This week senior Chanticleer columnist James Thomson and Australian Financial Review editor in chief James Chessell unpack the national implications from the coup that brought down the Victorian premier, they examine the RBA’s big interest rate dilemma between sticky inflation and falling house prices and try and unpick a week where it all got a bit strange in the AI boom.
