  • 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 | 8 November
Q: Is the job of government to make genuine efforts to cut its own budgets, both state and federal, to take pressure off the Reserve Bank?
Warwick McKibbin says government spending contributes to aggregate demand, but cuts should target low-productivity activities while preserving investments with high social or financial returns.
Business Weekend | 8 November
Q: How do we prevent the stalling of the AI boom and the rollout of data centers needed for Australia's future economic growth?
Belinda Dennett says Australia has an established regulatory framework and argues that the industry must address community concerns, explain data centers' purpose and resource use, and build projects with community support.
Business Weekend | 1 November
Q: Do you get a sense, as I do, that many politicians have lost sight of the fact that it's business that creates wealth, and not politicians, not governments?
John Denton says politicians recognize that business matters but often fail to understand or enact the policies needed for businesses to thrive. He calls for governments to involve business more in policy formation and create conditions that support growth.
Business Weekend | 1 November
Q: What do you sense is the options that really face this government and potential future governments down the track?
Michael Brennan says the government needs to slow spending growth and bring revenue and spending into closer alignment. He says most of the adjustment will likely need to come from expenditure, while productivity growth can help stabilize debt over time.
Business Weekend | 25 October
Q: Does the market believe that President Trump would end the war in Iran if Republicans win the midterms, or what is the market thinking around that?
Eric Fine says markets have become more cautious about geopolitical risk, particularly because of the possibility of disrupted oil supplies and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
