  • Some episodes are better than others. The Fin needs to be careful it doesn't become a replacement opposition voice while the coalition find their way. It should also try and avoid keeping its readers awake at night worrying about people with more than $3m in their super accts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anthony Albanese now has 'a list' – and that’s a problem
Q: What is the strategy on migration policy, given public concern about population growth?
The strategy focuses on reducing net overseas migration to target levels while tightening enforcement on overstayers and improving family reunification rules, with contentious political calculations about who bears the political risk.
Anthony Albanese now has 'a list' – and that’s a problem
Q: How might the Melangate controversy affect Albanese's political standing ahead of the next election?
The controversy has damaged perceptions of judgment and has lowered the PM's standing among certain voter segments, though the impact depends on how effectively the government manages messaging and policy substance going forward.
Anthony Albanese now has 'a list' – and that’s a problem
Q: Phil, where did the government land on gambling reforms, and does it go far enough?
The government edged the reforms further than originally planned, adding stronger measures on advertising and inducements to address problem gambling, while trying not to cripple the broader industry, aiming for a pragmatic middle ground.
Why this property downturn is different to the rest
Q: What could trend this downturn toward a more severe path?
A sharper and more prolonged drop in confidence, sharper unemployment rise, or policy missteps could amplify the downturn, but the current data suggest a relatively contained path with some recovery potential.
Why this property downturn is different to the rest
Q: How does this downturn compare with previous housing downturns?
While some metrics mirror past slowdowns, this cycle is unique in its timing and policy backdrop; national prices are falling, but the declines are driven by a mix of higher rates and tax policy changes, with the depth varying by city and segment of the market.
