1 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: From The Australian. Here's what's on the front. I'm Claire Harvey. 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, April eighth, twenty twenty five. There's a risk 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: of recession. Those chilling words from the Treasurer Jim Chalmers, 4 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: as all sides of politics and a panicking market react 5 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. Releasing Treasury's pre election forecast, 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: the government says that next rate cut could be as 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: big as fifty bases points. The leaders meet on Tuesday 8 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: night for the campaign's first debate, as Peter Dutton dumps 9 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: his policy of ending public servants work from home, and 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: Anthony Albanez he seeks to reassure Australians he can handle 11 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: the relationship with Donald Trump. One in three university applicants 12 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: have claimed bonus entry points based on factors like disability, divorce, 13 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: domestic violence or mental ill health. That's an exclusive live 14 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: now at Beaustralian dot com dot AU. Tariffs are bad 15 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: and free trade is good. That's supposed to be the 16 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: economic consensus. But throw a populist politician like Donald Trump 17 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: into the mix and suddenly everything we thought we knew 18 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: about globalization and raising living standards gets chucked out the window. Today, 19 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm joined by our business editor Ves Napolak, who's at 20 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: the center of the biggest story on Earth, to work 21 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: out how Australia and our economy fit into this new 22 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: world order. 23 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: Bueller Bueller. 24 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Ferris Bueller's Day Off will be forty years old next. 25 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: Year, Bueller Buehler. 26 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: But the John Hughes classic, which launched Matthew Broderick to stardom, 27 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: captured something about adolescent malaise that's still perfect today. 28 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: In nineteen thirty, the Republican controlled House of Representatives, in 29 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 2: an effort to alleviate the effects of the Anyone, Anyone 30 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: the Great Depression. 31 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: School was just so boring. The teachers wanted to talk 32 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: about things like tariffs. 33 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: Passed the Anyone, Anyone the Holly Smoot Tariff Act, which 34 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: raised tariffs in an effort to collect more revenue for 35 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: the federal government. Did it work, Anyone? It did not work, 36 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. 37 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: If only more Americans had paid attention, we might not 38 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: be here tonight. 39 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: Trump's tariffs and financial markets into free from. 40 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: Twenty five billion dollars wiped off the. 41 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: Ax cten concerns of a recession at a global trade war. 42 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: I find so few parallels with what we've seen before, 43 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 4: and that's what's truly scary about this time. In March 44 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 4: twenty twenty, in the COVID drawdown, smart investors knew that 45 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 4: once we were past the worst of this, we were 46 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 4: walking into one of the greatest consumption booms in history 47 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 4: and everyone was going to be feeling really good and 48 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 4: most importantly, they were going to spend. This is not 49 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 4: the case here. This one is properly scary and no 50 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: wonder one hundred and sixty billion dollars was wiped off 51 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 4: the ax on Monday. 52 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: Ve's Napolak is the Australian's business editor and her newsrooms 53 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: around the country are melting down right now along with 54 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: the stock market. 55 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 4: Everyone's a markets writer today, Claire. We're talking to people 56 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 4: who are really quite well off. You would think that, 57 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 4: you know, they're not going to be so bothered by 58 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: it four five percent draw down. You might be surprised 59 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 4: that some of them are. And we're also talking to 60 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: experts in the market who advise investors and manage money 61 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 4: for a living, and those are the guys that are 62 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 4: the most inclined to panic right now because suddenly everyone's 63 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 4: ten percent poorer. It's measurable, and that's what makes it scary. 64 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: Reason it's ninety five years since the Smooth Hawly Tariff 65 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: Act failed to help the US, and the reason it 66 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: failed is that other countries retaliated by imposing tariffs on 67 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: American goods, and that reduced global trade. But how is 68 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: it that we've ended up in a place where that 69 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: message has been forgotten? 70 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 4: I think we forget how hard we fought to get here, 71 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 4: and a lot of the benefits of free trade can 72 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 4: be minimized really easily, and that's exactly what's happened since 73 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. So we get to a point everybody 74 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 4: is feeling quite well off because the market has had 75 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 4: some spectacular games until now. So the feeling is not 76 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 4: one of, well, you know, there's a lot to lose. 77 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 4: The feeling was one of let's see where this goes. 78 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 4: And in hindsight, that was nice. But what's also true 79 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 4: up until last year was your iPhone, your car, and 80 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 4: your Lululemon never costs more than it did because of inflation. 