Phil Tarrant and Major General (Ret’d) Dr Marcus Thompson examine the growing debate over Australia’s economic direction, drawing on Chris Uhlmann’s recent article in The Australian on the “Argentinisation” of Australia. They unpack the risks posed by weak productivity, rising regulation, higher costs, and falling investment – and ask what sustained economic underperformance could mean for housing, business confidence, and the nation’s broader strategic strength. Because if Australia enters an increasingly contested world from a position of economic weakness, its ability to fund defence, build sovereign capability, and protect its national interests becomes a much bigger question.
