Cut through the election-year noise with a rapid response briefing from independent economist Cameron Bagrie.



Fresh from the Treasury "lock-up," Cam bypasses the headlines to reveal the fiscal reality behind the numbers. With the Crown facing a $7.8B deficit, this session moves past the political spin to focus on the tough choices and commercial truths that will define the year ahead.

The Briefing:

• Spin vs. Substance: Are the numbers credible or just election-year sugar?
• Business Impact: What the fiscal roadmap means for investment and confidence.
• Workforce: Implications for hiring, wage pressure, and the labour market.
• Risks & Opportunities: Where to position your business for the next 12 months.
