In this week's episode of The Property Investor Podcast, Nick Bendel and Owen Davis discuss some positive news—mortgage stress levels in Australia have fallen for the third consecutive month!

The consumer watchdog has accused Coles and Woolworths of unlawfully misleading customers through “discount pricing claims”. The latest Roy Morgan trust data tells us that Coles and Woolies are some of Australian shoppers' least trusted brands. Yet so many of us can't help but gravitate towards their “special buys”. So, what keeps drawing us in? Consumers are drawn to reduced prices in a cost-of-living crisis, but psychological factors can also significantly influence our purchasing behaviours. In today's deep dive, we'll explore the science behind supermarket discounts, and how consumer behaviour influences retailers' tactics.  Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Zara SeidlerProducer: Orla MaherThanks to: Dr Gavin Northey from Griffith University, and Melbourne University Associate Professor, Anish Nagpal.

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. [00:00:51] Hello, and welcome back to The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host Lindsey, and I'm so excited to be speaking with my guest today, Roy Morgan. Roy has had a distinguished career at multiple medtech corporations. His experience includes team building, platform strategy, intellectual property filings, project management, budgeting, and scheduling. His project design and engineering skills are highly sought after in the medical device field, and Roy has a BS in Mechanical Engineering, a BA in Semiotics from Brown University, as well as a degree in project management from the University of California at Berkeley. Roy currently serves as the CEO of EagleMedical. [00:01:32] Roy, thank you so much for being here. [00:01:34] Roy Morgan: Well, it's wonderful to be here, and thanks for having me. [00:01:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Course. Well, I would love if you don't mind starting off by sharing a little bit about yourself and your background and what led you to MedTech. [00:01:45] Roy Morgan: Sure. So, my journey into medtech started in 1997 with a one question interview phone call. And it was an amazing moment in my career. I'll never forget it because it was only one question, and the question was, "Can you invent?" And I'll never forget it because I'd never heard that question asked before. You know, looking back now on a 30 plus year history in med device, I think I answered the question right. But some days I'm still not sure. [00:02:15] I started out after that working for the Stryker endoscopy division of the Stryker corporation, was the lead innovator commercializer of their, I guess it's currently called the Crossfire Electrosurgical System. So I drove, you know, those things into market. I worked on their sports med team for a while, went on from there to work for some small startups doing other RF innovations in you know, tissue excision spaces, treatment spaces, then did some interesting work for Abbott diabetes care that launched I think people can see that now on television, it's called Freestyle Libre, it was originally known as Navigator. I was part of that development team in the early 2000s that got that off the ground and into the market [00:03:07] Subsequent to that, went to do additional in vitro diagnostics and diabetes work for some startups in florida And then came back to the Bay Area, and found myself kind of wanting to do something a little bit different, and chose to work with a company called Eagle Medical to drive sterilization, packaging, and innovations in assembly technique and you know, speed to market from the last operations process standpoint. And that's where I find myself today. [00:03:42] Lindsey Dinneen: Very nice. Well, thank you for sharing a little bit about your background. Did you always think that you might be an inventor or was this something that kind of came about over time? [00:03:53] Roy Morgan: Well, you know, it's interesting. That question, if you can imagine yourself taking a phone call and thinking like the recruiter building this up as like, "Wow, this is the next greatest company since, you know, I don't know, Johnson and Johnson" or something like that. And you feel all this pressure. And then it's one question. And I can't tell you exactly how I answered it. It was something to the effect of, "Well, I can't be 100 percent certain, but I believe with every cell of my being that I can do it." And I guess it was good enough to get the next round of interviews. It worked out. [00:04:29] And today I'm blessed to have been part of just an amazing industry. The things that I have been able to participate in, that I've seen done that are going on today, and that we continually, through Eagle, help produce for the greater global community, just amaze me. It's remarkable what we are able to do. It's even more remarkable the things that we're targeting to do in the coming years. [00:04:56] And so all of that just kind of makes me think: I hope I can continue to invent and do things. I've been blessed and fortunate to have more than a few patents to my name at this point. So I think there's some truth to the answer I gave, or at least I, you know, I kidded myself into believing it and it worked out. [00:05:15] Lindsey Dinneen: Well, yeah, you believe it and then you do it, right? So hey, you're just... [00:05:19] Roy Morgan: There's lots of phrases for that. I won't use them here, but you know, it worked out is what I'll say. [00:05:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Fantastic. Well, if you wouldn't mind sharing just a little bit about your work today with Eagle and just share a little bit about your heart behind it. I know you're very missions and values driven, and I would love to hear more about that too. [00:05:39] Roy Morgan: Sure. I'll start with our why, because I think that's the biggest and most important thing to understand. Our mission here at Eagle is to provide just the absolute best quality of service to our customer base, and our customer base comes in layers. But I always try diligently to remind our staff at every level in the company that the most important layer of customer that we have is the end recipient of the products that we package here. [00:06:15] They, as I like to tell them, they don't get a say. They're under anesthesia. They're unconscious. They can't see the quality of our work. They don't know, perhaps, even that it's part of the surgical process that there'll be receiving on any given day, of course, there's an implicit faith in our system that these products will be delivered in sterile conditions, that they are able to provide all of the benefit that surgeons, clinicians and support staff say that they can, and because our patients don't get a say, we have to do it right every time, all the time, without exception. [00:06:56] And that's something that we really try to drive home here to, to everyone that works at Eagle. It's part of what we do, and the other thing that I remind people about is that everything that comes through our facility has UDIs and part numbers on them, but that's really a misnomer. Each and every product that comes through here really has a name on it. And that name could be a sister, a brother, father, mother, could be your own name. And so remembering that, I think, really brings home the importance of what we have to get right every day. [00:07:33] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. And have you had any particular moments where it just really stood out to you as confirmation that you were in the right place at the right time in the right industry? This awareness of, "Oh, wow, yes, this is why I do what I do here." [00:07:51] Roy Morgan: Wow, that's a great question. It's I don't know that there's like one moment. There are strings of moments that, that I can piece together in my mind. Most of it I think comes down to something that's deep seated in myself that has to do with desire for spreading good health to everyone around me, and I think it's... how do I say this? It's really something that's almost unconscious for me. There's a desire to see healing in people. [00:08:28] Without going into it really in my own background, there's healing that's had to go on for me and others