- Curious and insightful host
This is a weekly listen for me. Peter Martin always extracts the best from guests. The focus on inequality and policy impacts on Australians is terrific.

Australia9 days ago - Economists out of touch
I listen regularly and more commonly than I would like find myself shaking my head at the presenter and “experts”. In this episode there was “overwhelming” convincing evidence that Australians were more concerned about inflation over unemployment. This was based on a survey of 9,000 out 28,000,000 people (0.03% of the population)!!!
The next question is from which demographic?

Interesting topics but frustrating that the host is constantly interrupting guests and speaking, rather than letting the experts speak.

Host needs to be gone: old, patronising dinosaur. Good episode on the current time being like the 1930s but again, it’s a bunch of boomers running the show. The deteriorating conditions started with Gen X. Employment was very hard to find, house prices started to go up then. Great how the hosts thinks it’s started with the Millenials. And for those who are worried about Hanson, you asked for it by bringing in Albo. Politics in the middle is best for Oz
