    How Australia can expand carbon pricing

    Australia will fail to hit its climate change target of net zero by 2050 unless it imposes a constraint on emissions from the electricity sector. In this podcast, our energy and climate change policy experts Alison Reeve and Tony Wood talk about the thing Australia’s political leaders still refuse to talk about: carbon pricing. Alison and Tony also discuss the modelling for their new Grattan report, which which shows that governments can act to cut electricity emissions without hurting Australians in the hip pocket.

    Why superannuation tax breaks need to be cut

  8. How to improve Australians' access to specialist care

    How to improve Australians' access to specialist care

    No one looks forward to seeing a specialist—whether it’s a cardiologist, paediatrician, or psychiatrist. A referral often signals your GP is concerned about a serious health problem: a suspicious lump, a complex condition, or a health issue that needs specialised attention. For many Australians, it can be a worrying time. And those worries only get worse when faced with high specialist fees and long wait times. In this episode, Senior Associate Elizabeth Baldwin is joined by co-authors Peter Breadon and Dominic Jones to unpack the findings of Grattan Institute’s latest report, Special treatment: Improving Australians' access to specialist care. Together, they explore why specialist care is so hard to access—and what can be done to fix it.