in my family that are important things to support, to encourage, and to help along in the world. And those I think are, they're just very powerful beliefs for me. And so the moments in my career that kind of lend themselves to that, have been moments in operating theater with patients that are conscious. [00:08:58] Without getting too much into it, some very high profile athletes that have thanked me for the innovations that we brought into that operating theater that would enable them to continue their championship level sports endeavors. So it's about giving people a continued opportunity in life to do what they love to do to restore the life that they want and to have second chances when injury or misfortune might befall us, as it does all of us. [00:09:30] So I think those moments really stand out in my mind as, "wow moments" where, you know, you may not be expecting it, you, it catches you off guard and it gives you a little bit of introspection about your own why. Why am I doing this? What's my mission? So, yeah, those are the kinds of things that, that count. [00:09:51] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, and I love the way that you put it earlier where you were saying how-- and I think it's very human nature-- we get into the nitty gritty of the details and, and sometimes it does feel like, well, it's just, it's a component, it's a part number, it's whatever. And I love the way you put it about how actually those are, they get assigned to people. Those are humans who are affected by each and every one of the things you produce. And I love your emphasis in general, just listening to you speak, your care for human life and bettering it and helping the next generation. [00:10:26] So I just want to say thank you for your perspective, because it's easy to lose sight of that when you're having to do such detailed work, I think, and I love that you continue to remind the folks that work with you and yourself, I assume, too, about how important this is, and it's, it's not just another day for somebody who's affected directly by what you're doing. And I think that's pretty cool. [00:10:49] Roy Morgan: Yeah. Yes. Thank you. It's really my honor to serve in this role. [00:10:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, what are you excited about next as your company continues to grow, you continue to invent and innovate. What's exciting for you? [00:11:03] Roy Morgan: Well, so, you know in our industry, the past couple of years with the pandemic and other industry related challenges have made it a difficult time for a lot of med device manufacturing . Just to, to name a few, you've had supply chains that have gone upside down and sideways and every other way you can imagine. You've seen sterilization modalities come under intense environmental pressure, forcing closures throughout the industry of certain types of modalities, and putting pressure on the balance of the system to rise to the occasion and meet the excess demands, which of course, something like a pandemic raises to an entirely new level. I don't know if we understood it, prior to 2020, in the visceral manner that I think we do now that a strong healthcare supply chain, a strong healthcare technology sector is really a matter of national security. It's really a matter of being able to sustain our population and sustain our society at a level that is functional. [00:12:14] I think the events of the past two years have highlighted for everyone that importance. So, I speak about those things in terms of how it's raised awareness. The excitement that it creates within me for the coming years is that I see tremendous innovation in how we're going to make things more resilient, how we're going to make them more capable, more scalable. And here at Eagle, what we're doing specifically, is implementing new digital transformations of this last operations process workflow so that we are able to spool up to demand levels that might seem insane. But to do it without breaking the machine, if you will. [00:13:02] And I think a lot of a lot of companies out there, a lot of my compatriots that I speak to, CEOs across the industry, I hear the same echoes that, wow, there was just so much that had to be done that it was very difficult and nearly broke us to try and reach those levels of production. So I think building those systems now and putting those in place for us, really is exciting to look at the future to say, "Okay, we'll be much more ready next time around." [00:13:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, I mean, fingers crossed and all, there won't be that same. But I love that you are actively working towards it because I think you're absolutely right. It took so many people completely off guard and without having come up with a way to handle it ahead of time, it was very difficult for many people. So I love that you're going ahead and putting those systems in place to be prepared and, tackle it head on in the future. [00:14:00] Roy Morgan: One, you know, one of the things that we're doing just as part of evolutionary innovation in the packaging space, we've developed a new system that's called the "PATH System." It's our Packaging Accelerated Timeline Help. And what it is, it really represents the first step of digital transformation of packaging validation. Traditionally packaging validations have been thought of as the rigor that terminally sterilized device has to be subjected to, to get all the way through distribution to actual operating theater, and it is and has been so for many decades. But, we have continually been testing the same types of packaging for decades. [00:14:43] We, Eagle, just ourselves within our own production database, we've got millions of test data points that we can mine and use to our advantage. And in fact, we've done that. And what we've created is our own engineered proxy device that we validated inside of a packaging solution. So, PATH is really, I call it a time machine because what you're buying is not a pre validated sealed package that contains nothing but air. You're getting a full digital data package of a validated proxy device. [00:15:21] It can be adopted as a worst case for any product family that's out there. The short story is, you're buying time, which helps a lot of companies out there that are trying to bring life altering technologies to market. They can save that time and that money, of course, because they both go hand in hand, getting to market sooner and being able to deliver that life altering technology to potential patients so they can benefit from it. [00:15:47] We saw this as a natural innovation in the space of time compression, of the utilization of massive amounts of data in the historical canon that we have, and that other companies also have. So really, it just kind of made sense for us to move forward with it. It's now available. And we're seeing lots of interest and we expect to see a few companies take advantage of it in 2024 to get to market much more rapidly. [00:16:12] Lindsey Dinneen: So exciting. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Thank you for sharing about that. I'm excited to look into it a little bit more too, but it's great to see all the innovation coming out of this space and keeps the hope very much alive that there continues to be passion and innovation moving forward. So, you know, throughout your career, you've held multiple leadership roles, of course, and I'm wondering how you view leadership. What is your own leadership style or philosophy and what's your advice for someone who might be looking to get into a more of a leadership role in the medtech industry for themselves? [00:16:50] Roy Morgan: Sure. I'd say my leadership style is, I lead with inspiration and I follow with intellect. So it's pretty straightforward, but not easy to do. The inspiration is, I think, been popularized lately by Simon Sinek, who talks about start with "why." Well, that's what it is. Inspiration is the why. The intellect, that's what I call the mechanics of how to get it done. And that's really how I've gone throughout my career in tackling the various leadership roles that I have had the privilege of being a part of. [00:17:30] I guess what I would say is to anyone looking and thinking about how to be an effective leader, it's a, it's as much an exercise in