3AW Remember When

From the Summary Podcast - As the national economy slows and household budgets remain under sustained pressure, economists and policymakers keep pointing to a single silver bullet to turn things around: boosting productivity. Yet for many workers, the term often sounds like corporate jargon for doing longer hours for the same pay. On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant unpacks what productivity actually means in the modern era and why Australia has hit an economic stalemate. Dr. Alex Robson, Deputy Chair of the Productivity Commission, explains why productivity is about working smarter rather than Harder, how rapidly changing technology and digital roles make economic output difficult to measure, and the major structural barriers holding the nation back. Then, Chief Societal Economist at UNSW Professor Richard Holden explores why national growth has flatlined, what is dragging down Australian business dynamism, and what governments and companies must do to unlock long-term prosperity.

From The Summary Podcast - Affecting roughly one in seven women and girls, endometriosis remains one of the most widespread yet historically underfunded and misunderstood medical conditions in the world. Now, Australia is taking a major step forward as the world-first Ainsworth Endometriosis Research Institute names its inaugural director to fast-track answers. On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant explores why critical questions around diagnosis and treatment persist and how systemic bias continues to shape modern medicine. Inaugural Chair and Director Professor Kate Lawrenson explains what a dedicated research facility means for uncovering the root causes of the condition and outlines her key priorities starting in January. Then, Australian Women’s Health Alliance Chair Bonney Corbin discusses the broader gender divide in healthcare and why clinicians need to look well beyond reproductive health to treat women effectively. Finally, reproductive health sociologist Kate Fisher from QENDO details the immense everyday reality for those living with the disease, from diagnostic delays to the anxiety of managing fertility windows while in chronic pain.
