Australia: Stuck on the Launch Pad
Australia has world-class resources, skilled people and major strategic advantages. So why does it keep falling short of its potential? In the same week former prime minister Kevin Rudd labelled Australia "the Complacent Country," the Australia Inc. panel asks whether the nation is still worth backing.
Moderator Nick Osborne is joined by Gregory W. Robinson, Adrian Turner and Tony Davis. Tony makes his first Sell call of the season. Greg remains a Sell. Adrian moves to Buy, arguing Australia's assets still support a turnaround.
The panel examines stagnant generational incomes, executive churn, populism, migration policy, falling Sydney house prices and a construction sector short about 141,000 workers. They debate whether government keeps treating a housing supply problem with demand controls.
The conversation then turns to Australia's underused advantages. The country holds the world's second-largest copper reserves and has the geography, expertise and international partnerships required to build a serious space industry. The panel also revisits the Sydney Swans' response to controversy before delivering their final Buy, Sell or Hold verdicts.
If Australia were a company, would you invest?
