Show Notes
It's a big week for economic news - the Reserve Bank cut interest rates, and next week’s Economic Reform Roundtable has been a big talking point. Westpac CEO Anthony Miller also made waves with his unrelenting work schedule… Then we bundle up 2 big international stories - the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, and the response to Australia’s move to recognise Palestinian statehood. And Taylor Swift has new tunes coming in October - we get into how that was announced. In what's coming up, there’s an infrastructure conference to clock (no, really…) and an exciting air race across the outback.
