The Truth Behind Australia’s Economic Recovery with Ken Raiss [PODCAST]
The Truth Behind Australia’s Economic Recovery with Ken Raiss [PODCAST] Path To Enlightenment News 8 Views • 2 years ago

What a year it’s been.

This time last year Australia was heading into its first recession and deepest recession in decades.

Yet last week the Australian Bureau of Statistics confirmed the strength of Australia’s economic rebound. It was the fastest economic recovery from a recession in 45 years.

In fact, we are one of only three countries where our economy is ahead of where it was at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, but today can race and I unpack the statistics and explain what’s going on – the truth behind Australia’s economic recovery.

But don’t worry if you’re not into economics, my chat today with Ken Raiss, Australia’s leading property tax strategist, will be in plain English and we’ll unpack what’s going on so you understand what’s ahead- both the good and some of the headwinds that may slow us down, so that you’ll be able to make a better-informed investment, and financial, and business decisions.

What you’ll be hearing today is a portion of a private webinar we conducted for the attendees of Wealth Retreat to give them some insight before they join us, and while you won’t be able to see the slides, I’m sure our description will be sufficient for you to get benefit from our chat.

Australia’s impressive economic recovery from the COVID-19 recession was confirmed with the strong 1.8 percent rise in March quarter GDP.

This followed unprecedented growth of 3.2 percent in the December quarter and 3.5 percent in the September quarter of 2020.

Our economic output is now higher than it was before the COVID-19 recession hit, with easy monetary policy, booming commodity prices, demand for resources from the rampant Chinese economy, and fiscal policy stimulus all playing a part.

Back in the first three months of this year when we had JobKeeper, enhanced unemployment benefits, and no lockdowns and Australia roared out of recession.

The GDP figures released at the beginning of June, which were for the first quarter of the year up til the end of March were for the months leading up to the end of JobKeeper.

Australians spent, earned, and produced an impressive 1.8%  more than in three months to December, which was itself more 3.2% more than the three months to September, which was itself 3.5% more than the three months before that.

Our growth of more than 8% was the most over three quarters since 1968.

But it followed a collapse in gross domestic product of 7% – by far the worst since the Bureau of Statistics began compiling records in 1959.

The net result over the year to March growth of 1.1%, an extraordinary result which means that, at least until Victoria’s (just extended) lockdown, we were producing, earning, and spending more than before the COVID recession.

I today’s podcast Ken and I discuss:

• what GDP is and why so much fuss is made about it
• Why I think that having a single overriding ‘economic’ health measure such as GDP is flawed
• What’s happening to unemployment, job growth, business, and private expenditure.

Here are 7 reasons to be optimistic about the future.

• Covid vaccines will help in underpinning reopening and recovery
• Global growth is recovering rapidly — driven by vaccines enabling reopening, monetary and fiscal stimulus, and pent-up demand.
• Growth in consumer spending is well supported
• Dwelling investment will provide a strong contribution to growth — the surge in building approvals points to more upside in housing construction this year.
• Business investment is strengthening - — investment plans for the next financial year are up nearly 15% on plans for a year ago which is consistent with high levels of business confidence, excess corporate cash, and the instant asset write-off tax break.
• Fiscal stimulus will continue
• Monetary policy will remain easy
However, there are some headwinds.

Economic growth should continue this year and then could slow next year as some headwinds are revealed, the effects of the fiscal measures start to fade, and the housing market slows down a little.

• further coronavirus outbreaks
• economic ramifications of the international border closure,
• the potential for further lockdowns due to the slow vaccine rollout, and
• the geopolitical risks emanating from Australia’s “strained” relationship with China.

Thursday, October 2, 2003
San Francisco, CA

Co-sponsored by Harper’s Magazine, The Drug Policy Alliance and the Richard and Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley

In 1996 California voters passed Proposition 215, allowing physicians to recommend marijuana for medical purposes. Last October the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that doctors have a constitutional right to discuss marijuana with patients. Refusing to accept the will of the electorate, the federal government is fighting back. In January, prosecutors secured a drug conviction against Ed Rosenthal by suppressing key information at trial that he had been deputized by the City of Oakland to distribute medical marijuana. Upon learning this, the public was outraged and members of the jury disavowed their verdict. However, instead of a possible 60 years, Rosenthal was sentenced to only one day in prison, and a victory was declared for medical marijuana. Not to be discouraged, the Department of Justice has since asked the Supreme Court to allow it to punish doctors who recommend marijuana, and the DEA continues to raid and close down clinics.

