  • Trump chaos driving bleak economic outlook
    Apr 16 2026

    It reads like a dystopian sci-fi novel, but the latest IMF report on the global economy refuses to name the orange elephant in the room.

    On this episode of Dollars & Sense, Greg and Elinor discuss the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s latest World Economic Outlook report, its forecast for Australia, Angus Taylor’s Trumpy immigration policy announcement, and why immigration isn’t causing the housing crisis.

    This discussion was recorded on Thursday 16 April 2026.

  • Will Trump send Australia into recession?
    Apr 9 2026

    The US president is wreaking havoc in Iran and around the world.

    On this episode of Dollars & Sense, Greg and Elinor discuss Trump’s horrific threats against Iran, whether Australians should be concerned about a recession as a result of the global uncertainty the US president is causing, Matt Canavan’s plans for an economic revolution, and why land values have skyrocketed while the value of the dwellings on the land hasn’t changed much at all.
