Want to be more resilient? Move to Canberra (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Which communities will be most impacted by this week's interest rate increase? Which communities will be most impacted by this summer's bushfires, Trump's tariffs, cuts to immigration, artificial intelligence, another pandemic, or an economic downturn? We now know the answers to these questions. Enter the Australian Resilience Index: an index we at Mandala developed with the insurance company, Zurich, and Australia's top pollsters, RedBridge and Accent, over the last year. What do an economics f
How we measure production is producing problems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gross domestic product (GDP) is a flawed measure. Economists have known this for as long as we've been measuring it. If I pay someone to walk my dog, mind my child, or cook me dinner, it all counts towards GDP. If I do those things myself, it gets left out, despite producing the exact same amount of value, if not more. The real economy is not as real as we might think.

The most common example is job cuts. When companies announce job cuts, reduced hiring or smaller grad programs, they are increasingly citing AI as a key reason. But is this true? The problem is
Other than inflation, the numbers look OK. So why is our economy really in pain? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are you in any pain? Doctors ask this because it's a pretty reliable indicator of whether there's a problem. It's not reliable, however, when you've popped a pill or two to mask the pain. This is the challenge facing the Australian economy. Other than inflation (a big exception), the headline numbers aren't too bad. The economy grew 2.5 per cent over the past year. Private investment grew 3.6 per cent. Household consumption and retail spending are both growing despite cost-of-living pressures. T
