Episode overview
The pandemic has already taken a terrible economic toll and the recovery will take longer than first predicted. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says we are in the “fight of our lives”, with Australia recording the largest budget deficit in modern history. So who will benefit, who will lose out, and will it be enough to keep our hardest hit sectors going? On the panel to discuss this and more are: Bill Bowtell, Adjunct Professor, UNSW and Strategic Health Policy Adviser; Gigi Foster, economist, UNSW; George Megalogenis, author and journalist; Cassandra Goldie, CEO of Australian Council of Social Service; and Karen Soo, Executive Officer at the Haymarket Chamber of Commerce. With a live cross to: Simon Birmingham, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment and Katy Gallagher, Shadow Minister for Finance.
