Around the Exchange: The Hindrance of Relief

Exchanges with Evan Lucas

Show Notes

This week on Around the Echange: Are government handouts actually making things worse? It's the question nobody wants to answer are we trading short-term cost of living relief for long-term economic pain?

From fuel excise cuts to energy rebates that never seem to end, is fiscal stimulus giving the Reserve Bank its worst nightmare: high inflation, low growth and rising unemployment all at once?

With central bankers caught between taming inflation and protecting growth, someone needs to say the quiet part out loud real solutions mean creating losers. Until our leaders are willing to admit that, Australia will remain stuck in this bind.
