    I have been listening to this podcast for years, but it feels like SBS are using their second and third rate journalists for this now. Some can barely read a transcript, some have interviewing skills of a primary school student.

    It’s no longer enjoyable. Just frustrating

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Airfares Set For Take-Off As Oil Prices Push Travel Costs Higher
Q: What do the market conditions imply for consumers and investors?
Rising oil prices and expected rate hikes create cautious market sentiment, while consumers may face higher travel costs; investors are weighing inflation, rates, and the growth prospects of technology and growth stocks amid the macro backdrop.
Airfares Set For Take-Off As Oil Prices Push Travel Costs Higher
Q: Could greater competition ease fare pressures?
Yes, increased competition, potentially spurred by new entrants and the Western Sydney airport, would likely exert downward pressure on prices over time, though regulatory and market dynamics will influence how quickly that occurs.
Airfares Set For Take-Off As Oil Prices Push Travel Costs Higher
Q: What is driving the rise in airfares?
Higher jet fuel costs, hedging strategies by airlines, and capacity reductions are lifting operating costs, which in turn pushes airfares higher, especially in a market with limited competition.
INTERVIEW: How a 100-year-old population estimate may have gotten Australia wrong
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how confident you are in the 2.22 million figure?
The figure is a midpoint within a plausible range; while it could be as low as a million, that would be very unlikely given ecological and anthropological data, and estimates up to around five million remain possible within the broader range.
INTERVIEW: Why has the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates? And what are the effects?
Q: Do you think the strategy will work?
The panel member suggested that the rate increase should help prevent mortgage rates from rising further and support a more balanced savings versus investment dynamic, but emphasized that the outcome depends on how inflation evolves and external factors like energy and tech investment trends.
