In this thought-provoking episode of The Jason de Sousa Show, we’re joined by Andrew Low, author of “We Should Be So Lucky”, to challenge outdated notions of Australia as “China’s quarry and Japan’s beach” – and to explore what it really means to be Australian today. From the Voice referendum to the decline in productivity, education standards, and energy policy – this wide-ranging conversation tackles the key questions shaping our national future: 🔹 What does modern Australian identity and citizenship look like? 🔹 Is our wealth and prosperity at risk due to rising taxation, overregulation, and bloated public sector growth? 🔹 Why is productivity falling and what’s happening to our education system? 🔹 Are we getting energy policy disastrously wrong by ignoring nuclear while chasing 100% renewables? 🔹 How do we find our rightful place in an increasingly uncertain world? We dive into the “Somewheres vs Anywheres” debate, question whether our national story is still on track, and ask if it's time for a bold rethink in how we educate, power, and position ourselves globally. 📘 The Book: “We Should Be So Lucky: Why the Australian Way Works” – Available now in bookstores. 👤 Guest: Andrew Low – Investor, commentator, and author 🎙️ Host: Jason de Sousa Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment your thoughts on how we redefine the Australian way forward. #TheJasonDeSousaShow #AndrewLow #AustralianIdentity #AustralianPolitics #Productivity #EnergyPolicy #EducationReform #WeShouldBeSoLucky…

India is a rising power. A country of deep history, beloved in Australia for its culture, cuisine and cricket obsession. It is also the country of my parent’s birth, one I have visited since childhood and one which has always captured my love and imagination. Governed now by a nationalist administration and a prime minister, Narendra Modi, whose leadership has overwhelmingly been endorsed by the Indian people at multiple elections, India is finding its voice - with a deeper focus on nationalism and an intensified leadership in international affairs. Rishi Suri is the third generation of his family to serve as editor of the Daily Milap.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedOver the last 20 years there has been accelerated growth in house prices across the World's major cities, with Australian cities running towards the top of the pack. Average house prices in Sydney and Melbourne have increased between five to six times in the last two decades. At the same time real wages have run stagnant, leading to growing affordability pressures and making the “great Australian dream” of owning a home that much more difficult to achieve. Housing policy has, as a consequence, been at the centre of political competition between the major parties, with Governments prescribing policies from financial incentives to the private sector to deliver subsidised housing to straight public funding of new government housing – seemingly without material success in moving the needle. With a lack of access to affordable housing the visible outcome of growing inequality in our cities – what will it take to make housing work for everyone? And how do we get there?…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSeven of Australia’s top 10 trading partners are in Asia, with trading relations driven by a growing proportion of cross-border investment and people movement between Asian nations and Australia. The ability of all nations to turbocharge economic recovery post Covid-19 will depend on building trading and investment links between nations stronger than they have ever been before. But, in the wake of increasing geo-political strain between super powers and intense competition for strategic advantage between nations, the fragility of links between seemingly strong partners has been exposed prompting the need to renew and refresh trading relationships. My guest today is Mukund Narayana Murti, CEO of AsiaLink Business, which has just released a landmark report on how Australia can respond to the challenges ahead and win in Asia. He is daring Australian business leaders, policymakers and investors to get coordinated and get active post pandemic and move into a new era of inter-regional trade.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedCommunications and political strategist and Sky News contributor, Kristy McSweeney, joins this episode of Smarter Cities. As Australia struggles with a potential second wave of COVID-19, the depth and impact of locking down the economy, and providing unprecedented publicly funded support, is becoming apparent. Australia has a forecast budget deficit of almost 10% of GDP in 2020-21, and a sharp increase in net debt to over 35% of GDP, levels unimaginable less than twelve months ago. Massive stimulus packages announced in most nations to fight the virus has left the majority of advanced economies with net debt to GDP ratios above 100 per cent, with the red ink likely deepening as the fight continues. With governments increasingly being called on to intervene harder and faster to protect populations, keep people employed and chart a pathway out of the pandemic, and with a private sector waiting for COVID-19 conditions to ease, has COVID-19 changed the role of the public sector in the economy? Is this sustainable?…

Beyond the immediate health impacts, governments are now turning their minds to economic clean up. The IMF’s recent prediction has the world's largest economies – China, the US and the Euro area – set to experience massive year-on-year contractions in 2020 before being able to recover in 2021. Australia has fared better than most nations but faces tough challenges ahead in driving its economic recovery which, as an open trading nation, depends on the health of the world economy and a willingness to trade freely for success. But with international borders closed, ongoing threats of trade restrictions between the major powers, and a virus that we have still not learnt to live with, how realistic is this?