vulnerability as it is an exercise in your commitment to your own mission. You've got to know what that is. If you're going to be a leader, you want to be a leader in some particular endeavor, it's going to require a personal commitment to believe in that, to move toward it, and to live up to it. You're going to lead by example, which is generally the best way. But you're going to put your own success in the hands of others. [00:18:16] I can't say that as a leader, the success is all mine, it's not. I've worked with some of the most amazing teams, the most talented engineers, the most amazing people who help make things happen in a way that leads to that success. And so that's the exercise in vulnerability. I often tell people being a leader means that you're willing to underwrite failure after failure without loss of enthusiasm. [00:18:43] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. [00:18:45] Roy Morgan: And if you're, you know, if you're able to do that you'll get there. So. [00:18:49] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Thank you so much for that advice. I really appreciate your perspective too. Yeah. And so how do you see that play out especially nowadays where, you're in this obviously top leadership role, and one of the things that you are so passionate about is this sense of mission and core values and why we're doing what we're doing. And so I'm wondering, what are some ways that you have found to be effective in shaping culture to reflect the core values and help ensure that alignment, because I know sometimes, it's lovely to write those statements and we believe in them and we want them to be true, but it can be hard in the day to day operations when things get tough and difficult decisions have to be made to really adhere to them. So I'm wondering, how do you go about that particular component of leadership? [00:19:43] Roy Morgan: You've caught me at an opportune juncture in my career. Let me give you the setup and then I'll tell you what's going on. For the past 20 plus, 30, almost 30 years now, I guess, yeah, 30 years, I have used a performance management system, a goal system, which most people are familiar with, that I'll work with individual team members, my direct reports and their sub teams, et cetera, to establish a set of goals. That's worked very well. It's been successful and has provided a great amount of accomplishment over that time period. [00:20:17] But recently I felt like I was getting stuck in a rut, that the goal system as effective as it is has become-- I'm not sure what the best way to put it-- other leaders out there who go through this sort of self check in or appraisal, if you will, will understand what I'm getting at. You're just wondering if, "Gosh, I haven't innovated myself in a long time." And I would say that this is the other challenging thing about being a leader: if you let yourself get stuck in a rut, you develop complacency. Just like teams, just like company, it all happens, but it can happen to you. And I think in 2023, I took a look in the mirror and I said, "You know what? I'm feeling a little complacent. I'm feeling a little bit like this goal system is just my go to thing. I've done it for 30 years." [00:21:09] And so this year, I am trying something very different. We're trying the Four Disciplines of Execution, the 4DX approach, to how we're going to run our team goals. So, people out there who are familiar with it will know what it is. I'm not going to go, it's not going to go into the details of it here. But Lindsey, what I'll tell you is, for me, it's terrifying at the outset because it feels like I'm taking my hand off the wheel. I'm entrusting my teams to develop their goal set, to set their timing, to set their commitments. [00:21:50] Sure, I took part in setting the what they call the "WIG," the wildly important goal for the year, right? But I didn't set it by myself. I had to call the team in and say, "Look, guys, this is where we are. This is the struggles we're going through. This is what we want to achieve going forward. Is this the right goal for us to focus on?" I created a proto goal, but it was modified and I was okay with that. So, it's basically a starting line, a finish line and a deadline, right? [00:22:21] And so we did that. They changed it. It's now created and I'm uncomfortable. I'm in that, I'm in that gray space of uncomfortableness where I'm trusting that the system, which has many successful reports is going to work for us in the same way. It's knocking me out of my comfort zone. And I did that to myself on purpose. I'm doing this because, for me, I know that's a growth zone. I'm going to have to stretch. I'm going to have to grow. I'm going to have to think differently moving forward. It's terrifying. [00:23:00] And I would say to other leaders out there, this is what you have to do. This is what you have to do to achieve growth, having mentors, having other inputs, those are valuable, and they work for me too. But really this is a question of courage. It's a question of courage. You have to step up to the plate. I'm taking a swing. I'm hoping I hit the ball and if I do, I hope it goes over the fence. [00:23:28] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. I I really appreciate first of all, you being willing to talk about that because it is uncomfortable when you're going through a growth season maybe whether it's your choice or not, but even more so, when it's your choice and you're going, "I'm doing this because it's like you know taking your daily vitamins or whatever, maybe something you don't love, but you know it's for your benefit in the long run," and, but I understand that curve of, "Oh boy, this is, there's a lot of change and we're gonna, we're gonna see how it goes." But I commend you for that. I really do. And I'm excited. I hope we get to check back in a year and all things, "Say, hey, how's it going?" [00:24:08] Roy Morgan: Great. Yes. I hope to have great reports for you. [00:24:11] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Well, that was great. I really appreciate that. Pivoting just a little bit for fun. Imagine someone were to offer you a million dollars to teach your masterclass on anything you want. What would you choose to teach and why? And also, it doesn't have to be in your industry. It can be, doesn't have to be. [00:24:31] Roy Morgan: Sure. I think for me it would be it would be about creativity. It would be about, it would be about how to organize your life to have creative moments at as many turns as you possibly can, because creativity in itself, people ascribe for whatever reason, I guess in Western culture, we talk about it as a, an element of productivity or an element that's woven into capitalism, if you will, in a way that I don't think it's necessarily-- no, in fact, I know this-- it's absolutely not meant to be that. [00:25:11] Creativity is a source of fun by and large at its core, at its absolute core. It's like being... How do I say this? Well, this happened to me the other day. I was out on my, my, on my bicycle and I came over this hilltop after a long, hard climb and I began this descent and it was it was so overpoweringly filled with joy, that for a moment, you forget what you're doing. You have to get back on task quick 'cause it's a mountain road and you don't wanna make mistakes. But in that moment, it's, it's just about the joy and the fun. [00:25:45] I think I would teach about that because there are so many, I guess, so many challenging moments in human life for so many people, that to have a structure to help themselves to bring themselves joy, well, that would be really rewarding. Yeah, so I think that would be what I would talk about: how those elements in, in my own life got me through some difficult periods and, saw me through to the other side. [00:26:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. [00:26:28] Roy Morgan: That would be it. [00:26:30] Lindsey Dinneen: I would totally take that masterclass. I'm all about creativity and joy, so, yeah. That sounds like a fabulous class to teach. How do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:26:41] Roy Morgan: Ooh, wow. That's, that's a question that combines both austerity and optimism in the same note. How would I like to be remembered? I guess if I had to put it in one sentence, as a song.

