Back in 1993, Australia (coming off of a recession) had a federal election - the incumbent Labor Party led by Paul Keating were staving off a challenge from the resurgent Liberal Party led by Dr. John Hewson. Dr. John Hewson, former RBA economist and director of Macquarie Bank, effectively had one hand on the keys to Kirribilli - until a question about a birthday cake undid his good efforts. In this political retrospective, Damo, Feebie and Clancy look at what happened and give their thoughts on the good and the bad (and the ugly) of what happened. We also have a lot of laughs, and Damo learns about the female use of condoms... ———————————— Find us on Twitter at: https://www.twitter.com/letssavethegg Listen to us on Anchor.FM - https://anchor.fm/letssavethegg/ ———————————— Music by Ukulelvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtPm4hb04r0 ————————————

Mental Health education in children is critical to making long term change in society and today's guest is dedicating herself to this cause.Margo Ward is the founder and CEO of KidsXpress Life. Her vision and inspiration for this world-first program was bestowed on her by the children she worked with as Head of Play Therapy at the Sydney Children's Hospital. While working predominantly with chronically ill children within Oncology and ICU, Margo saw the opportunity to broaden the scope of creative approaches to therapy with children, and she began to develop a new model for looking at trauma and grief counselling.In 2005, Margo shared her vision for a unique expressive therapy program with potential investors from the private sector. Margo realised that by uniquely combining music, art, drama and play therapies in a group therapy context, the program would have incredible potential to transform young lives. Investors from across the private & corporate sectors believed in the potential of the program, and so KidsXpress was born. In a short time, Margo established a highly credentialed board (including renowned economist Dr John Hewson as Chair), a talented and passionate team of therapists and sponsors, referral pathways and a robust set of program effectiveness metrics to get the attention of government and other youth support services.In 2011 Margo was awarded a scholarship to attend the Executive Leadership Program at Stanford University, an experience that has not only underpinned the next stages of expansion of her social impact interests but also opened up opportunities to address societal issues on a broader scale.Margo's vision continues to shine through the work of KidsXpress; transforming the lives of hundreds of children, their families and communities through leading expressive therapies.You learn more about Kids Xpress: kidsxpress.org.au...Thanks for listening!

Remember those classic lines that have come out of election debates? Recall 2013 when Tony Abbott asked the audience, “Does this guy [Kevin Rudd] ever shut up?” Or Bill Shorten in 2019 describing Scott Morrison as a “classic space invader?” Or back in 1993 when Paul Keating told John Hewson his costing of the proposed GST was like “a magic pudding?” In our fourth episode of the Below the Line podcast, host Jon Faine asks if election debates still matter. Audience numbers have dropped significantly since 1993, when 71% of Australians surveyed said they tuned in. By 2016, viewership was down to 21%. This sharp decline in the proportion of Australians who watch an election debate is confirmed by Australian Election Study data. The first debate for the 2022 federal election campaign is scheduled for April 19 on Sky News, hosted in partnership with the Courier Mail. 100 undecided voters will pose questions to both major party leaders. Simon Jackman and Anika Gauja remind us that while not many people tune in, debates can be dangerous for leaders if they stumble or fail to recall policy details. These “fails” then trend on social media. For example, there might be some tricky questions on climate change given Brisbane, where the debate is being held, was recently hit by devasting floods. While audience numbers might be small, they capture some voting demographics which both major parties are targetting. Andrea Carson points out that Sky News is broadcast on the free-to-air WIN TV Network and Southern Cross Austereo across regional New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland. Television ratings data tells us that these audiences are older, and polling data tells us they are more likely to be supporting the Coalition than Labor. Our expert panel also discuss Anthony Albanese's polarising appearance at the BluesFest musical festival in Byron Bay, and the surfacing of controversial comments about transgender people made by the Liberal candidate for the Sydney-based seat of Warringah.

