Back to EpisodesWhat the latest RBA rate rise means for the Australian dream
Description
The Albanese Government wants to help more first home owners get into the market, but the fourth rate rise from the RBA this year just made that more difficult. Dr James Graham, Assistant Professor in the School of Economics at the University of Sydney and a former economist with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand explains why there's a perfect storm of factors at play working against the government's objective. As the ABC's Foreign Correspondent program trails the fight to track down missing Ukrainian children, abducted during the war, Nathaniel Raymond, Executive Director of the Humanitarian Research Lab at the Yale School of Public Health, details the efforts of trying to find tens of thousands of children before they're indoctrinated and conscripted into fighting against their homeland. And it's arguably never been a bleaker time to be a humanitarian worker. James Elder is the Global Spokesperson for UNICEF - the United Nations Children's Fund on what still gives him hope despite several major conflicts and diminishing aid funding.
