Federal budgets or bags of tricks...? Looking at the 2021 version from outside-the-'normal'-box

Friday, 28 May 2021 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer cast a critical eye over the recent Australian Government budget, looking past the theatre of media announcements and the low expectations of ‘business as usual’.

They analyse the budget within the broader context of what’s happening to ‘ordinary’ people in Australia and worldwide in the latest version of neo-liberal capitalism trying to turn to a Keynesian spending frenzy in a presumed response to COVID.... but this one is also a bag of tricks...

 

 

 

 

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