Former Liberal Opposition leader John Hewson and SBS Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson discuss climate politics and NSW

Tony Abbott was the Australian PM between 2013 and 2015, the leader of the Liberal Party between 2009 and 2015 and an MP for Warringah between 1994 and 2019. He currently serves as an advisor to the UK Board of Trade alongside Michael.During his time in office he repealed Australia's carbon tax and finalized trade deals with China, Japan and Korea. Tony Abbott was also Health Minister between 2003 and 2007.Prior to entering parliament, he was a journalist with The Australian, a senior adviser to opposition leader John Hewson, and director of Australians for Constitutional Monarchy. He has degrees in economics and law from Sydney University and in politics and philosophy from Oxford which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar.Further reading:Official bio:http://tonyabbott.com.au/biography/Board of Trade report: green tradehttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/board-of-trade-report-green-trade

Broad statement here, but lesbians don't like doodles. Seems no one told the Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination Commissioner. She refused to grant an exemption to allow the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance to exclude “biological men” from lesbian events. Yet again, women cop it - even if they're alphabet people.The Breakdown also addresses the latest lockdown lunacy, John Hewson becomes a victim of female quotas and Barnaby Joyce nails the climate question.

Understorey brings one report on five reports, all to do with the climate. The news is not good, but there is a glimmer of hope - if only Australia will join with it. There is the [Sustainable Development Report](https://www.sustainabledevelopment.report/reports/sustainable-development-report-2021/) for 2021, gives Australia 10 marks out of a hundred for its climate policies, plunging us into equal last place. There's the [Climate Change Performance Index](https://ccpi.org/), identifying Australia as a climate laggard, hooked on fossil fuels, rich, and wilfully ignorant about the climate action needs of the poorest nations to survive. Out only yesterday was Jubilee Australia Research Centre's ["Hot Money"](https://www.jubileeaustralia.org/resources/publications/hot-money-2021) report on Export Finance Australia's gift to fossil fuel companies - maybe $1.69 billion of finance credit, 2009-2020, when renewables only managed $20 million over that time - or one eightieth of the coal, oil and gas level of financing. Report 4 is the [leaked IPPC Report](https://www.sciencealert.com/someone-leaked-the-next-ipcc-report-here-s-how-experts-are-reacting), due out in 2022, warning that the worst is yet to come, a future world beset by species extinction, widespread disease, unliveable heat, ecosystem collapse, and inundated species. And so we finish with Report Number 5: in February 2021 the fifth United Nations Environment Assembly met, encouraging countries to be "[Making Peace with Nature](https://www.unep.org/resources/making-peace-nature)" to stave off species extinction, climate collapse and global pollution. So there are steps we can take. Understorey this week listens in to former Liberal opposition leader Dr John Hewson (speaking in Bowral in 2019 for a [Climate Action Now Wingecarribee public forum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guLj_gZIFR8)); Stephan Singer, from Climate Action Network International, shares the latest Climate Change Performance Index in December 2020; and UN Secretary-General António Guterres urges us to act, at the time of the 5th United Nations Environment Assembly, in February 2021. No one can say Australia hasn't been warned - or shown a way out. Image: A Glamorgan

On this Democracy Sausage, former Liberal Party leader John Hewson, health and policy expert Arnagretta Hunter, and physicist Kenneth Baldwin join us to discuss the need for political leadership and better policy to strengthen Australia’s efforts to tackle climate change.Despite the impacts of climate change becoming increasingly real for many Australians in the wake of the Black Summer, the country still lags behind many others on international commitments to reduce carbon emissions. While the shift to renewables is happening anyway, would it be happening faster and cheaper if the country had put in place better policies in recent years? What does the Labor Party’s shadow cabinet reshuffle mean for their stance on climate change? And what impact might the new Biden administration in the United States have on Australia’s willingness to make stronger climate commitments on the international stage?

New U.S. President Joe Biden has brought a new and energetic voice to the climate conversation and with the stroke of his pen is changing American and international values and standards. Former leader of the Opposition in Australia, John Hewson, has become one of our nation's busiest climate advocates and in today's Melbourne, Age wrote about the need for action. A second opinion piece in today's Age from Nicola Philp asks why the climate crisis is not on the front page, rather than stories about the Australian Open. While you are contemplating that trio of stories, listen to the music from the Melbourne-based group, "Music for a Warming World".

There are Kiwis on the loose in Australia and fingers are being pointed everywhere. Victoria's new roadmap continues to leave retail and hospitality out and the Western Australia border closure is under more pressure as the CHO admits to a Parliamentary Inquiry he thinks they should be open. In the US, Big Tech tries to suppress the New York Post's story about Hunter Biden. Heroes and Villains this week include Josh Frydenberg, Gideon Rozner for his article about Jacinda Ardern and all the reaction it received, the UN Human Rights Council is now officially a troll organisation and John Hewson continues destroying his "legacy".

