Show Notes
It’s time for our our yearly budget analysis with David Collyer to discuss the latest round of political economy. Does the economics get in the way of the politics or what? $30,000 for first home buyers, $300,000 in incentives for the boomers. Later we found out it is actually $600,000.

Stepping into the big league with the CommonWealth Bank’s Snr Economist Gareth Aird on the trail of how land could be removed from the core inflation figures. Is this a valid reflection of reality? How much higher would inflation be if it was included and what would that mean for economic policy?
