Why Jillian Broadbent believes reform, not rhetoric, will drive Australia forward

Jillian Broadbent has worked at the heart of Australia’s financial and policy institutions for decades.

She began at the Reserve Bank under Nugget Coombs, helped build Bankers Trust during deregulation, and later served three terms on the RBA board through the Asian and global financial crises.

She also chaired the Clean Energy Finance Corporation from inception and served as Chancellor of the University of Wollongong.

In this episode, Broadbent reflects on central banking, board life, clean energy finance and why Australia still needs meaningful economic reform.