We also talk to IPA Campus Coordinator Peumike Dissanayake about Generation Liberty's debate with Socialist Alternative on capitalism v socialism including some very spicy after match exchanges (51:13-1:02:37). At the end, Anthony Albanese explains a $1.1 billion policy to a four year old, it turns out debate moderator Steve Scully was NOT hacked and Gal Gadot admits her famous Imagine video "didn't transcend" - James begs to differ.

Jennifer interviews Mark Zirnsak from the Tax Justice Network Australia about the federal government's proposal to bring forward tax breaks for the wealthy in the time of the pandemic. Not only would these tax breaks go to the most well-off, according to the experts, they would not stimulate the economic recovery anyway. Moreover, these tax gifts to the high end of town would mean less funding for services and for adequate Centrelink payments.Shane Wright, Jennifer Duke (2020) The Age, 18 September 2020, p.8.Tax cuts for COVID ‘naive’, former Liberal leader John Hewson says in new budget campaign 21 September (together with the Australia Institute https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/2020/09/21/tax-cuts-covid-john-hewson/ Morrison's tax cuts are not temporary or targeted – they are ideological and inequitable Richard Denniss in the Guardian 16/09/2020 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/16/morrisons-tax-cuts-are-not-temporary-or-targeted-they-are-ideological-and-inequitable?utm_term=771ecdfe9ad32660354a1df0d29fca5e&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayAUS&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=GTAU_email   Thomas Piketty (2020) Capital and Ideology  Harvard University Press

Rev. Bill Crews speaks to former Liberal party leader John Hewson about the economic disruptions of coronavirus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When COVID-19 arrived in Australia, many homeless people were put in hotels for their own, and the community's, protection. Eventually they will be put back on the streets. Is the Federal government missing a golden opportunity to invest in social housing which would ease the huge waiting list and provide stimulus to the economy? The construction industry, the community housing sector, academics, the ALP, the Greens and even John Hewson are recommending it.

On this week’s fry up of politics and public affairs, our outstanding panel of John Hewson, Quentin Grafton and Marija Taflaga join us to talk about the COVID-19 aged care inquiry, tensions over state border closures, and whether or not a coronavirus vaccine should be mandatory.It was a “week of hope” in the words of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, after signing a letter of intent to access the promising Oxford University coronavirus vaccine and falling infection numbers in Victoria. So after weeks of restrictions in Victoria following its second wave outbreak, is this week another turning point in Australia’s coronavirus response? Should Aged Care Minister Richard Colbeck face sanctions for failing to recall how many aged care residents have died from the virus in a Senate Inquiry? And is making a COVID-19 vaccine compulsory essential to ensure community safety in the wake of the pandemic?

In this episode, we chat to Dr John Hewson and Dr Arnagretta Hunter about the catastrophic and existential risks facing humanity, and what we can do to ensure our future.With people around the world suffering at the hands of COVID-19, the virus has shone a spotlight on our vulnerability to a global disease outbreak.

In part one of this special two-part episode we discuss Australia’s economic future after the coronavirus pandemic with former Federal Opposition Leader Dr John Hewson.It’s often said in politics that you ‘should never waste a good crisis’. But does the coronavirus crisis signal that it’s time to make major structural changes in the Australian economy? Should the government take a stake in businesses like airlines to ensure they survive? And after the crisis, will the government be able to wind back measures that are likely to receive broad public support, such as free childcare and an increase to unemployment benefits? In part one of our special two part episode on hope and life after COVID-19, we speak to Dr John Hewson about Australia’s economy after the pandemic.Dr John Hewson AM is an Honorary Professorial Fellow at Crawford School of Public Policy.

A giant week of news calls for a bonus episode! The ABC does some real journalism airing the IPA's new video, but taking out a key sentence. Boris Johnson is in the ICU with Coronavirus yet the tide is turning as more people, including medical experts, call for the protection of civil liberties. The EU is struggling to deal with what Merkel is calling the EU's biggest ever challenge - who knew a giant, creaking bureaucracy would struggle to deal with a crisis?

