Money for the Masses: Money Migrants Housing & the Economy

The second of a series of podcast discussions with Deep T covering a range of aspects about the Australian Economy and the current economic pathway Australia is on.

This is a 45 Minute discussion with Deep T about the role of Immigration, Money Supply, and Housing in relation to the Australian economy. The discussion looks at ‘skills shortages’ the need for economic competitiveness that heavy migration can obscure and the longer term implications of of following that as an underlying economic path.

Part of the aim of the discussion is to help inform and to cultivate discussion, against the backdrop of a mainstream media which rarely looks at the subjects. Listeners should by all means pose questions and we will endeavour to provide a response and cover issues raised in subsequent pods.
