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.

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.