Brendan O'Neill, editor of Spiked, joins the show to talk about the mood in the UK, the balance between public saftety and civil liberties, the class divides being exposed in Coronavirus and why he, an avowed republican, praised the Queen over the weekend (30:35-53:15). At the end of the show, we discuss Pete's newfound fame after last week's show promo went viral and John Hewson's creepy article in The Conversation.

In the new episode, we examine political vision and division after more than a decade of Australia’s climate wars.While the Australian government shifted its rhetoric on climate change in the wake of the bushfires, have leadership ructions in the National Party halted any movement on climate policy? Would a conscience vote on Zali Steggall’s climate bill give the prime minister an ‘out’ of his political bind? And does Australia need to be more comfortable with a ‘messy’ debate to encourage political and policy foresight?On the new episode of Democracy Sausage, hosts Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga are joined by former Federal Opposition Leader and Honorary Professorial Fellow Dr John Hewson AM and former ACT Health Minister Meegan Fitzharris for your weekly fry-up of politics and public affairs.Mark Kenny is a Senior Fellow in the ANU Australian Studies Institute.

Australian Farm Institute 2019 Roundtable Session: History and future of ecosystem services Facilitator: AFI Executive Director Richard Heath Guest speaker: Dr. John Hewson, Chair of Business Council for Sustainable Development Australia Presentation summary: Former Liberal leader John Hewson delivered a scathing rebuke of the Government's climate change policy at the Roundtable, saying "we don't have a sense of urgency to achieve these emission reduction targets". Dr Hewson argued that regenerative agriculture can offset future emissions and supported plans for a HECS-style scheme that would see farmers receive a baseline carbon reading to help remove barriers for those looking to explore carbon farming initiatives as the market developed.

Australia’s election result took many by surprise. The polls may have been predicting a win for the Labor Party, but instead it is the Coalition led by Scott Morrison that was returned to government. But with Australia dealing with some of the most serious issues it’s faced in decades, will the Coalition’s policy platform be able to provide the reform the country needs? Our stellar panel – Liz Allen, Paul Burke, John Hewson, and Warwick McKibbin – give us their thoughts on the policy commitments and the challenges ahead for the nation. Will the government have to completely rethink its climate policy? How important is framing when it comes to conversations around migration policy?

Those are just some of the questions tackled in episode two of Mark Kenny’s Democracy Sausage podcast. Mark and the panel - John Hewson, Katrine Beauregard, Jill Sheppard, and Paul Pickering - also discuss whether a surplus should be seen as a measure of economic success, whether voters have already made up their minds, and what the campaign has in common with a Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketch.

Four Corners was also there.https://www.energymatters.com.au/renewable-news/climate-energy-battles-abc-four-corners/The crowd in the local school voted overwhelmingly for the plan with one dissenter who said bring it on by 2025! The story of regional regeneration through renewable energy is thrilling. Andrew Blakers shows us where pumped hydro ponds could be built in the hills around the Bega Valley.He says Australia is fast becoming a Renewable Energy Superstar. We will have 50% installed  in 5 years and 100% by 2031. John Hewson is appalled at the delay tactics in Canberra and said it was a relief to be here on the cutting edge.

After yet another year of chaos in the Australian Parliament, a federal election looms. For an in-depth discussion of the context – and possible outcome – of the vote, Sally Warhaft will be joined by two veterans of Australian political circles: journalist Michelle Grattan and former Liberal leader John Hewson. Warhaft, Hewson and Grattan — Photo: Johnboy Davidson / José Eveline What are the major parties offering, in terms of health, education, housing and climate policy? Which policies can really swing voters? How will the minor and single-issue parties fare in the Senate? Will Tony Abbott hold on to Warringah? Can Bill Shorten be our new Prime Minister? And is anything as exotic as leadership stability possible in the 46th Parliament? In this episode, Sally Warhaft talks politics and policy beyond the polls with Grattan and Hewson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With six prime ministers in eight years, democracy in Australia is looking decidedly unwell. Add to this a political class whose interests seem divorced from voters and plummeting trust in government, and things are even worse. Are the polarised, opinion-driven media and the 24-hour news cycle to blame? With highly concentrated media ownership and vigorous partisan players, Australia now has home-grown problems with ‘fake news'. Will the media be the death of our democracy? Chaired by Darren Goodsir, Chief Communications Officer for UNSW, Sydney. This conversation was recorded live on stage at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas 2018.