[00:27:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Now, would it be instrumental or would it be a lyric-ed song? [00:27:15] Roy Morgan: It would probably have few lyrics and it would be mostly music. [00:27:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. I'm digging it. That's by far the most creative answer I've ever gotten for this question. So I I'm loving it. [00:27:29] Roy Morgan: Well, it's, there you go, creativity, right? [00:27:32] Lindsey Dinneen: There you go. [00:27:33] Roy Morgan: That's what it's all about.

One thing, there's so many things I'm lucky like that, that do that for me. I, well, the one thing that pops into my head right now is the sunrise. And I guess that, that kind of ties it in for me. I have this saying that I tell people, in fact, I was just doing a whole bunch of it here on New Year's Day. I say this all the time to myself and to others, "Well, here is another 365 chances to be great." [00:28:15] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:28:16] Roy Morgan: So with each sunrise, a new chance to be great. [00:28:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, and that's definitely a reason to smile. There's new hope every day. I love it. [00:28:28] Roy Morgan: May sound a little corny, but it works for me. [00:28:29] Lindsey Dinneen: I'm all about the corny when it works. Sometimes even just the corny for corny's sake. Let's be real. Yeah, well this has been an amazing conversation. I really appreciate you. I love the work that you're doing, but I especially resonate with and so value the emphasis that you put on remembering that what you're doing and the work that you're producing matters so much and it matters to humans and it's not just another part coming out.

What was once an American tradition has now come to signal the start of the busy festive season in Australia: the Black Friday sales, which are now underway and will last right through to Monday night. According to research by Roy Morgan, Aussies are tipped to spend a whopping $6.36 billion dollars over the next four days, with more than half of us on the hunt for cheaper Christmas gifts. While shops won't have to try that hard to get us in the doors this weekend and in the lead-up to Christmas, there is a sneaky trick they're using to get us to spend more. On today's extra episode of The Briefing, we're digging deeper into the world of Christmas songs and how they subconsciously get us to drop more cash during the festive season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the US central bank still sees American inflation 'elevated' above where it needs to be.At its latest review, the US Fed has delivered the result markets expected, and one well signaled by the recent Fed speakers - a hawkish hold. They kept the federal funds rate at a 22-year high of 5.5% for the second consecutive time. Inflation is easing back and they seem aware of avoiding an overshoot in monetary tightening. But with the American economy defying repeated expectations of a slowdown, market expectations that the Fed is 'done' raising rates may be premature, and the Fed is clearly keeping its options open on that.Staying in the US, the level of mortgage applications fell -2.1% last week from the prior week. This in itself is not surprising, because it extends a long run of weakness. But it does take their current levels down to those last seen in 1995, a 28 year low. Mortgage interest rates slipped slightly in the latest week, down to 7.86% plus points for the benchmark 30 year mortgage, still close to a 23 year high.With the American working age population growing at least +70,000 per month, it is 'positive' that payrolls rose +113,000 in October from September in the pre-cursor ADP Employment Report on private sector payrolls, and well above the +89,000 gain in September. But the rise was much less than the expected +150,000. This Saturday (NZT), non-farm payrolls are expected to grow +150,000 when they are reported for October. The ADP report noted that annual pay rose +5.7%, so there is still significant strength in US labour markets - a key factor why the UAW won its dispute with carmakers.In a 'positive' surprise, job openings in September rose by 56,000 from August to 9.55 mln, the highest level in four months and exceeding the market consensus of 9.25 mln. But they are down sharply from the 10.9 mln in September a year ago. Hires were lower too on a year-on-year basis, but 'separations' fell.In the nation's factories, the internationally-benchmarked Markit PMI was revised up slightly to neither expanding nor contracting in October, a small improvement from their 'flash' report. But the widely-watched local ISM factory PMI told a different story, contracting slightly, and slightly faster in October than September. Weak new order levels were a feature of the ISM report, contrasting with rising new order levels in the Markit survey. Take your pick.In Japan, Toyota has signaled record high profits, justifying its market strategies and position. It is an interesting contrast to the recent Tesla result which is suffering from the price-slashing carnage in the EV market, especially in China.Mirroring the official version, the private Caixin PMI for China's factory sector slipped lower into contraction in October. It just reinforces earlier data that they are in a funk, one that will be hard to escape from - at least in the way they were running pre-pandemic. This Caixin report drop wasn't expected.And for the first time on record, bank lending for commercial property actually fell in September according to central bank monitoring (item 6). They claim it has stabilised. Debt growth to companies was high overall, up +10.9% from a year ago, but it seems to have 'culminated' in the commercial real estate sector.In India, their jobless rate jumped to 10.1% in October from 7.1% in September, the highest level since May 2021. The issue is especially sharp in rural India where the weakest monsoon rains in five years is weighing on farm production, especially for rice.In Australia, building consents dropped -21% in September from a year ago. They fell -4.6% from August. These were sharper retreats than expected because a rise was expected from August.And staying in Australia, mortgage stress seems to be rising. Surveys by Roy Morgan show that as at the end of September, 1,573,000 or more than 30% of mortgage holders were 'at risk' of mortgage stress, up an eye-watering +760,000 from a year ago when only 15.7% were under stress threat.The IMF is about to release an update of its review of Australia. It will be critical of policy approaches especially around 'wasteful' infrastructure spending which they say will be inflationary and require the RBA to raise official rates further. The visiting IMF economists concluded the economy was running above capacity, with low unemployment, “sticky” inflation and rising house prices.In international shipping, we should note that the drought affecting the Panama Canal is crimping international trade and the effects are likely to worsen with El Nino.The UST 10yr yield is down -5 bps from this time yesterday, now at 4.81%. The price of gold will start today at US$1976/oz and down another -US$15/oz from this time yesterday.Oil prices have held at their recent lower level, still at just on US$81.50/bbl in the US. The international Brent price has risen +50 USc to be now just under US$86/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today at 58.3 USc and back up +¼c from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are softish at 91.6 AUc. Against the euro we are also +¼c firmer 55.3 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today fractionally higher at just on at 68.4.The bitcoin price starts today at US$34,464 and another tiny -US$31 or -0.1% lower from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just under +/- 1.6%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

