It's day ten of the hearing. The state's 13 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: corruption watchdog is investigating if Bera Jicklin breached public trust 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: during her relationship with former Wogga Wogga MP Darryl McGuire, 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 2: who appeared at the inquiry yesterday. We learned yesterday Bara 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 2: Jicklian told maguire she would quote throw money at Wogga. 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: Yesterday the federal government introduced a new piece of legislation 18 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: and this is about voter ID laws. The government says 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: that the proposed law will improve public confidence about the 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: integrity of voting practices and reduce the risk of voter impersonation. 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: Labour and the Greens have indicated very strongly in fact, 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: that they will vote against this proposed legislation. 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: Australia Post has revealed the deadlines Australians should meet if 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: they want their parcels to be delivered before Christmas. All 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: parcels sent via regular Post must be sent by the 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: thirteenth of December, which is my birthday, and parcels sent 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: via Express Posts can be sent a week after my 28 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: birthday on the twentieth of December. 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: The good news for our Victorian listeners out there is 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: that restrictions are set to ease from tonight, so from 31 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: six pm masks will no longer be mandatory outdoors, non 32 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: essential retail and gyms will reopen, and travel between Melbourne 33 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: and Regional Victoria will resume. 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: I've got Maddie and Sophie here from Your and Good Company. 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: They're joining us every second Friday to talk all things 36 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: financed guys. Interestingly, your podcasts have done the best of 37 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: daily oz podcasts, which is pretty interesting. 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: Ah, that's so nice. 39 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: People are obviously really resonating with how you're talking about 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: in the news, Maddie. We've seen a lot about inflation 41 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: in the news this week. Why is it hitting the headlines. 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, so, inflation's in the news because the ABS data 43 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: that was released this week showed that the inflation rate, 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: or the average price of goods and services has risen, 45 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: meaning that prices in Australia are around three percent higher 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: than this time last year. So to set the scene 47 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: a little bit, the government has a target inflation band 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 3: of around two to three percent and they say this 49 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 3: is kind of like the ideal level over time to 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: support the Reserves Bank's goal of price stability and full 51 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: employment in the Australian economy. You might have heard people 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: talking about how interest rates have been so low in 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: Australia recently, and that is because keeping indust rates low 54 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: is one way to stimulate the economy and encourage spending, 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: which in turn leads to a rise in inflation or 56 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: an increase in prices of goods and services, which we 57 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 3: are seeing now. 58 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: And so to slow all of that down a little bit. 59 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: The ABS, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, they're the ones 60 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: who measure the inflation. Are they looking at things like 61 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: a bottle of milk, and whether a bottle of milk 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: is going up or are they looking at bigger things 63 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: like a house. 64 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: It's the average price of goods and services. So I 65 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: guess like the easiest way to think about it really 66 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: is your supermarket, but it can be a whole range 67 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: of things. 68 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: And is that where you think we as young people 69 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: would be feeling the inflation is somewhere like a supermarket? 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 4: Yes, So the CEO of Woolworth's has just actually come 71 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 4: out and spoken about inflation, saying that we're likely to 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: see the prices of our groceries rise over the next 73 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: three to six months and this is tailored off both 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 4: inflation rising but also the supply chain issues that we're 75 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: seeing the moment. So he said that will probably be 76 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: all set for Christmas, but post that period we might 77 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: set to see the rise and the impact on our groceries. 78 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: And we've talked a little bit about the supply chain 79 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: issues on the podcast and it sounds like the inflation 80 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: issues are hitting things like fuel and that type of 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: thing really makes a difference to how much disposable income, 82 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: especially young people have them in A tank of fuel 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: cost me eighty dollars the other day, and it was 84 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 2: a bit of a shock. 85 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: I was going to say, if you drive a car, 86 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 3: chances are you've already felt the van on this one, 87 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: because fuel prices have jumped seven point one percent in 88 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: the last quarter alone, so that one definitely hurts overseas. 89 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: And we had a new valuation on Tesla. How many 90 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: zeros do we have to think about with Elon Musk's company. 91 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: Now, don't ask me how many zeros because I have 92 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: no idea what one trillion is. But Tesla has surpassed 93 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 4: the one trillion dollar valuation mark when it's stock price 94 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 4: hit over one thousand dollars us D over the past week, 95 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 4: So that stock price really rose because they announced a 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: contract with Hurtz, the car rental company, saying that they're 97 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 4: going to be selling them one hundred thousand vehicles, So 98 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: it looks like they're becoming a little bit more accepted 99 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 4: in the market. 100 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: One trillion is a lot of money, and Tesla often 101 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: is highlighted for its hype and the way that it 102 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: does amazing branding. And I mean, whenever Elon must tweets anything, 103 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: it goes crazy. Is this a fair valuation or is 104 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: this also a bit of Tesla hype. 105 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: I think it really depends on how you view the company. 106 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: If you think of it as an auto company, then 107 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: the valuation really doesn't make a lot of sense because 108 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: Tesla only produces around five hundred thousand cars a year, 109 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 3: which is less than one percent of global car sales, 110 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: and they're now valued at seven times Volkswagen who owns Audi, 111 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: Porsche Lamborghini. But I guess if you think of Tesla 112 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 3: as more of a tech company that happens to make cars, 113 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: then the valuation starts to make a bit more. So. 114 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 3: Tesla is miles ahead part of the fun in terms 115 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: of the electric vehicle technology that they produce and use, 116 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 3: so they have a great revenue model for sustainable self driving, 117 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: and they also have the potential to earn money in 118 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: a way that no other automaker has been able to 119 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: do before. 120 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: And what else is on your minds both of you 121 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: for the week ahead? What finance stories are you guys 122 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: looking at. 123 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 4: It's currently reporting season in the US. Companies are posting 124 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 4: their Q three profits, So something that I'm going to 125 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 4: be watching is just some of the big companies I know, 126 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 4: Google came out with their profits the other day, and 127 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 4: I just want to be looking at how companies are 128 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: reacting to COVID lockdowns, how they're coming out of COVID lockdowns, 129 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 4: and just really seeing the general trend of the stock 130 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: market coming up to Christmas. 131 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 3: And I've got my eye on Crown this week. Their 132 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: share pass jumped almost ten percent on the news that 133 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: they all be allowed to keep its casino license, which 134 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: I thought was kind of confusing given the report said 135 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: that Crown was found unsuitable to hold a license. But 136 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: I think I've been given two years to sort of 137 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: clean up the act under new management, so I'll be 138 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: keeping close eye on that one. 139 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: Lots of billions and trillions of dollars flying around, whether 140 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: it be from Tesla, from our pockets when we're paying 141 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: for fuel, or from dodgy casinos. Sophie and Maddie, thank 142 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: you so much, have a wonderful weekend, and we'll speak 143 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: to you really soon. 144 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: Thanks. 145 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 4: Happy Friday.
