Australian households are still very much feeling the pressure of a higher cost of living. Some have found ways to get cheaper groceries using unusual methods. One such method which is becoming more and more popular is to become a member of a food co-op that's managed in person or online. Eight years ago, Angela Webster became a member of the Veggie Co-op to try to reduce the cost of her groceries.“I'd just been widowed. So, I was a full-time working mom with a five-year-old son. And I really wanted to find ways of connecting to community, and also ways to feed him healthily,” she explains. The Veggie Co-op started in the 1970s when a group of single Sydney mothers decided to put some of their money into a common pot to buy fresh produce. Today, the 12 families that are part of that group are saving a significant amount of money. Each week, one of the families is in charge of going to the local Flemington markets to buy 12 boxes of fruit and vegetables wholesale and at a discount. “Then you just pick up from whoever did the shop on that day. And we all contribute exactly the same amount of money. So, $25,” says Veggie Co-op member Anne Jackson. “If you went and bought that one at the common supermarkets you'd probably pay over 200 bucks,” adds Webster.  After years of inflation, some retail prices are starting to go down in Australia. But for many households, the shopping bill is still very high. Some consumers are being creative to keep costs low. Farmer Jayne Travers-Drape created an app that puts consumers and growers directly in touch. “The orders go directly to the farmers once they close off in our app and they're picked and then packed and they arrive at my hub between 24 and 48 hours,” says Box Divvy founder Jayne Travers-Drape. “This kind of community-based pushback where you unite together with more people so as to have more market power is a mechanism through which consumers can try to actively work against that kind of price gouging,” says Gigi Foster of the University of New South Wales.

In this episode, I delve into a topic that has been a recurring theme in my work and discussions: the influence of industry on policy, particularly the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries, and their impact on healthcare. The pandemic has served as a wake-up call for many, highlighting issues that have been present for decades but are often overlooked. Joining me is Professor Gigi Foster from the University of New South Wales School of Economics, a returning guest whose insights into the economics of wellbeing, the effects of societal policies, and the importance of science and freedom are more relevant than ever. This conversation is a deep dive into the critical issues facing our society, the importance of questioning mainstream narratives, and the need for a collective effort to promote science and freedom. Whether you've been following these issues for years or are new to the conversation, this episode offers valuable perspectives on navigating the complexities of health care, policy, and societal well-being in the face of industry influence. Join us as we explore these pressing topics and consider the path forward for a healthier, more informed society. ----    Shownotes are available at Prof Gigi Foster: Australians for Science and Freedom ----    Join the Unstress Health Community & Transform Your Life! https://bit.ly/3SRq0gg    Connect with Dr Ron at Unstress Health  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unstresshealth/  Facebook: https://fb.me/unstresshealth  Email: admin@unstresshealth.com     DISCLAIMER: This podcast provides general information and discussion about medicine, health and related subjects.

Gigi Foster has been vocal about her views on government policies related to the COVID-19 pandemic. She has also examined the hidden costs of lockdowns in a paper published in the Australian Journal of Labour Economics.

 In the Great Panic of early 2020, normal life was replaced by a new society, managed by a medical/ruling elite that promised but failed to deliver virus mitigation. In Australia, rules that were sold to us as “for the greater good” in fact delivered horrific losses that will cripple us for a generation. Yet the upheavals of the past three years were powered by tensions that pre-date Covid-19, including declining living standards and rising pessimism. As economies continue to recover from the catastrophe of Covid-19 lockdowns, we must re-embrace the pursuit of progress, an idea that is central to science, freedom, and a thriving society. - Watch UNSW's Professor Gigi Foster and earn 0.25 CE/CPD hrs on Portfolio Construction Forum

We take a trip down memory lane to review the 4th show ever and the (at the time) highly controversial Dr Foster who in 2020 said we were going too far on lockdowns. The dust has settled on the pandemic now so we can look back and review who said what and what we can take away from the mistakes made going forward. We run through the salient points of her new book "Do lockdowns and border closures serve the “greater good”?

“How many people would you be willing to kill in order to save one from COVID? That is essentially the trade-off. That's the kind of question we should have been asking.” As any economist will tell you: with every action, there is a cost. Yet few seemed to think about the fact that COVID policies could be more deadly than the virus itself, says Gigi Foster, a professor at the University of New South Wales' School of Economics and co-author of “The Great Covid Panic: What Happened, Why, and What To Do Next.” From skipped cancer screenings to impeded speech development in toddlers to growing social inequality, when we add it all up, what price did we pay?