ACT says it isn't taking anything for granted, despite a staggering leap in a new political poll. The Roy Morgan survey puts it up 4 points to 18 percent - their highest result since December 2021. National is down 2.5 points to 31 percent, but can govern with ACT - while Labour has slumped to a historic low of 24 percent. ACT leader David Seymour says Roy Morgan was the most accurate in the last election, but one of the least before that. "But what we do know is that people do actually want some real change. They don't want to swap red for blue, Chris for Chris- and basically say business as usual, but show up in a blue tie." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour and Chris Hipkins took a significant tumble in a recent political poll. The 1News Verian poll puts the incumbent party down 4 points to 29 percent, while National gained 2 points to 37 percent. National could now form a winning coalition with ACT's 13 percent. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this is part of a wider trend, as Labour has descended in the last several political polls. "Polling at 29 percent- it's a follow on from a number of political polls. Roy Morgan put them on 26 percent, the Guardian Essential poll had them on 29, the Curia poll had them on 27 percent."

 I don't think it's going to surprise you to hear the huge numbers of Kiwi workers thinking about moving to Australia- it's a third of us.  Researchers from Massey and Otago Universities asked workers if they would consider moving to Australia. 10 percent said yes, and 26 percent said maybe. Now, thinking about it and doing it are two different things. But I've never had this many  conversations personally with people wanting to leave. A woman in my family said she's considering leaving when she retires; she's in her late 60s. That's a big call for someone in their 60s. I met a couple while I was on holiday in Fiji last month, he was an investment banker living in Herne Bay in Auckland, so good life here- he's thinking of leaving, I think to Australia. Another couple I met on holiday who have a baby are leaving to go to Australia once he finishes his medical studies. One of my producers just left on Friday, going to Canada. Another staff member here quit today, going to Canada.  And my sister just told me she and her husband and baby are off to Australia, they've signed all the documents. It's one thing if the young, single ones are leaving.  We expect that, it's a rite of passage.  It's quite another thing to hear this many married couples with kids or even near retirees who own homes and have successful careers uprooting their families and their established lives to go somewhere else  And often, not always, but often they will give you the same reason for leaving:   They don't like what's happening to the country, and they can't bear the thought of another three years of New Zealand going backwards under Labour. Today's Roy Morgan poll tells you the same story. 60 percent of respondents say the country's going in the wrong direction. Only 29 percent say the right direction. That's a record low for Roy Morgan.  This election's important. We need a change of Government to stop the tide of people packing up and leaving. But we also need the next Government to truly change the country's fortunes. National, if they get in, cannot tinker. They cannot fool themselves that a bit of change is enough and they can otherwise hold the status quo. If they do that, voters will see through it and the number of people leaving will pick up again.

ACT is on the rise, taking voters from Luxon's National and while we don't like to project, as this poll just tells us what is happening today, the razor think margins that we are seeing in many polls are pointing to te Pati Maori having a significant role to play post election day...and remember Luxon has ruled them as out as a coalition partner.

If polling out today is anything to go by, the Maori Party are going to be a force at this election. The Roy Morgan poll has the Party at 7 percent. Which is huge, it's the highest level of support the Party has ever registered. But that's not the thing that's convinced me they'll do well. What's convinced me is the movement of the voters in the poll. You can see clearly see voters moving from the Greens to the Maori Party. Greens down 2.5 percent, Maori Party up 2.5 percent. This is the very thing we've been warning about on the show for the last few weeks. The Maori Party is basically what the Green Party used to be. Radical, environmental, campaigners against poverty. They're doing the Greens, just better than the Greens. They're the ones standing outside the Oranga Tamariki facility at the weekend painting the boys demanding KFC on the roof as victims, planning to introduce a ghost house tax of 2 percent, introducing a failed bill to ban seabed mining and slamming the Government for failing to deal to climate change. The Greens can't do this stuff anymore. First, because they're part of the go-slow Government. And also because they're deliberately trying to tone it down so they don't freak out swing voters who know Labour comes with the Greens attached. But what it means is they're a watered-down version of themselves. Their wealth tax released last month was still kooky to me and you, but it was a lot less kooky than the plan they released last election to tax any wealth over $1 million- which is just a stock standard Auckland house. Marama Davidson's done bugger all to fix the housing crisis as the Associate Minister, James Shaw has failed to tax the farmers as Climate Change Minister and nothing is a bottom line ahead of this election. So far, there are literally no points of principal that are important enough for the Greens to give up the chance of being in Government. So that explains 2.5 percent of voters moving from them to their copy cats who are doing a better job of being the Greens. Now I don't think the Maori Party will be kingmakers at the election, but I reckon there's a good chance they will at least double their two MPs.

The Maori Party have surged ahead in the latest Roy Morgan political poll. The party have reached 7 percent, a historically high level of support 13 weeks out from the October election.

