Four banks. One policy. And a financial crisis that changed the world.

Australia’s “Four Pillars” policy was designed to keep our biggest banks apart, but did it also help make them stronger? In this episode, we head back to the 1990s, then across the Pacific to the US housing boom and the Global Financial Crisis, to find out what happens when banks get too big to fail.Why did the Australian banking system weather the GFC so differently from America’s? And when governments step in to protect the financial system, who exactly are they protecting?

From the Four Pillars to Wall Street, this is a story about banks, risk, competition, and the very big price of getting the balance wrong.

Australia has long been celebrated as the “Land of Opportunity”, a place where hard work, ambition and determination can lead to a better life. But how true is that promise today?

With rising housing costs, increasing living expenses, changing job markets and persistent inequalities, access to opportunity is not the same for everyone. R2BW explores whether Australia still delivers on its promise of opportunity, who benefits most from it, and what challenges are reshaping the Australian dream.

We made it to 100!

What better way to celebrate than by looking back at the choices, mistakes, missed opportunities and downright questionable decisions that got us here. For this milestone episode, we’re talking regrets — the big ones, the little ones, the ones we can laugh about now, and the ones that still make us wince. Along the way, there’s plenty of reflection, a few lessons learned, and no shortage of stories that probably should have stayed buried. Here’s to 100 episodes, the things we’d do differently… and the fact that we’d probably make some of the same mistakes all over again.
