This week on Jobs and Growth, we go deep on a wide spread of stories dominating headlines and arguments.
We kick things off with the P. Diddy and Erin Patterson verdicts, unpacking what they say about justice and celebrity trials. Then it's onto the RBA’s decision to hold the cash rate, Australia’s weakening dollar, and how Peter Costello’s legacy still shapes economic policy today.
From there, we turn to the U.S. debt crisis, Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” and why extending tax cuts might not be the fiscal disaster critics claim. We debate immigration, ICE, the rise of China, minimum wage policy, and the long shadow of the WTO.
We also reflect on the rise in antisemitic attacks in Melbourne, the erosion of social cohesion, and whether political leadership in Australia is up to the task.
Then, it all ends in a furious debate over who the greatest film director of all time is.