Mattresses selling for circa $3,000 are not typically a signal for how consumer spending is bending historical patterns but Tony Pearson, CEO at mattress maker AH Beard, is seeing two distinct consumer groups going in opposite directions. Sales of his premium lines in the $2-3,000 tier are holding strong just as his cheaper lines - from $600 - fell off a cliff in April. Meanwhile, mattress sales to hotels are soaring as even the cash-strapped masses keep spending on holidays and experiences – first hand evidence of the consumer spending divide mapped by Commbank-Quantium analysis of 7 million bank accounts playing out. But Pearson saw it all coming, because that's exactly what Roy Morgan's segmental database of NEOs, or ‘new economic order' consumers, said would happen. Ross Honeywill helped pioneer the typology – the quarter of the population that earns more, and critically spends more. He says the NEOs are currently keeping Australia out of recession and with latest rate rises yet to hit home, Honeywill says brands must have a premiumisation strategy that targets NEOs, or risk pain. CommbankIQ innovation and analytics chief Wade Tubman agrees: Marketers without “stratified” or multi-layered brand strategies “might be starting to feel the walls are closing in.” Following clothing and household goods, Tubman says insurance extras and telco are next as pinched consumers wring out every last dollar to spend on experiences, which he suggests are becoming “the new essentials”. The good thing for marketers is that comms to NEOs deliver double duty, per Honeywill, tapping the aspirational but squeezed masses as well as those with money still to burn. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we discuss the 4 most common problems with real estate agents and how to fix them. According to polling data from Roy Morgan, only 5% of Australians consider real estate agents to have "very high" or "high" ethics and honesty. This makes real estate agents one of the least trusted professions. While there isn't similar data available in New Zealand, it's probably fair to assume that the numbers would be similar in New Zealand.

Social market researchers think the deepening cost of living crisis will play out very differently to Covid. But there are parallels with previous bust cycles. The “lipstick effect” comes into play, and certain categories – homeware, the everyday luxury of branded goods – will probably hold up. But home renovations could end up consisting of nicer taps than a whole bathroom suite. While the young, pensioners and the squeezed middle are talking about cutting back, a quarter of the population are comfortable, can play the system and will keep spending – and brands and retailers shouldn't think about discounting to that cohort. For the broader population, brands and retailers need to communicate price hikes honestly and effectively – or lose community trust earned during Covid, fast. SCA's Jasmine Beech, Roy Morgan's Michele Levine and qualitative consumer researcher Neer Korn unpack what's coming own the track – as far as anyone can tell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode we have a crack at breaking down the world of opinion polls, and how they influence politics. It’s a recurring topic in our media cycle, and one that the average punter is supposed to just pretend they understand. Two-party preferred, approval rating, Roy Morgan, the list goes on. So we speak to an expert, Rebecca Huntley, to give us the inside line on how they come up with these polls, and why the media and politicians are so obsessed with them. Do they just call 1500 boomers on landlines? How trustworthy are they? And most importantly are they accurate enough to predict the 2022 federal election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Sydney Morning Herald this week retained its spot as Australia's most read news brand in new total news figures from Roy Morgan. The team did some research into how the metrics are tallied, so accuracy and whether media buyers see Roy Morgan's figures as being a trustworthy guideline for investment. (3:16) Another of the biggest stories of the week centred around a botched interview of singing superstar Adele by Seven's Matt Doran. It provided another PR challenge for Seven and also provided an insight into how celebrity interviews are negotiated.

“A small but active group”.  This the new catchphrase we can expect to hear more often from the Government as it faces the reality of popularity slipping. When the chips are down and things don't look good, it's important to minimise, diffuse, and distract. That's why in Northland when the PM was confronted by a heckler, she quickly told the crowd it was “just one person”, in fact there were four of them.  Then in Whanganui, when numbers of hecklers and protesters escalated to about 250, we were told it was “a small but active group”. Like we couldn't see the throng of people there for ourselves. A second protest saw the PM cancel another press conference, nothing to see here. This is clearly a disconcerting time for our beloved PM because she's had a golden run, is used to fawning photo ops and easy stand ups, and turning out to adoring crowds on university campuses. Not so much now. The wheels are coming off and it's not pretty. It doesn't make for good photos; it doesn't warm the cockles of the heart.  The PM looks stressed. Cancelling stuff and diverting media away from it is not handling it well. I actually feel sorry for her. The higher the pedestal, the greater the fall, and that this will be terrifying new territory for her. Panicking, shutting it down, looking angry and then belittling those involved, smacks of things spiralling out of control. We are told these people just a vocal minority of trouble makers. Are they though? Could they actually be representative of a good chunk of the population absolutely fed up with where things are tracking? Add to that the current polling – the Roy Morgan poll this week had Labour down 6 to 39 percent support, the lowest since they came to power. Just 6 percent now separates the left from the right.  The huge highs and outright majority they enjoyed and the lofty arrogance they comfortably slipped into, is eroding. Ministers are looking increasingly possum in headlights at press conferences when reporters dare question their modus operandi. They're increasingly coming up short on answers, they're looking more spooked on the public walkabouts. You can only dismiss negative publicity and protestors as a ‘small but active group' for so long. Most of us can see this for what it is. So, what becomes of our glorious leader as the tables start to turn? I wouldn't be at all surprised if she hangs up her hat next year. The old guard of politics for whom it was once a vocation and a lengthy commitment is not as prevalent among this younger breed of politicians.  Their tolerance threshold seems lower. My pick is she won't be bothered with seeing things through to the next election with declining support. The international scene beckons, family life beckons, celebrity stardom and adoration outside of politics beckons.  Time will tell, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if she exits stage left.   

Michele Levine knows a thing or two about human behaviour and consumer trends. As CEO of Roy Morgan Research, Michele's bread and butter is asking questions of Australians to understand their values, what drives them, and what they want in life. In this episode of Talking Tourism, TICT's Emma Azon-Jacometti asks Michele what Roy Morgan's research is saying about peoples' intention to engage with the tourism industry. We're encouraged to hear that, as borders reopen, an appetite for travel - and travel to Tassie, in particular - is alive and well! Michele provides her hot tips on how to attract the lion's share of pent-up demand, including creating exceptional experiences that aren't afraid to price up. In Michele's words, visitors should leave Tasmania "full of experiences and memories, but with an empty wallet and a maxed-out credit card"! Listen in for this and other valuable insights from an expert who knows better than most what will drive tourists to our great state.

Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson is unconcerned by a poll showing the Government's popularity plunging.The most recent Roy Morgan poll has seen the Labour Party drop 6.5 points since late May.But Robertson denies it's a reflection on the Government's latest policies and ideas - like potential hate speech reforms.Robertson told Heather du Plessis-Allan Labour isn't here to mind the shop, and intends to put in place the manifesto it campaigned on."I tend to think that people see these things in the whole. I've just done a big, long tour around New Zealand post-Budget, and I see an economy that is going much, much better than people expected."LISTEN ABOVE 

A former ACT leader says it's possible that National could no longer be the main opposition party sometime in the future. Richard Prebble, who was one of the founding MPs of the ACT Party and leader from 1996-2004, this week cast doubt on National's leader Judith Collins to stay in the position - calling her a dead leader walking over a failed attempt by her and her deputy Dr Shane Reti to get the caucus to oppose Labour's fluoridation plan."Collins was not defeated over her views on fluoridation but her tactics. Her erratic captain's calls during the election concerned National MPs. Last week confirmed their doubts about her judgment."Labour is on the ropes on housing and how to return to normal and Collins wants to fight the government on fluoridation!" Prebble wrote in the NZ Herald.Speaking to The Weekend Collective, Prebble says that this week's Roy Morgan is the latest evidence that National continues to be on the decline, while ACT's popularity is on the rise - as evidenced by the Party adding nine new MPs at last year's election. Prebble says that under an MMP style Parliament, it's very possible that either Labour or National could stop being a major party, citing Israel's Labour Party as an example. "It used to be the most successful Labour Party in the world, and had been the government most of the time in Israel's history. They are now reduced to seven MPs in a Parliament of 120."He says that it is not inevitable, but it is a possibility, particularly given National's current trajectory. "If you ask me to predict that's going to happen immediately, I would say that's very unlikely but I wouldn't exclude it." He says that National's problems are bigger than Judith Collins, with their selection process and several problem MPs likely leading to the Party losing the conservative vote.Prebble says that any potential leadership replacements have to move quickly before the party's prospects get any worse - and Collins has to go by Christmas. LISTEN ABOVE

Government's unhealthy obsession with only focus on containing and preventing one illness through locking down our society is leading to other health side effects, more economic devastation and resentment in the community. The Uncuckables panel discusses the growing lockdown angst week's on this week's show with Tim Wilms Editor of The Unshackled, David Hiscox Editor of the XYZ, Richard Wolstencroft Host of the Report from Tiger Mountain and Logan Spalding. Muslims in Dandenong have been revolting against the lockdown, coordinating their daily exercise outings at the same time. They were met with aggressive force by Victoria Police who are vowing to crackdown on any further activism. Despite the Melbourne media pack questioning Dan Andrews with the declining new daily case numbers when restrictions will be relaxed and what lower levels of lockdown will look like Roy Morgan polling has found that the vast majority of Victorians support the draconian stage 4 lockdown measures. An Essential Guardian poll found Australia's support electronic surveillance of those infected with coronavirus and being sent to quarantine facilities. Magda Szubanski and other local Melbourne celebrities fronted lockdown propaganda videos for Dan Andrews telling us to obey the rules. Magda complained she was fat shamed anti-lockdown celebrity chef Pete Evans in his critique of the advertisements. The panel agreed that fat shaming is a societal good and you can't promote public health if you yourself are unhealthily obese. Christchurch mosque murderer Australian Brenton Tarrant was sentenced this week for his attack that caused the death of 51 Muslims. 90 victim impact statements were read out before he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Podcasts are an ideal addition to any company's content marketing mix – and here’s why. Every current survey of podcast listenership shows that an increasing number of people are listening to them. Years ago podcasts were the product of geeks serving a niche market (they used to be called audioblogs). But during the last few years podcasting has mushroomed into the mainstream. Everyone you speak with seems to have at least one favourite podcast. And according to survey company Roy Morgan, last year (2019) more than 320,000 New Zealanders downloaded audio or video podcasts in an average four weeks, an increase of nearly 150,000 compared to 2016 – an 82 per cent increase. A survey by Radio New Zealand released in June 2019 showed 31 per cent of Kiwi's download podcasts. And 48 per cent of all podcast listeners in New Zealand are aged under 45-years-old. Any marketer has to concede that podcasting is not a passing fad.  The founder of the Content Marketing Institute, Joe Pulizzi, says podcasts offer “the best definition of ‘content’ I’ve seen”. It seems pretty clear to me there is plenty of room for business owners to exploit the podcast platform to promote their brand and increase thier relationship with their current and future customers. Audio offers a level of convenience, reach and engagement that is unmatched by any other medium. Why do you think radio is still so popular? However, your podcast content has to be engaging. You have to put the audience first. You can’t just say “buy from us because we are good”. That’s a commercial. You have to deliver much more than that. You have to give something away. Any thoughts of a sale must come after the relationship has been established. The content of your podcast could a story about how you helped a customer; about how you came up with the idea of your widget, the lessons learned in its development, the failures, the problem solving, your successes. Honest stories that build credibility and trust. Use podcasts to tell your story and the stories behind your services and products, as well as share industry news and information, along with your pick of future trends in your industry. A podcast is less time consuming to make than a video, and can provide an easy way for you to include other people in the recording. They are cheap to distribute too. There’s also a level of trust that’s built up by people listening to your voice, getting to know you, and getting a feel for your personality. A podcast can help establish you as an expert, an authority within your industry. It will expand your reach to people you could never otherwise hope to meet or influence. Too shy to put yourself out there? Don't like hearing your own voice? Well, dig deep, and embrace the medium. Think you need expensive equipment? No, you can start by recording on your phone – speaking directly into its microphone, and doing any editing on the free audio app that came with your PC. Produce one a week; build a following, and watch your brand grow.