81 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: And I think a lot of things in history have 82 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 4: really capitalized on inflationary periods where we ziggered with zag 83 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 4: this instance, we've definitely zagged. But it's why central banks, 84 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 4: including the RBA, have been so so serious about the 85 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 4: scourge of inflation, because it does lead to events like 86 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 4: this because people get fed up and cost of living 87 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 4: is something we've been talking about for three years and 88 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 4: it's no small thing. The wealth effect of the share 89 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 4: market is a wonderful thing, and quite a lot of 90 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 4: people participated that. But that's different to the scorecard of 91 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 4: Bill's iPhones, legging sweet whatever it may be. Like, everyone 92 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: has a reference point for these, and frankly, it's only 93 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 4: been going up. 94 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: On social media. Americans are alternating between defending Trump's tariffs 95 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: and explaining the whole concept to one another. 96 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: I think it's a negotiation strategy, so it's going to 97 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 3: be outrageous and something to catch everyone's attention and then 98 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: eventually there'll be some negotiation. 99 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: I am not worried about price school or not. Why so, 100 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be man anything. 101 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: We pay the terraffs, but the companies pay the terroriffs, 102 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: not us. 103 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: Shina doesn't pay the terriffs. 104 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 4: I voted for CRAMP, but I didn't vote to lose 105 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 4: my and I didn't vote for a global trade war, 106 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 4: and I didn't vote for Elon Musk run a muck. 107 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 4: Why are y'all going to admit that he has no 108 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: idea what he's doing? 109 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: Here in Australia we've had a sort of sea sawing 110 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: relationship with tariffs, just like the United States have. We've 111 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: had tariffs in one form or another ever since settlement. Really, 112 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: in fact, we had a military coup because of tariff's 113 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: in the early years of the New South Wales Colony. 114 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: The Rum rebellion was really about import restrictions and tariffs 115 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: on the trade in alcohol. Where do you think Australians 116 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: are at now in their understanding of, you know, whether 117 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: tariffs are a good or a bad thing. 118 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: I think it depends what part of the economy you 119 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 4: play in. So fundamentally, the national accounts are a huge 120 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 4: beneficiary of the iron ore trade. So we dig up 121 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: iron or we sell it and that's what funds fiscal 122 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: sped dig So that's cool. But you might feel a 123 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: little bit removed from that if you're not working in 124 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 4: the pilbro except that would be a mistake because we're 125 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: not that removed from it. At all. If global growth slows, 126 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: there's less demand for iron ore and things get fiscally 127 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 4: a lot more vulnerable. Just because you're not a five 128 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: FO worker or running an automated train or something, it 129 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: doesn't mean that you're removed from this. This is something 130 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: that will all feel. 131 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. So the government's ability to pay for things like 132 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: roads and schools and hospitals and discounts on your electricity bill, 133 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: that's linked to globalization in a way that some voters 134 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: might not understand. 135 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: We're so interconnected. 136 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely coming up. So should you buy that new car 137 00:08:46,520 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: now or hang on to your money? So looking ahead, 138 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is saying, everybody, stop panicking. I'm going to 139 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: go and play golf this weekend. It's going to be phenomenal. 140 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: Everything's going to be okay. Is there a way in 141 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: which this is going to be okay in which it 142 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: does settle itself out? 143 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 4: I think both of those things can be true. But 144 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 4: that doesn't rule out or minimize the fact that we 145 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 4: could have tremendous more pain ahead and buy more pain ahead. 146 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 4: I mean, the market could draw down a further ten percent, 147 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 4: and that would be a terrible thing. We also coming 148 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 4: into this position without the benefit of the company tax 149 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 4: cuts that the last Trump administration brought in at the 150 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,479 Speaker 4: market was hugely receptive to. So there's a lot more downside. 151 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 4: And the other element to that is the starting point. 