Our summer podcast series brings you some of the best conversations from our webinars and live events in 2023.  On 15 September 2008 came the collapse of Lehmann Brothers, the largest bankruptcy in US history. This set off a chain reaction and had a massive impact on the Australia financial system and economy. Across the northern hemisphere the GFC became known as the Great Recession. But in Australia the economy was spared the large rises in unemployment that occurred in the USA and Europe as well as the collapse of major financial institutions. This was recorded on Friday 15th September 2023 and things may have changed since recording. australiainstitute.org.au // @theausinstitute Guests: Wayne Swan, National President of the ALP, former Labor Member for Lilley and former Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer of Australia // @SwannyQLD Greg Jericho, Chief Economist, the Australia Institute and the Centre for Future Work // @GrogsGamut Host: Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director, the Australia Institute // @ebony_bennett Producer: Jennifer Macey // @jennifermacey Edited by: Emily Perkins Theme Music: Pulse and Thrum; additional music by Blue Dot SessionsSupport Follow the Money: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Albanese government is to blame for Australia Post closing Glenroy Post Office and dozens of others, because it is ignoring the solution that would fund all postal services. Australia Post's decision to close Glenroy Post Office has sparked outrage in Melbourne's northern suburbs, with local political leaders posting angry objections on Facebook. Local state MLC Evan Mulholland posted: “I'm bitterly disappointed at the decision by Australia Post to close its Glenroy Post Office. So many people in our community rely on this post office for basic services like the paying of bills. When local banks have closed (there's been a few) they make the excuse that locals can go to their local post office. I'm calling on Australia Post to reverse their decision and for the Federal Labor Government to intervene to stop it closing.” The local federal Labor MP Peter Khalil posted: “The decision to close the Glenroy Post Office has come as a shock to me and the residents of Glenroy, and we will advocate to reverse this decision….” The state Labor Member for Broadmeadows Kathleen Matthews-Ward posted: “I'm so furious about Australia Post's decision to close the Glenroy Post Office. Communities need access to services, especially communities like ours with higher than average people with a disability and people over 80 as well as lower than average internet connection, income and car ownership. It is such a bad decision, I'll be doing everything I can to see it reversed.” Merri-bek Mayor Angelica Panopoulos posted in a video: “Hi, we've just had word that the Glenroy Post Office is set to close. This is shocking news for so many of us who know the Post Office to be a vital community asset.” There is a clear solution to the problem of maintaining essential postal services—establishing a national Post Office People's Bank. Postal services and banking services are both essential services. The banks are closing branches all over Australia, denying communities essential banking services, and (except for ANZ) they are also telling the customers they are abandoning to go to the Post Office to do their banking. But with Australia Post also closing Post Offices, these communities are being hit with a double whammy. The solution is a dedicated public postal bank, instead of just the private banks using Bank@Post as an agency. Postal banks are successful all over the world: By using existing Post Office networks they provide banking services cheaply and efficiently, while the revenue from banking helps to fund postal services—there's no need to close Post Offices. A national Post Office people's bank would also provide real competition to the Big Four banks—it's the solution Australia desperately needs. Consider those points within the context of the banking problems that have beset Australia recently: • CBA's severely disruptive national network outage; • Customers denied cash by ANZ and other banks; • The acute crisis of customers being fleeced by sophisticated online scams; • Banks “de-banking” competitors and customers they don't like; • Profit-hungry banks gouging customers by immediately raising interest rates on loans but not deposits; • Banks like NAB defying the Senate inquiry and continuing to close branches. A national Post Office People's Bank is the solution to all these problems. It would be a face-to-face refuge from digital dangers; it would guarantee cash access and payments; it wouldn't discriminate by de-banking any customers; and it would put service before profit. Glenroy and Australia need this solution now.

Join Reality Bytes Hosts: Desley Casey and Susan Pavlic as the discuss some of the results of the Australian Federal Election held on 21st May 2022. The ALP (Australian Labor Party) won the election, however, to date whether the new government is able to govern in their own right or govern as a minority government is yet to be determined (Thursday 26/5/2022). Desley and Susan discuss: Labor's win as the governing major party. Some of the federal electorial seats, i.e. Lyons in Tasmania and Gilmore in NSW are still too close to call. (Latest update is that the sitting Labor Member for Lyons, Brian Mitchell, is maintaining a small lead. In the seat of Gilmore, the Liberal Candidate has the slimest majority of just over 100 votes ahead of Fiona Phillips the 2019 - 2022 Labor MP. A correction we must make is that to date Peter Dutton (mentioned about 7 minutes into the discussion) has as yet to be elected as the leader for the Liberal Party. Our understanding is that at present he has put his hand up to lead the Liberal party however to date the election as leader as yet has not happened.
