This episode features highlights from *Dollars and Cents* by The Australia Institute, diving into recent economic developments in Australia. We explore the Reserve Bank's latest interest rate cut, differing expert opinions on monetary policy, and the evolving definition of full employment. Plus, we break down new data on the gender pay gap in both public and private sectors, and consider how global uncertainty—including Trump-era policy echoes—could shape Australia’s outlook. A timely look at the intersections of policy, equity, and economics.
