NSW has long held the mantle of being in the top four Australian economies. Now after a terrible fire season and drought impacting many regional areas, followed by the economic devastation of COVID-19, the State is facing its biggest economic challenge yet.

With Federal and State governments pulling out all efforts to open up key sectors, accelerate infrastructure projects and manage borders, many have been prophesizing, predicting, and pushing for measures to drive economic growth.

As we reflect on the recent Federal budget and lead into the NSW State budget, listen to this episode for a discussion and debate from three leading economists on what, where and how we should spend our way out of the recession and return NSW to its rightful place on the mantle.
