Can anyone explain why we have a "per capita recession"? Anne & Kev can't help noticing the government is in surplus and not spending enough of our public money, and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is putting a high price on money. Could it be the Labor government is more interested in the optics than the actuality of being good economic managers? Could it be that interest rate decision-making isn't much more than a puritanical morality play?
Anne & Kev have a good crack at both fiscal and monetary policy this hour.
