  • Volume please

    It’s amazing that I can hear the adds perfectly but the dialogue is so quiet. Please turn up the volume I can always turn it down at my end. I just can’t hear it. why? Is this to make the adds louder. Ruins the entire program.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Business Weekend | 26 April
Q: What would you require to build another refinery to overcome supply worries?
Wyatt pointed to the need for strong government policy support and favorable long-term economics, noting that safety nets and incentives would be critical to making a new refinery financially viable against imports and declining domestic demand.
Business Weekend | 26 April
Q: Given the economics of your refinery, would it be commercially sensible to build another refinery in Australia?
Wyatt explained that while the refinery is viable with government safety nets like the Fuel Security Services payments, building new refineries is extremely capital-intensive, takes 5-10 years to construct, and may require a 20-year payback, making large new builds difficult in the current environment.
Business Weekend | 12 April
Q: How will AI and automation reshape job security and career planning?
The guest emphasizes focusing on core human capabilities and adaptable skills rather than chasing fixed job titles, highlighting the importance of fluency with AI tools and ongoing learning to stay employable.
Business Weekend | 1 March
Q: What is the RBA's current challenge in balancing inflation and employment?
The guest explains that the RBA's mandate complicates any effort to simultaneously push inflation down and maintain full employment, noting that aggressive rate rises or cuts have trade-offs and that the bank must be careful not to overstep in trying to engineer a perfect outcome.
Business Weekend | 22 February
Q: Will the next generation be better off than their parents?
