In today's episode, economist and commentator Evan Lucas joins Ana to unpack some of the biggest forces shaping the Australian economy right now. From AI and the jobs market to the federal budget and what the CGT changes actually mean for everyday investors.
In this episode, they cover:
💸 Why AI is an enhancer, not just an efficiency tool
💸 The industrial revolution comparison: what history says about job displacement and where the new opportunities will emerge
💸 Australia's federal budget breakdown: the minimum wage rise, income tax frustration, and why 54% of government revenue coming from one source is a problem
💸 The proposed CGT changes explained in plain numbers (and why Evan thinks they'll hurt everyday investors more than the wealthy)
💸 Why housing affordability is being debated in the wrong arena entirely
💸 The GST conversation nobody wants to have (but probably should)
💸 What Gen Z & Alpha are up against, and why the system isn't rewarding hard work the way it used to
