The Albanese government wants to reduce the tax breaks for those with more than $3m in superannuation. And while sections of the media are highly critical of the changes, others say the proposal does little to address intergenerational inequality in the tax system. Columnist Greg Jericho speaks to Reged Ahmad about why the media debate over a smaller tax break for Australia's wealthiest 0.5% is divorced from reality You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Dr Greg Jericho, Guardian Australia Columnist, Chief Economist at the Australia Institute, blogger, and journalist. 

What Punter are you? Take the Quiz! Ever wondered why politicians bang on about being 'better economic managers' while your cost of living keeps going up? In this episode, economist Greg Jericho helps us cut through the BS about budget surplus myths, explains why 'the economy' is about people (not corporate profits), and reveals how tax breaks for the mega-wealthy are robbing everyday punters of the services we actually need - like dental care, better schools, and affordable housing.

Just yesterday in Australia, more than $100 billion was wiped from the Australian share market. It’s all because of the tariffs imposed last week by US President Donald Trump on all countries, including Australia. To understand in more detail why this has happened and what it means for the average Australian today, we chat with the chief economist at the Australia Institute, Greg Jericho.

The Australian dollar has hit a five-year low of 61.84 US cents this week - a level last seen during the early stages of the COVID pandemic. With Donald Trump’s move into the White House - and the potential for harsh tariffs on Australia’s major trading partners - only a few weeks away, the currency plunge has sparked fears amongst Australian commentators, some politicians, and financial experts.But what does a dropped Australian dollar actually mean for us - not just when we’re planning a trip overseas, but in day-to-day life? Why is it happening now? Is there real reason to panic? To find those answers, Sam is joined by the Australia Institute’s Greg Jericho.

In October, federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the peak of inflation has passed, and the worst of the recent economic turbulence was behind Australia. At the same time, consumer data from NAB echoed that sentiment, reporting more optimism amongst Australian consumers. But does that match the reality for young Australians? How will we know when the cost of living crisis is over? On today's episode, Sam is joined by Greg Jericho, the Australia Institute's Chief Economist.

Australian voters will be in the midst of an election debate on cost of living and the economy. It isn't always clear to people what politicians are talking about because of the language that is used. The Australia Institute's Greg Jericho offers his perspective on where the Australian economy is at, how think differently about the cost of living debate, and the need for people at the RBA to be able to take criticism. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Last week the prime minister delivered a pitch to young Australians: Labor will slash their student debt by 20% next financial year if the Albanese government is re-elected. The surprise announcement is part of a major federal government overhaul designed to boost access to education and address ‘intergenerational unfairness'. But while the move has been welcomed by many, it has also been widely criticised for not doing enough to help students as well as unfairly penalising all taxpayers. Chief economist at the Australia Institute and Guardian columnist Greg Jericho gives his take on why Labor's plan isn't perfect but why the feigned outrage over ‘fairness' is wrong You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is suing Coles and Woolworths over allegations they misled shoppers by offering ‘illusory' discounts on hundreds of products. It's a practice that helps them make huge profits in an already overheated economy. Guardian columnist Greg Jericho tells Matilda Boseley why he thinks corporations, not consumers, should be made to pay for the cost-of-living crisis. • You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

The last few days have seen significant volatility in global stock markets. Here in Australia, on Friday and Monday, the stock market had its worst two days since the onset of the pandemic. It all came after the U.S. posted higher-than-expected unemployment numbers, raising concerns that the world's biggest economy is slowing and a recession is on the horizon. In today's deep dive, we speak to the Chief Economist at the Australia Institute, Greg Jericho about the latest headlines.

Guardian Australia's political editor Karen Middleton talks with Joe Hockey, former federal minister and ambassador to Washington, and now global president and founder of US-based consulting firm Bondi Partners. Hockey talks about what a Kamala Harris victory in the US election would mean for Australia, and whether there are upsides if Donald Trump returns for a second term.

With pressure on the government (again) to raise the rate of JobSeeker, will they finally prioritise the welfare of those on the lowest incomes in the country? Greg Jericho, Guardian columnist and Chief Economist for The Australia Institute previews the upcoming Federal Budget with Amy, which is to be delivered on Tuesday 14th May. Greg tells us what budgets are really all about – choices. British best-selling author Johann Hari joins Amy Mullins to talk about his excellent new book, Magic Pill, which examines the benefits and risks of controversial new weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy. Johann has in fact tried this medication himself and is conflicted about whether they are the miracle solution for obesity that they appear to be. We get into all the nuances of the science and debate around these medications, as well as the real causes of obesity and why people who try to lose weight the old-fashioned way (through diet and exercise) – may initially lose weight but struggle to keep it off. Hint: it actually isn't your fault. This interview is essential listening for all people wanting to understand how our modern society has geared us towards obesity and disrupted our metabolic systems. Victoria Johnson, spokesperson for the Gippsland Forest Guardians, talks about a significant discovery of Slender Tree-ferns (Cyathea cunninghamii) in the Strzelecki ranges, south-east of Melbourne. They are critically endangered in Victoria and the total population is estimated at less than 1,000. Slender Tree-ferns are listed as Critically Endangered under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee (FFG) Act 1988 and have current species-specific prescriptions in the Code of Practice for Timber Production 2014 (as amended in 2022). However, they are currently under threat due to logging operations occurring very close to the endangered ferns at Turtons creek, in some cases only 5 metres away. Victoria tells us about this unique plant species and what we can do to ensure its protection.

