How do we make Australia more prosperous? How do we encourage people to build businesses, take risks and compete with the rest of the world? Our politicians and government are spending the money that comes from our work, our risk and our effort. So we should demand more from them. More innovation. More ambition. More bold decisions. As Australians, we should expect to have one of the highest standards of living in the world. Let’s demand this from the people who lead us.

How Lang Hancock, father of Gina Rinehart, made his wealth. He has spent more than 50 years at the centre of Australian financial journalism, and few people alive have watched this country’s booms, busts, and policy shifts with more clarity. In this conversation, Alan and I trace the arc of Australian capitalism from the Poseidon nickel boom of 1969 through to the rise of Elon Musk and the AI era. Alan draws striking parallels between the charismatic deal-makers of the 1980s, Bond, Elliott, Skase, and the story-sellers of today, and explains why irrational exuberance always takes longer to unravel than anyone expects. He also gives a frank assessment of what Australian housing policy has got wrong, why superannuation remains the country’s greatest economic achievement, and what capital gains tax reform should actually look like.

Economist Christopher Joye’s predictions for the Australian housing market. Round 4 of Straight Talk with christopher joye is out now! He is one of Australia’s sharpest economic minds, a fund manager, AFR columnist, and architect of the indices used to measure Australian house prices. Joye delivers a blunt assessment of where Australia is headed economically, arguing the country is increasingly taxing the private sector to fund an expanding public service. He explains how that policy shift could fuel inflation, weigh on house prices, and accelerate the brain drain that few politicians are willing to confront honestly. The conversation also explores what’s happening in the US economy, global markets, Bitcoin, AI, and much more. Search Straight Talk with Mark Bouris for a link to the full episode.

Economics expert on the CGT changes Leith van Onselen is one of Australia's most credible economists and a straight-talking critic of government policy. In this episode, we dissect the Albanese government's latest budget and its real impact on inflation, housing affordability, and living standards. Leith explains why this isn't tax reform but simply a tax grab, how immigration policy is driving the housing crisis, and why Australia's productivity growth ranks among the worst in the OECD. We explore the disconnect between headline GDP figures and per capita reality, the expansion of the government-funded sector, and what this means for future generations.

Political expert on why voters are turning against the two-party system. In this conversation, No.1 political strategist and pollster Kos Samaras explains how Australia’s political landscape is fragmenting beyond recognition. He reveals why traditional Liberal and Labor voters are abandoning both major parties, how disillusioned Australians are turning to One Nation and the Greens, and why the country is heading toward a more divided political future. From the collapse of manufacturing in regional Australia to the psychological impact of Melbourne’s lockdowns, Samaras breaks down the economic, cultural and generational forces reshaping Australian democracy. He also explores why younger Australians are losing faith in the system, why many no longer believe they can afford children or home ownership, and how social media algorithms are accelerating political polarisation across the country.
