Episode description

"The economy" is the number one issue for Australians at the ballot box, even if no-one knows what that means.

When COVID struck, there was a bit of a line outside Centrelink for a couple of days, but we rolled out a few stimulus packages and a government program or two and we’re roaring back. Or so we're told.

But what happens if we lose our AAA credit rating? Probably nothing hey. If the AUD is smashing the USD is that a good thing or a bad thing? And who is the best source for investment tips: David "Kochie" Koch, or Tom Pietrowski from CommSec?

Featuring Aussie comedian, social commentator and friend of the show, Luke Heggie.