Australian politics is in a maelstrom, fake news has taken root and increasingly, democracy is looking decidedly unwell. Does this have anything to do with our highly concentrated media ownership and vigorous partisan players? What are the costs of a polarised, opinion-driven media and the 24-hour news cycle? Dee Madigan, John Hewson and Rebecca Huntley discuss at the 2018 Festival of Dangerous Ideas on Cockatoo Island. The panel is chaired by Darren Goodsir.

If you want some insight into political leadership, who better to ask than a former politician? Dr John Hewson is currently a professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy at ANU, he’s a former leader of the Federal Liberal Party and one of Australia's most respected political & economic commentators. Alongside the overwhelming majority of scientists, Dr Hewson agrees that climate change is the most significant challenge facing society today.

In this episode, Ben Oquist talks to John Hewson -- former Liberal leader, Professor at the ANU Crawford School of Public Policy and former member for Wentworth -- about climate change and Liberal party politics and Dr Hewson did not hold back. This episode is an excerpt of our Politics in the Pub event in Canberra on 12 September, following John Hewson's launch of Climate of the Nation 2018, a benchmark survey of Australian attitudes towards climate change that has been running for over 10 years.

An audience of over 200 people joined former federal opposition leader Dr John Hewson, Executive Director of the Victorian Women's Trust Mary Crooks, and Chloe Aldenhoven, Co-convenor of the Lock The Gate Alliance - which Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews recently called "the greatest political coalition we have seen in public policy for a very long time." Hosted by James Tonson. The panel explores some of the ideas and spectacular success stories of communities coming together to regenerate our democracy, across generations, gender and geography. And yet how the potential still seems barely realised. So in the context of dramatically decaying trust in politics, and with multiple transitions to navigate, how do we turn this into a thriving democracy for the 21st century?

March 13 marked the 25th anniversary of the 1993 federal election contest between the incumbent Paul Keating and John Hewson. In the lead up to the recession ‘we had to have', John Hewson emerged as the leader of the opposition Liberal party. He set out early and launched his Fightback policy in late 1991 representing the Coalition's new future policy direction. Join our panelists for a discussion that delved into the past and asked: How consequential was the race? Did Keating's demolition of the Coalition's free-market manifesto herald the demise of the reform agenda in Australia? And, did the “unlosable election” spell the end of political transparency? ____________________ The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) promotes free choice and individual liberty, and defends cultural freedom and the open exchange of ideas.

Today we're featuring a conversation with one of the world's most prominent political elders - former Australian Federal Liberal Party leader, and now Professorial Fellow at the Australian National University, John Hewson. In recent years, John has become an increasingly admired figure across the political spectrum, as a powerful advocate for more leadership, transparency, responsible investment, and evidence-based policy. This is particularly in the context of the inter-related global challenges of climate change, a possible further financial crisis, and so-called ‘post-truth' politics. So it was a real pleasure to receive a call from John upon our arrival in Canberra, welcoming a conversation. It became an even greater pleasure as John's level of candour, depth, insight, humour and care became more apparent. Most Australians probably still recall John from his contesting of the 1993 federal election for the Prime Ministership. But he's a bit like the life-long musician who had a few years in a famous pop band. The rest of his life has featured an extensive array of studies, achievements and experience, across a range of sectors and senior positions globally. We talk about his frustrations and great concerns – the precariousness of our financial and ecological systems, the hollowness of money and economic growth for their own sake, and the difficultly current systems are having grappling with all this. And we talk about his proposals for change, his experiences of dealing with vested interests, the great potential of the youth vote in particular, but also of a broad movement based on a greater sense of national purpose. We also gain more of a sense of the deeply felt purpose driving John; a purpose that sees corporate responsibility as about culture rather than charity, acting beyond our own immediate interests for the good of the whole, and an openness to learn from each other. Anthony's co-host for this conversation is former senior corporate executive, Keith Badger.

In recent times, it seems the Australian Constitution has been in the headlines more often than not. Accordingly, the High Court has been in the spotlight, too. What are our expectations of the judiciary with regard to keeping the other branches of government in check?

