Finance presenter Alan Kohler retiring after three decades at ABC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a brilliant 31-year career as the ABC's finance guru, Alan Kohler has decided to hang up his boots at the end of the year. With a successful career in print before moving to television, Kohler has been one of the most influential journalists Australia has ever produced, as a former editor of The Australian Financial Review (AFR) and The Age and as an incisive columnist on all affairs financial. "I love the ABC, always have, even more so after I joined it," he told ABC staff in a statement.
The RBA has no choice but to hike rates as US currency crown slips (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is a phrase synonymous with American dominance, especially when it came to matters financial. While it first appeared on a 2-cent coin in 1864, it wasn't officially adopted until 1956, when Dwight D Eisenhower declared it the national motto.

A deadly trifecta of higher input costs, disrupted trade routes, and a changing climate has combined to drastically reduce food supply, particularly grains and especially wheat. Global food exporters, including Australia, are suffering in a vice-like grip, caught between soarin
Why it's households, not the government with the debt problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shakespeare may well have been onto something when one of his characters in Hamlet uttered these immortal words: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." Unfortunately, Polonius's parting advice to his son — that lending to friends can result in the loss of both cash and comrades — seems to have been consigned to the dustbin of history. For the past 50 years, debt in almost every conceivable category and country has risen to extraordinary levels, to the point where we have largely become desensitis
