countries. Some rationing and price effects are likely, but a total run-out is unlikely.
AUKUS drags Australia towards US-Israel war on Iran
Q: What are the legal grounds being used to justify the war, if any?
The guest asserts there are none that are credible, describing the war as illegal and a mass deployment of force without an imminent threat, highlighting a disconnect between public justification and international law.
Gary Stevenson on wealth inequality and the rise of the far-right
Q: Why is wealth taxation necessary according to the guest?
Because the current system taxes income rather than wealth, allowing massive fortunes to accumulate and pass on wealth without proportional taxation, which undermines living standards for ordinary people.