When it comes to consumer finance, the credit card has been on the top of the pack for years. Recently, however, the tides have begun to shift. Buy Now, Pay Later is a new approach to cash flow management, and leading companies like AfterPay, ZipPay, and Klarna are attracting millions of customers across the globe. Almost 2 million Australians had used Buy Now Pay Later services according to some research released by Roy Morgan in November last year. Young Australians are the most likely to shop with buy now pay later, with nearly 56% of customers between 14 and 34 years old, with those in the 25-34 range making up 33.5% of all users.    This new industry is not devoid of criticism. Some players have been critiqued for fostering poor budgeting habits, especially among young people. These services also fall outside of regular credit and financial regulation, which led to a Senate inquiry and involvement by ASIC.  To talk us through the ins and outs of this world, we’re joined this week by Jonathan Kelly, the Chief Growth and Innovation Officer for Flexigroup. Jonathan and Sally discuss the origins of this innovative new financial technology, why consumers are so keen, and why he thinks the days are numbered for credit cards and frequent flyer points.

The facts are in again, and they show that the rich are getting richer.  If you're a regular listener, you know that we've said that on many occasions.  But today I'm having a conversation with Michele Levine, CEO of Roy Morgan, Australia's longest-established research company who recently released an Australian wealth report that's very different from all the other reports.  We're going to dig in and explain what's really been going on over the past 10 to 15 years with some interesting findings.  We chat about why the rich are getting richer and why the average Australian hasn't moved forward with their wealth over the past decade or so.  We're going to explain about men and women and why their wealth has changed.  Hopefully, this information will help to put you in the right position to become wealthier.  Then, in my mindset message, we're going to discuss why you don't want to cover the world in leather What does that mean? Listen in to find out. Key Takeaways from the Australian Wealth Report The rich are getting richer, but on average, Australians are all getting richer In Australia, the top 10% of people hold 47% of the wealth The bottom 50% hold 3.6% of the wealth The data shows that while Australian's wealth wobbled a bit during the global financial crisis, it didn't hit Australians anywhere near as hard as it hit other countries. Australian wealth has almost doubled since the GFC Just before the GFC, Australians held 4.5 trillion dollars Now it's 8.6 trillion, or 90% more wealth Of Australia's 8.6 trillion dollars in wealth, about 6 trillion is in property Australia's debt is about 1.2 trillion Looking at the median wealth for individual Australians, it's down a little bit – about 2% The top 30% have increased by 60-65% The bottom 30% have gone up by similar amounts But the 40% in the middle haven't seen the same level of increase. Their increase has been around 20%.  When you apply a CPI adjustment, you can see why the people in the middle feel less wealthy. Women still trail men in wealth. The average man has $445,000 in net wealth. The average woman has $393,00 In 2007, women had 80% of the male average wealth. Now they have about 88%.

Australia's unemployment rate has risen in August to 5.3% despite the RBA's hopes and dreams.

Apparently, the media is attempting to compare a retail worker with a lawyer. While underemployment is an issue, claims that people working too hard is taking away jobs seems farcical.

Social media. We’re all on it in some shape or form, but do we know how to use it? In this episode Paula talks to local social media maven Aimee about how she uses social media to run her earring business (High Key Obsessed), how it informs her creative practice, and can enable and build creative careers.P.S In the podcast I mention a statistic I’d encountered last year, and totally misquoted it. Roy Morgan found that young women in Australia spent, on average, over two hours on social media every day. So, while that is not the six that I mention, it is still a fairly significant amount of time, especially as a national average. You can read more about it here:Roy Morgan (2018).

Four polls came out today and Labor is celebrating. Prematurely I think. Of the four, Newspoll alone gives Labor any comfort. Perhaps Mr. O’Shaughnessy should have run it again. Newpoll puts the two parties equal at 50:50. This is an improbable - but not impossible jump from last time. This result was 45: 50 in favour of the Coalition. What makes it look like a rogue poll is that all the other polls say the Coalition would win at least comfortably, although there is a warning in one aspect of Morgan. Newspoll says Julia Gillard is easily preferred as prime minister, rising from 39:38 to 46:32. Her disapproval rating fell 5 points from 57 to 52, and her approval rating rose similarly from 31 to to 36. Tony Abbott’s hardly changed – falling one point to an approval rating of 30% and rising up one on his disapproval rating to 60%. Nielsen says the Coalition prevails comfortably in the two party preferred 53:47. Worse for the government, Labor friendly Essential agrees but at 55:45. Roy Morgan comes in with a finding in favour of the Coalition at 53.5-46.5. Unlike the other polls Morgan is face-to face. Also Morgan actually asks people how they would apply their preferences. Everybody else applies them as in the last election. If Morgan did this, the coalition lead would fall to 50.5:49.5, closer to Newspoll. Neilson also found that if Kevin Rudd replaced Julia Gillard, Labor would prevail over the coalition, 53: 47. This result is unlikely to be followed in an election. Were the ALP to overthrow Julia Gillard and return to Kevin Rudd, the Coalition would campaign on the many very vicious attacks on the public record made on Kevin Rudd by his own front bench during his last challenge. He would become the issue in any election. Neilson also found that Malcolm Turnbull, who is by far Labor voters preferred Liberal, is now also preferred by Liberal voters 53: 45. In the last poll Tony Abbott was preferred by Liberal voters by a close 50:49. It’s unlikely this will affect the Liberal backbench - unless the polls indicate, over time, that Labor would win. And the crucial measure is the two party preferred, not who is the most popular leader. This is not America. These polls probably entrench Ms. Gillard in the Labor leadership. The caucus would have to be desperate to change leaders now, and Newspoll gives them hope. In the unlikely event that Newspoll’s conclusions hold and are followed in the other polls - and this continues over a few months - an early election is on the cards.
