Dr Richard Denniss, chief economist at The Australia Institute joins Amy for the final instalment of Uncommon Sense's federal election policy series – this time, on the economy. Richard debunks all the election econobabble on wages growth, productivity, inflation, and much more. He explains and evaluates the economic policies of the major and minor parties at this federal election, including on housing affordability, superannuation, taxation, economic management, and wages growth. Who's talking a load of codswallop and who is on the money?

Catherine Watson, member of the Save Western Port Woodlands group, dials in to discuss the last strip of significant woodland left in Bass Coast Shire – a rare coastal forest near Lang Lang and Grantville, which is under threat from a surge in sand mining. After a long fought battle, Victoria's Planning Minister Richard Wynne has just made the controversial decision to approve a significant expansion of the Grantville sand mine despite more than 70 local objections. Catherine explains why the Western Port Woodlands is so ecologically special and why it deserves our urgent protection. Visit their website at www.savewesternportwoodlands.org

The Global Gender Gap Report published by the World Economic Forum states that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but is linked to a country’s overall economic performance. Over the last decade Australia has made significant progress towards gender equality, particularly in education, health and female workforce participation. At universities, in organisations and in government, more women are taking on leadership roles and forging positive pathways for future generations. Despite this progress, inequality and discrimination prevail in many areas of society. Women continue to earn less than men, are less likely to advance their careers as far as men, and accumulate less retirement or superannuation savings. Hear our speakers and panellists discuss what #EachForEqual means for them; how we can empower young women and men to operate in a more equitable way; the systems and norms which have historically oppressed women; different industry sectors and their varying pace of change in this space and; the role of the education sector in facilitating gender equity.   Speakers: Imelda Whelehan - Dean, Graduate Research School at The University of Western Australia Panellists Jill Benn (MODERATOR) University Librarian at The University of Western Australia   Sandra Brewer BCom '94 WA Executive Director at Property Council of Australia   Preeti Castle MBA '18 Strategic Engagement Director at The Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute.  Non-Executive Director at Munda Biddi Trail Foundation   Dr Fiona McGaughey PhD '18 Director of Higher Degrees (Coursework), UWA Law School   Chris Sutherland BE '86 Non-Executive Director   Closing Remarks Pauline Chiwawa BCom '19 (she/her) 2020 Women’s Officer at UWA Student Guild
