Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The great Australian wealth gap
Q: What can we do to rebalance things away from Australians, away from generations who are very and increasingly well off?
Policies need to be reevaluated to ensure they aid the next generation rather than perpetuating inequality, focusing on education and funding public schools to improve access.
The great Australian wealth gap
Q: Does any of this, any of the economic divide really matter?
Inequality is empirically shown to slow down economic growth, leaving talented individuals behind and ultimately detracting from growth.

Q: What if Australia doesn't get to net zero?

Q: Anna, tell us what we know about what the government has decided today.
