What if I told you that Australia's economy is more closely tied to China than ever before? Join me in an insightful conversation with Tarric Brooker, a seasoned expert in geopolitics, finance, and economics with experience at News Corp and Hill Tower Resource Advisors. We unpack the mixed bag of the Chinese economy, its impact on Australia's exports and budget surplus, and delve into the world of property bubbles and engineered glide paths.

In our discussion, we explore the fascinating relationship between Australia and China, touching upon the effects of rising inflation in China on Australia's economy, and the Australian federal government's reliance on commodities to fund its spending. Additionally, we examine the potential devaluation of the Chinese Yuan and its possible impact on the Australian dollar. We also analyze Australia's unique response to rising interest rates and its precarious position with 85-95% of mortgages being variable rate.

Lastly, Tarric and I discuss the disinflationary and deflationary forces of widening wealth gap, demographics, and technology, and ponder the changing narrative of demographics post-COVID. We consider how AI may replace the need for more people, and explore the potential unique case of Australia's boomer-powered economy, where older Australians are an aggregate exceedingly wealthy. Tune in as we debate the possible short term inflationary effects of the reminder of death in the midst of the COVID lockdown, compared to the longer-term deflationary effects.