Born in Chicago in 1938, author, artist, feminist, and commentator Sara Dowse speaks in-depth about her Jewish family history and how it is intertwined with the history of Zionism and specifically the dissenting voices within it who disagreed with the establishment of the state of Israel at the expense of Palestinians – those such as Asher Hirsch Ginsberg who wrote under the pen name Ahad Ha'am ("man of the people").

The Reserve Bank has raised interest rates for the 12th time in 13 months, with governor Philip Lowe warning that rates will keep rising if necessary, despite ‘significant financial pressure'. This plan has come under fire, with treasurer Jim Chalmers saying the bank's decision was ‘difficult to understand and difficult to cop', and Commonwealth Bank economists predicting that Australia could slide into a recession this year. Economics correspondent Peter Hannam explains why interest rates continue to rise and columnist Greg Jericho looks at whether the central bank is killing the economy

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's edition features the story of the first ten years of The Guardian Australia .Tim Burrowes talks to editor Lenore Taylor and managing director Dan Stinton about how The Guardian found its place within the Australian media establishment after arriving in May 2013.Using a loan from philanthropist Graeme Wood, the publication assembled a team of some of the country's best journalists, many of whom were refugees from Fairfax Media following the mass redundancies of 2012.Taylor says that the tenth anniversary has inspired a deluge of gratitude from readers in her inbox with many arguing that The Guardian has indeed fulfilled a “much needed” niche in Australia's media landscape.Stinton, who will shortly move to the Perth-based tech platform Health Engine after five years running the business side of the operation, explains the Guardian's funding model. The company's ‘diversified' revenue - which has almost tripled in the last three years - is generated through a combination of reader support (which has been a ‘rocketship' for the publication) and other philanthropic funding, digital advertising, and licensing revenue, via the News Media Bargaining Code.Taylor recalls former Fairfax Media boss Greg Hywood's dismissal of the launch, asserting that there would only ever be two Australian news brands that would matter - Fairfax and News Corp.The interview also covers some of the highlights of The Guardian's reporting, including its ‘Life on the Breadline' series which focused on Australians living in poverty, and the Snowden spying revelations. Taylor also points to the discovery of new writing talent including columnists like Van Badham and Greg Jericho.She also addresses the topic of transexual politics, which has divided the newsroom of The Guardian's head office in the UK.According to Ipsos, The Guardian is currently Australia's sixth biggest digital news brand.The podcast was recorded in The Guardian's Sydney studio and edited by Abe's Audio.The interview was recorded before yesterday's apology from The Guardian after staff in the UK office used the phrase “gone walkabout” to describe the launch.letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

Australians are doing it tough at the moment, with cost of living soaring, real wages falling at a record pace, and the RBA's nine back-to-back interest rate rises only making things harder, all in the name of reducing inflation.

Greg and Jeremy discuss the Libs' pivot from NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT to NOTHING WE CAN DO, conveniently both positions that enable their fossil fuel lobby mates to keep stuffing the atmosphere full of greenhouse gases until we all die. And Jeremy suggests how Labor could combine Australians' desire not to spend the rest of their lives in gas masks with the nationalism on which politicians trade - in short, for Australia to become a nation that fights hard on the world stage for other nations to cut global emissions enough that this is as bad as it gets.

The economy is showing growth figures on par with the global financial crisis and none of the government’s tax breaks seem to be making a difference.

So, what should they be doing to stimulate growth next year? Katharine Murphy is joined by Greg Jericho and the Age and the SMH’s senior economics correspondent, Shane Wright

The preliminary report released by the banking royal commission found banks have been putting ‘the pursuit of short-term profit at the expense of basic standards of honesty’. But are we hearing the same apologies and excuses as before? That’s the question political editor Katharine Murphy asks economics correspondent Gareth Hutchens and Grogonomics columnist Greg Jericho

With nearly a third of super accounts inactive and still being charged fees, are Australians losing money that could be going towards their retirement?

Katharine Murphy speaks to Greg Jericho, of Grogonomics, and Shane Wright, the economic editor at the West Australian, about the latest growth figures and the proposed changes to make super fairer.

Was this a good budget? Guardian Australia’s Katharine Murphy, Lenore Taylor and Greg Jericho join Shane Wright from the West Australian to examine the details.

Lenore Taylor, Greg Jericho and Katharine Murphy examine the contradictions in the budget: creating a $6bn bank levy but continuing to cut company tax; raising the Medicare levy but letting the budget repair levy expire. Will the changes to the Medicare levy and Help debt repayment squeeze people too hard? Or are the other spending promises enough to bring voters back to the Coalition?

Concerns about housing affordability have given way to warnings about a housing bubble, but Coalition ministers appear unable to tackle the problem. Katharine Murphy is joined by Greg Jericho from the Guardian and Shane Wright, economics editor at the West Australian, to discuss how Australian housing market got to this state, what could be done to fix it and why the Coalition is unwilling to take the right steps