152 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 4: The world was never richer, So the S and P 153 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: five hundred, you're and video shares, whatever it may be, 154 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 4: there is just so much more to lose from such 155 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 4: a rich starting point. Where market strategists, investors, hatch funds 156 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 4: were repeating themselves endlessly say there's no fundamental basis for 157 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 4: these valuations, and they were right. We can't say we 158 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 4: weren't warned because we did hear that information and we 159 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 4: didn't really act on it. 160 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: Have you been surprised by how much the market seemed 161 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: to have been surprised by this. 162 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 4: Yes. I think what it came down to was that 163 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: feeling on Friday, when after Liberation Day, everybody was unified 164 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 4: in saying, this is worse than we thought. It was 165 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 4: a gambit, it was a trade play, it was bringing 166 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 4: people to the table. It was none of that. It 167 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 4: was actually just really bad. 168 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: So there's a reassuring kind of idea that we could 169 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: tell ourselves that actually what Donald Trump really wants his 170 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: critical minerals and that this is the bargaining chip, This 171 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: is the start of the negotiating process to make sure 172 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: he gets the critical minerals that the United States needs 173 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: to make the chips that make everything go. Is that 174 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: a possibility. 175 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 4: It's a possibility, but it wouldn't offset the broader, more 176 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: debilitating wealth effect that's happening. It's not nothing, but it's 177 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: a very small thing in what could be a setback 178 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 4: for global growth that takes us so many years to 179 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 4: recover from. 180 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: Is there a possibility, there's no. Given that every Australian 181 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: has some money in superannuation, even if you're not actually 182 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: exposed to the stock market, you have a super balance. 183 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: Is there a possibility that will reduce inflation here in 184 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: Australia that make people more conservative, less likely to go 185 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: and spend. 186 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 4: There is a possibility. I think it's too early, genuinely 187 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 4: to know, and it's fundamentally more of a bad thing 188 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: than a good thing. Demand is everything. I think when 189 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 4: you don't have demand intact, everything else is a second thought. 190 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 4: And so that's why recession is such a loaded word, 191 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: because it destroys everything. 192 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Albanezi is basically saying stay calm, don't worry about it. 193 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: Peter Dutton is saying, well, this is actually a really 194 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: big concern. How do you think they are playing it? 195 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: How should they play it? 196 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: I'm so glad you asked this, Claire. I'll tell you 197 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 4: because this year we don't have eleven RBA meetings in 198 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: a year. We're on the new Progressive RBA schedule and 199 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 4: we're not going to hear from the RBA until after 200 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: the election, which feels like a really extraordinary thing, like 201 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: where's our central bank? We want to hear what they 202 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 4: think they can have such an influential role and voice 203 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 4: in this crisis and be neutral and a source of truth. 204 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: But there's no meeting, so I think people feel quite 205 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: a bit winded by that. So I'm really curious, just 206 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: as a student of the market, to see who will 207 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 4: be the voice that decides to carve out a position 208 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 4: of calm here. 209 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: Do you think there'sn't that we've lost the consensus about 210 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: free trade, that it's no longer widely accepted really even 211 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: by economists, that free trade is universally a good thing, 212 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: and that it's a rising tide that lifts all boats. 213 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think so Claar. I think that's a 214 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 4: really honest observation, and we're probably all a little bit 215 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 4: guilty of losing our trade literacy in all of this. 216 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 4: And there are from time to time you see really 217 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 4: interesting business case studies of a car maker or a 218 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 4: beverages company. It's carved out a beautiful little global niche 219 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 4: by arbitraging some weird tariff scheme or regime. Look, that's nice, 220 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 4: but nothing's better than global growth. We know what global 221 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 4: growth does. It advances everyone's a lot in life. And 222 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 4: this is a walk back from that. 223 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: If you were advising someone just asking for a friend 224 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: who was thinking about buying a car or maybe thinking 225 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: about getting a new phone, what would your advice be. 226 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 4: It's a great question. It's probably what everybody's thinking. And 227 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 4: just like the share market, which is a sea of 228 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 4: read today, there's no buyers. Why is there no buyers? 229 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 4: Because it could be five, ten, fifteen percent cheaper, So 230 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: hold on, Well, there may be a better deal in 231 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 4: it for you if you can just hang out a 232 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 4: little bit longer. 233 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: Vesnopoljak is The Australian's Business editor.
