Welcome to the On the Money Podcast, your weekly run down on all things financial. On the show this week: an International Women’s Day special, celebrating women in politics.

What is the political environment like for women in politics today? What are the key issues that spark the proverbial flame, the need to enter the political sphere, and do any of these issues persist today?

We welcome the Hon. Penny Sharpe – Deputy Leader of the NSW Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Environment & Heritage and Shadow Minister for Trade. Joining the Hon. Penny Sharpe is Councillor Angela Vithoulkas, Leader of the NSW Small Business Party.

Together with panel host Tania Katsanis, these sharp and inspirational women discuss their experiences and challenges, what motivates them, and the impact of social media. And, of course, we touch on the red hot political issues being taken to the State election this year.

On the show this week: what does it take to future-proof the economy?

With less than a week to go until the NSW State Election, the NSW Parliamentary Budget Office has released a report into spending estimates for both Liberal and Labor Parties. After the housing boom, what does NSW need to do to future-proof the economy? What do we consider an investment, and what is a loss for the Budget’s bottom line? Max Tilman speaks with Dr Gareth Bryant, Lecturer of Political Economy at the University of Sydney to interrogate these issues.

The Centre for Future Work has raised the issue of low wages this week. The Open Letter was published online, and signed by 124 experts in labour markets, law and employment relations. The signatories advocate for immediate government intervention to raise the minimum wage, as real purchasing power declines relative to the cost of living. Daniel Elison is joined by Allison Pennington from the Centre for Future Work, an Australia Institute initiative,

Also on the show: Our Twitter-famous story! The Australian Bureau of Statistics released new data showing unemployment rates drop to below 5% for the first time in eight years. However, the number of people in full-time employment has also dropped for the third time in four months.

The Federal Budget Breakdown

Welcome to the On the Money Podcast, your weekly run down on all things financial. On the show this week: what is happening with the IOOF?

The financial advice company IOOF is in hot water after APRA’s action wipes over $900 million off the share market, and with their Managing Director and Chairman facing court over claims of mismanagement. These annoucements could not have come at a worse time as the company is planning to purchase ANZ’s superannuation business, OnePath Super, later this year. The two Directors have since been removed, and the new CEO, Alan Griffith, is asking the public to trust them once more. All indications are that the deal will still go ahead – but should it? Daniel Elison discusses the latest developments with Jerry Parwada, Professor of Finance at UNSW and AGSM Fellow.

On The Money premiers their brand new segment – Hot Off The Press – wherein our producers give you the lowdown on all the hottest finance, business and economics events and new media. The segment launch features an interview with Dominic Kelly, author of Political Troglodytes and Economic Lunatics, who sits down with producer Veronika Aleshina to discuss the history of Australia’s industrial relations, and the evolution of the Hard Right, neo-liberal attitudes we are witnessing play out within our economy today.

Also on the show: how do we improve accessibility to peer-reviewed academic articles? Guest producer Michael Lester from Northern Beaches FM speaks with Professor Virginia Barber from the Queensland University of Technology interrogate the peer-review publication business model.