Professor John Hewson, a former Liberal leader and chair in the Tax and Transfer Policy Institute at the Australian National University, describes the uncertain economic climate into which Treasurer Scott Morrison will deliver next week's budget. "I think it's an occupational hazard for treasurers that they're always optimistic - always try to put a better gloss than is the case," Hewson says. "I've been analysing and forecasting economies since the late '60s and I picked up most of the big turning points over that period, but I'd have to say that right now I think it's harder than it's ever been to say what might happen next." Hewson nominates the after-effects of the global financial crisis, geo-political tensions and environmental challenges as some of the factors driving his doubt. There is also the matter of Donald Trump. "He's quite unpredictable and his capacity to govern in the United States is really quite limited. Although he might have been a reasonably succesful property developer, it's not easy to run a government off that skill set in Washington and he's finding the reality of that." ___ _This podcast is co-published with the University of Canberra's [Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis](http://www.ausbudget.org/)_

The relationship between science and policy can be difficult at the best of times. Professor Sir John Beddington knows this better than most. In his time as the United Kingdom's Chief Scientific Advisor, he dealt with a number of emergencies, including the swine flu epidemic, the volcanic ash incident that closed Eastern Atlantic air space, and the Fukushima nuclear incident. In this week’s Policy Forum Pod, Professor Beddington discusses the state of science in public policy around the world and what scientists can do to get policymakers listening to the evidence. Professor Sir John Beddington was a guest at the recent Policy Forum, Crawford School of Public Policy, and The Economics and Science Group event ‘Bridging science, economics and policy silos‘.

Stranded Down Under: Are fossil fuels bankrupting our nation both financially and ecologically? Numerous industrialised nations are taking to reduce their emissions and shift the world's energy system from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Yet Australia is set to invest over AUD 100 billion in new coal mining developments over the next 15 years. Who is footing the bill for these projects in Australia? All Australians are, through compulsory superannuation schemes that invest in the expansion of the fossil fuel industry. Ben Caldecott, founder of Oxford University’s Stranded Assets Programme and author of the recent report Stranded Down Under? Environment related factors changing China’s demand for coal and what this means for Australian coal assets, sheds light on the ramifications of Australia’s fossil fuel addiction and how individuals can divest in funding this industry. Introduction by Dr John Hewson, chair of The Asset Owners Disclosure Project, an independent not-for-profit global organisation whose objective is to protect members' retirement savings from the risks posed by climate change by improving the level of disclosure and industry best practice. A Sydney Ideas event on 27 March 2014 http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2014/ben_caldecott.shtml

Lenore Taylor is joined by Labor's deputy leader, Tanya Plibersek, and former Liberal leader John Hewson to discuss whether major reform is likely anytime soon. This is the first episode of big picture politics, a podcast series exploring key aspects of state and federal government, to reveal both the big picture and the hidden detail behind it

To try and avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, 190 countries have committed to limiting global temperature increase to below 2°C. To achieve this, 60-80% of the world’s existing carbon or fossil fuel reserves need to stay in the ground. Nevertheless, billions of dollars of investments in coal, oil and gas have gone ahead, resting on the speculative bubble of climate change denial or delay. If these assets become stranded by climate action, their revaluation could trigger the next (larger) global financial crisis. So, what’s at risk? Our economy and your retirement savings. Australia’s economy depends on coal exports and around 55% of your superannuation is invested in high-carbon, high-risk assets. Our political system looks chronically incapable of dealing with climate change—but can we trust our financial institutions to do better?John Hewson is the former leader of the Liberal Party of Australia and Chair of the Asset Owners Disclosure Project. He has worked as an economist for the Australian Treasury, the Reserve Bank, the International Monetary Fund and also as an advisor to two successive Federal Treasurers and the Prime Minister.John Hewson appears with the support of The Climate Institute.

John Hewson, a former federal Liberal leader, talks to Michelle Grattan about Barry O'Farrell and the federal budget.

When we decided to take some time and look at political advertising in this weeks show the decision to invite former liberal leader Dr John Hewson seemed like a brilliant move. Unfortunately it seemed Dr Hewson had already been booked for the Gruen Transfer so instead we have Zac Martin from Pigsdontfly.com (and some other agency that I cant recall the name of right now) join us on the show. Zac has come a long way since his first appearance on the Gen Y Marketing podcast and I think you will agree his level of contempt for us is more in line with what it should be.