GUEST OVERVIEW: Dr Sanjeev Sabhlok took a PhD in economics from the USA and came to Australia from India in 2000 where he became a senior civil servant. Unfortunately, in March 2020, Australia turned on a dime imposing society-wide lockdowns, border closures and mandatory masks in open parks. Before this Australia had a regime of risk-based regulation and a requirement for cost-benefit analysis, both being matters on which Sanjeev advised Victoria governments for 15 years as a senior economist. Sanjeev resigned from the Victorian Government in protest. Sanjeev assisted Prof. Gigi Foster in a cost-benefit analysis that confirms the enormous harms caused to Australia by the major parties. He was a candidate for the Victorian Seat of Menzies for the Australian Federation Party during the last Federal election.

She holds qualifications in ethics, politics and economics, and joined Discernable for a second time to explain inflation and cost of living. As the world suffers escalating prices on nearly all goods and services, are we experiencing inflation? Or is this simply market prices reflecting fluctuating supply/demand curves? Is this a temporary phenomenon caused by supply chain disruption? Or is all the money printing by central banks devaluing our currencies?

She works in diverse fields including education, social influence, corruption, lab experiments, time use, behavioural economics and Australian policy. In 2017 she was awarded an Australian Award for University Teaching (AAUT) Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning.

She regularly writes for both academic and popular press, and appears on TV and radio programs across Australia.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Sanjeev took a PhD in economics from the USA and came to Australia from India in 2000 where he became a senior civil servant. Unfortunately, in March 2020, Australia turned on a dime imposing society-wide lockdowns, border closures and mandatory masks in open parks. Before this Australia had a regime of risk-based regulation and a requirement for cost-benefit analysis, both being matters on which Sanjeev advised Victoria governments for 15 years as a senior economist. Sanjeev resigned from the Victorian Government in protest. Sanjeev has been assisting Prof. Gigi Foster in a cost-benefit analysis that confirms the enormous harms caused to Australia by the major parties. He is a candidate for the Victorian Seat of Menzies for the Australian Federation Party. 

Michael is joined by Gigi Foster, Professor with the School of Economics at the University of New South Wales & co-author of ‘The Great Covid Panic: What Happened, Why, and What To Do Next', about Australia's economy following the measures put in place throughout the pandemic. Professor Foster says, ‘In the Great Panic of early 2020, nearly every government in the world restricted the movement of its population, disrupted the education of its children, suspended normal individual liberties, hijacked its healthcare system, and in other ways increased its direct control of people's lives.' ‘Attempts to control the new coronavirus in most countries made the number of deaths from both the virus and other health problems rise. Some countries and regions snapped out of the madness in early 2021 or even before. Yet other governments, still in 2021, were ever more fanatically obsessed with control.'

Bussey spoke with Paul Frijters, Gigi Foster, and Michael Baker, authors of The Great Covid Panic: What Happened, Why, and What To Do Next (2021). Joining the interview from Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and Australia, the three economists shared their perspectives on the past two years. In their book, the authors looked at the pandemic in terms of a wellbeing analysis. Understanding the psychology of crowds can help us make sense of what happened in 2020, as an emotional wave of human panic swept the world. Recognizing the dynamics of power, and the political and corporate opportunism that followed, can help to explain why that state of panic has continued for so long, despite the harms caused by government interventions. Looking ahead, we can expect a lengthy recovery. Trust in our institutions has been broken and will be very difficult to repair. Although we may hope for justice – or even an apology – we are not likely to see any official acknowledgement of wrongdoing. Instead, we can already observe a changing of the narrative as the focus shifts to new crises. Where does that leave us? First, Gigi reminds us that evil triumphs when the good stay silent. Let your voice be heard. Second, practice stepping back from the crowd to examine your own behaviour; don't outsource your conclusions to the crowd. Finally, Paul recommends bypassing failed institutions by forming local groups to rebuild a productive civil society. We think this is such an important conversation that we'd like to offer a copy of The Great Covid Panic to one of our viewers!

I'm joined today by three of Australia's top economists to discuss how panic, fear, and uncertainty led to the most egregious public policy in Australian history. 

