What major impact would a second Trump presidency on the global economy? Our experts says it would come from his rejection of climate change. @UniCanberra theconversation.com/what-wouā€¦

What would a second Trump presidency mean for the global economy?

Trump has a poor track record on trade, inflation and taxes but the area of biggest economic concern if he is re-elected president would come from his rejection of climate change.

Any mention of the 'R' word can trigger anxiety. But not all definitions of recession are the same, and not being in one doesn't necessarily mean people aren't feeling economic pain. @leonora_risse explains. @UniCanberra theconversation.com/whats-a-ā€¦

Whatā€™s a recession ā€“ and how can we tell if weā€™re in one?

Any mention of the ā€˜Rā€™ word can trigger anxiety. But not all definitions of recession are the same, and not being in one doesnā€™t necessarily mean people arenā€™t feeling economic pain.

It's equal pay day and there's finally some good-ish news. Women still earn 11.5% less than men, but that's the steepest fall in the gap in almost a decade. But national averages donā€™t tell the whole story. @leonora_risse @unicanberra theconversation.com/australiā€¦

Australiaā€™s gender pay gap has hit a record low ā€“ but we still have work to do

Now at 11.5%, the gap in weekly full-time earnings has just seen its steepest annual fall in almost a decade. But national averages donā€™t tell the whole story.

The result of 3.8% is what the Reserve Bank expected and it doesn't automatically mean your rates will rise. šŸ  šŸ’° @UniCanberra theconversation.com/australiā€¦

Australiaā€™s 3.8% inflation rate is concerning, but not enough to trigger a rate rise

The result of 3.8% is what the Reserve Bank expected. The so-called underlying rate of inflation actually fell.

Trump shooting is a warning about how toxic language leads to violence

All ā€˜commitā€™ and no ā€˜disagreeā€™: the real reason why Laborā€™s solidarity pledge is not working

Laborā€™s solidarity pledge is effective and necessary - and has been so for more than 100 years. But it only works properly if MPs can freely voice their concerns and disagreements in caucus.