Will the federal government stop the use of medical marijuana? Can the American people stop the federal government? What is the truth about the medicinal benefits and social impact of marijuana, and why does the government continue to oppose any and all drug decriminalization? This Independent Policy Forum assembles several of the foremost experts in medicine, drug policy, and journalism to discuss the past, present, and future of medical marijuana and the war on drugs.

ED ROSENTHAL, noted activist and best-selling author, is a key figure in the medical marijuana movement. In 30 years of study and writing, he has become a trusted expert on marijuana use and social policy. He is co-author of the book Why Marijuana Should Be Legal and has written over a dozen other books on the subject. Mr. Rosenthal presents a clear and concise analysis of the effects of marijuana and marijuana laws on society.

DONALD I. ABRAMS, M.D., is Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of California st San Francisco and one of the leading researchers of medical marijuana. He is also Assistant Director of the AIDS Program at San Francisco General Hospital and since 1981 has been involved in several landmark studies on HIV and AIDS. He has conducted clinical trials of marijuana since 1997, with grants from the National Institute of Health.

EDWIN DOBB is Contributing Editor at Harper's magazine. His writings on civil liberties have been published in Harper's, Amnesty Now and San Francisco magazine. He was formerly Senior Editor of The Sciences, writes for the New York Times Magazine and is a visiting lecturer for the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley.

ROBERT J. MacCOUN is Professor of Law and Public Policy at the Richard and Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and is co-author of the book Drug War Heresies. He was formerly a behavioral scientist at the Institute for Civil Justice and the Drug Policy Research Center at the RAND Corporation. He is one of the world's foremost experts on drug policy.

The Non-Truth: Accounts of the Indonesian Political Exiles in Europe
The Non-Truth: Accounts of the Indonesian Political Exiles in Europe Path To Enlightenment News 3 Views • 2 years ago

The Non-Truth: Accounts of the Indonesian Political Exiles in Europe by Dr Soe Tjen Marching was recorded on 25th October 2022. Further details: https://www.soas.ac.uk/about/e....vent/non-truth-accou

This seminar will discuss Indonesian political exiles (in relation to the 1965 genocide in Indonesia) who now reside in Europe. “Truth and reconciliation” have become very important notions in confronting issues relating to manipulated history and human rights abuses in the context of the 1965 genocide. Many activists in Indonesia have emphasised that reconciliation will not take place without recognition of the truth. However, interviews carried out by Dr. Marching concerning the events of 1965 in Indonesia revealed many inconsistencies in respective accounts of the genocide. Does this phenomenon confirm the postmodern theory that "there is no truth"? And if there is no truth, how do we approach the activists’ and survivors’ demands for the truth?

"DON'T TELL ME (FEAT. ANN WILSON)" LYRICS:
We know we should turn and just walk away
We can’t help but cause more pain
Wounded more with every word that we say
The memories remain

Here we are
Once again
Questioning the end
Am I supposed to let you go

Don’t tell me now that you hate me
For never letting go
Let there be no doubt
I can’t live my life without you

I close my eyes and still hear the screams
That would tear apart our world
I keep reliving everything
I can’t believe how much this hurts

Here we are
Once again
Still questioning the end
How can I let you go  

Don’t tell me now that you hate me
For never letting go
Let there be no doubt
I can’t live my life without you

Here we are 
Once again
Still questioning the end
How can I let you go

Don’t tell me now that you hate me
For never letting go
Let there be no doubt
I can’t live my life without you

Don’t tell me now that you hate me
Because I don’t want to let you go
It’s like living hell
For me to live my life without you

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
You turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You waited hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow beckoning
Then, your fear seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away

[Chorus]
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (All's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

[Verse 2]
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You're the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind
And reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer, if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory

[Chorus]
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (All's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

[Bridge]
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

[Chorus]
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (All's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

[Outro]
Don't ignore, listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light

Lyrics:
Listen, everyone
The time will come when all of us say goodbye
Feel that aching in your heart
Leaving you broken inside
But we're never really gone
As long as there's a memory in you mind

So now go do the best things in life
Take a bite of this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Make a ride of this world while you can

Take the ones you love
And hold them close because there is little time
And don't let it break your heart
I know it feels hopeless sometimes
But they're never really gone
As long as there's a memory in you mind

So now go do the best things in life
Take a bite of this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Make a ride of this world while you can

And hold on to memories
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive
The world's greatest tragedy
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive

So now go do the best things in life
Bring the fight to this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Shine your light on this world while you can

And hold on to memories
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive
The world's greatest tragedy
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive

And hold on to memories (Hold on)
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive (Keep them alive)
The world's greatest tragedy (Hold on)
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive

🎤 Lyrics: Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence (CYRIL Remix)
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs
That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
And the words that it was forming

And the sign said
The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