In this episode Mrs B interviews Gigi Foster, Professor of Economics UNSW about the current state of the Australian economy and her predictions for the next 12 months

Gigi Foster is a Professor and Director of Education at The School of Economics at UNSW Business School. She holds qualifications in ethics, politics and economics, and has been speaking out against the ‘Covid Panic' from the very beginning of the pandemic. Professor Foster was one of the first to publish a cost-benefit analysis of lockdowns, and quickly came to the conclusion that governments around the world are causing net harm on the lives of their citizens, both from a quality of life perspective and a biological survival perspective. This discussion is our Christmas present to all who care to receive it – a discussion full of rationality and sense-making, ending with broader perspectives and predictions on what 2022 will look like.

In the Great Panic of early 2020, nearly every government in the world restricted the movement of its population, disrupted the education of its children, suspended normal individual liberties, and hijacked its healthcare system, to assert control of people's lives in the name of fighting Covid.

In the is episode we welcome back Gigi Foster, Economics Professor from UNSW. Gigi talks to us about opportunity costs and trade offs and the cost benefit analysis of locking down the economy.

What is the Reserve Bank of Australia doing to taper its economic support as it becomes more confident about Australia's recovery? Plus, fewer high school students, and fewer girls are choosing to study economics. A school is three times more likely to offer the subject if it is in a well-off area compared to a poorer area. What are the implications? Guests: Su-Ling Ong, Managing Director, Chief Economist, RBC Capital Markets Leith Thompson Second Master Economics, Sydney Grammar School

Over the next 40 years, Australia's population is expected to age and become smaller than expected. What are the implications and is it really a problem? Guests: Professor John Piggott, Director, Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (CEPAR), UNSW Professor Miranda Stewart, tax specialist, University of Melbourne Law School  

Leading economist Gigi Foster lets us in on the dirty little secret - our lives have been given a dollar value, and it's used by governments to make a whole range of decisions, from whether we're given that life saving medicine, to when to shut down an economy because of a pandemic. Covid19 has let us into this secret room, as we as a society grapple with how much economic pain we should suffer to protect the lives of the elderly and vulnerable. One of Gigi's most articulate critics, moral philosopher Matt Beard, joins Gigi as we unpack the pros and cons of putting a dollar value on the most precious thing of all - our lives. Gigi Foster is a Professor with the School of Economics at the University of New South Wales. Educated at Yale and the University of Maryland, in 2019 she was named Young Economist of the Year by the Economic Society of Australia.

How do we measure the costs and benefits of lockdowns and how can we move forward to fully open the economy? Plus, the "statistical" value of a human life – how this measure underpins government decision making. The Economists are back on RN! Guests: Bob Gregory, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University and former board member of the Reserve Bank of Australia Kip Viscusi, Professor of Law, Economics, and Management, Vanderbilt University, Nashville Tennessee

My guest on the program today is Gigi Foster, who is a Professor with the School of Economics at the University of New South Wales.From March 2020, Gigi has been arguing against the benefits of lockdown policy. 

How could countries worldwide have handled the economic policies during the pandemic more effectively? The implementation of different strategies could have prevented further financial hardship, research shows. Press play to learn: How lockdowns affected the global economy If vaccine passports are in our near future If restrictions correlate with positive results in the age of Covid-19 Professor of economics at The University of New South Wales, Gigi Foster, discusses the detriments of lockdowns and the economic mishandling of the pandemic. Targeted protection could have been implemented early in the pandemic to avoid later restrictions that were more detrimental to the economy. Lockdowns may not have been the best solution for protecting human welfare while keeping economic principles in mind. While lockdowns feel safe and effective, they may do more harm than good. Public debate on rationality during this time may move approach towards a global agreement. For more information, you can find Gigi Foster at gigi.foster@unsw.edu.au.

This week we are lucky enough to have Gigi re-visit the podcast to talk about the recovery of the Australian economy.....

This week we interview Gigi Foster, Professor of Economics at UNSW about the response to the pandemic and how we can use behavioural economics as well as traditional economics to drive policy choices,

Various lockdown policies by governments around the world have been effective in controlling the spread of COVID-19. But they also inflicted enormous economic damage by shutting down entire industries. The effectiveness and severity of the lockdown measures has been one of the critical policy questions of our lifetimes. UNSW Professor of Economics Gigi Foster joins Paul Colgan, James Whelan, and Ken Veksler to discuss problems with the policy advice to governments and how the process might be improved in future.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bip-show.
