CONTESTED GROUND: The intersection of national security and Australia’s declining economic performance
Update: 2024-12-13
Description
In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, special host Steve Kuper is joined by co-host Major General (Ret’d) Marcus Thompson and AMP’s chief economist, Shane Oliver, to discuss the latest economic data and what it means for the nation’s economic and national security.
The trio discuss the recently released Australian gross domestic product figures and the impact of Australia’s ailing economy on national security.
They also discuss:
- Australia’s collapsing productivity and the growth of record government spending on the national economy and the baked-in, long-term structural deficits that will characterise the future fiscal outlook for the country.
- The need to boost economic complexity and diversity to better prepare the nation to face the mounting geopolitical and “whole-of-nation” efforts being leveraged against Australia in this new multipolar world and how best to deliver such a monumental change.
- The urgent need for a serious national debate with the Australian public about the future of the country and its economic future and the intersection of national security.
