"Our politicians are economically illiterate!", Economist torches the political class | Michael, The Ark E71 🇦🇺

About this episode

Michael Baragwanath critiques the Albanese government on economic issues and the fuel crisis in Australia.

In this conversation I was joined again by Michael Baragwanath who is the managing director at Clime, an investment fund of $2 billion dollars. Michael did not mince his words to say the least! He took the Albanese government to task not only on the recent fuel crisis in Australia but also the lack of nation building projects underway. I found the discussion refreshing and informative as I feel that we don't hear enough criticism of the government from big business so Michael's input was certainly welcomed! I hope you enjoy this chat 🙏 This episode was filmed on the 8th of April 2026 Thank you for your support keeping this show going 🙏 - https://tpaust.com.au/shop/ 🔑 Click here to follow us elsewhere - https://shor.by/TheArk  If you like this content please remember to comment, share and smash that like button to boost us in the algorithm.
