Australia is in pretty good economic shape, but will the end of JobKeeper change that? Covid? What Covid? From what I’ve seen the pubs and clubs are bustling, sports stadiums are getting crowds, believers are congregating in their places of worship and woah this light rail to campus is actually kind of crammed. With the …

Caring for others creates the spirit of a nation. Australia’s care sector floats on the intrinsic bed of community generosity, support and altruism. This fundamentally self-less sector is made up of a diverse range of carers, stretching from nursing support workers, to aged and disabled carers to childcare assistance. However, while these services extend their …

I lament the day when I walk down the streets of Sydney and I’m slowly closed in by the office metropolis, the hi-vis windows, the mega-corps, the concrete jungle. The day when bars no longer buzz with live music, when streets are no longer coloured with art, when crowds no longer bustle outside Enmore Theatre, …

After getting rejected for NAB’s Vacationer Program this year, I thought it would be best to take out my frustration on them through a hit-piece cleverly disguised as an ‘unbiased article’. My attempt at misdirection is not one NAB would be too unfamiliar with. After all, their community driven ‘Introducer Program’ was simply a thinly …
Well it’s official. Australia has entered its first recession in 30 years with GDP contracting by 7% in the June quarter, putting an end to our global record. If you were born in 1992 or later (like me) then this is the first recession you’ve ever experienced and if history is anything to go by, …
Are you root 2? Because you make me irrational!!! Almost as irrational as the popping off of property prices before falling back in line. Similar to what Australia experienced back in the early 2000’s. But… we’re still waiting for prices to fully ‘fall back in line’. The real estate bubble refers to the economic theory …
Generation Zest We are in limbo. We have one foot swamped in a remote-educational wasteland, the other sinking in financial uncertainty. We hesitate to take a step forward in the dark, where prospects of employment wilt in the hands of a rapidly withdrawing economy. This is the current reality for many young people who often …
As a student in my third year studying both Actuarial Studies and Economics, I’ve pondered many times whether there is a feasible link between the two degrees. To ease my anxiety about potentially wasting my university years doing things that are completely uncorrelated, I decided to take a deep dive into the recent history of …

A tragic love tale that would captivate Shakespeare himself This is an economic love story like no other, created out of the race to globalisation, the Australian-China trade relationship has been critical to both countries economic success in the last 3 decades. Yet, like the Shakespearean classic, it seems these ocean crossed lovers are heading …

Not sure if this is just a me problem, but I’ve always wondered what the environment had to do with economics. It has its own category in the federal budget, it’s being taught in the HSC syllabus, and it’s policies have copped me a $200 fine for fishing without a fishing licence 🙁 Before the environmentalists …
