Using data provided by Asbestos Awareness Australia we examine the dynamics of research economics, and highlight how politics and profit distorts investment and thus medical progress. If a particular disease is presented as “an old man’s disease”, a “working class disease”, funding is less likely to be provided.

I am joined by Robbie Barwick from The Citizens Party as we discuss the latest Deposit Bail-In issues, prompted by a New Zealand Government paper which proposes to change the current “Open Banking Resolution” Bail-In approach.

Great questions which should be asked of all Central Banks, including RBA here.
