As investors, we have a particular interest in Australia’s condition, its desirability as a destination for living and its quality as a destination for investing. For some time now, I have feared better destinations exist elsewhere. Whether deliberate or unwitting, the government is not prioritising the betterment of the nation. continue…

I joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle Mornings to discuss the banking sector, where ANZ is reportedly set to cut 10 per cent of its workforce, with similar moves from NAB, CBA and Westpac. These cuts reflect the impact of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs and wages, even as younger generations turn to online and AI-driven businesses. The challenge for banks is finding savings without hurting service or limiting future growth, especially as many customers still rely on branches.

I joined Ausbiz with Clint Maddock, Founder and Director at Digital Asset Funds Management – our newest partner, an Australian investment manager specialising in digital asset markets – to discuss the growing role of digital assets like Bitcoin in investment portfolios. Once considered purely speculative, digital assets are now increasingly recognised as a legitimate component of diversification, sitting alongside equities, bonds, and property. We explored why they’re moving into the mainstream, the opportunities they present, and how investors can approach the space with a balanced view on both strategy and risk.

This week on ABC Statewide Drive with Jess Maguire, I explored the risks of stagflation and rising debt. While markets may look strong on the surface, the reality is more complex. Stagflation – when economic growth slows or stalls while prices continue to rise ­– creates a challenging environment for investors. We’re beginning to see signs of a slowing economy alongside persistent inflation, and that combination is far from ideal. So, what does this mean for share prices, and how should investors think about adapting their portfolios?

I joined Juliette Saly from Ausbiz to discuss America’s growing debt crisis and the looming risk of stagflation – the mix of slowing growth and stubborn inflation. We explored why rising borrowing costs, political pressure on the Federal Reserve, and stretched equity valuations are fuelling concerns, and what this means for investors navigating fragile markets. We also looked at the drivers behind the recent gold price surge.

In my article for Firstlinks, I explore whether a new brand of capitalism is emerging – one where governments take equity stakes in key industries to fund public services. Drawing on recent moves by the U.S. under Trump, I ask if Australia should consider a similar model to turn our resource wealth into broader social good, rather than relying solely on higher taxes or immigration.

When it comes to investing, I’ve always believed the most important thing is managing risk. Over the years I’ve learnt a lot about how to build wealth steadily, and those lessons are just as relevant for people in their 30s as they are for those approaching retirement. In this bonus episode of The Money Puzzle, I sit down with The Australian’s Wealth Editor, Julie-anne Sprague, to share how I developed my approach to investing and what it can mean for your financial journey.

I joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle Mornings to talk about digital asset funds – what they are, how investors can gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without directly buying or managing them, and whether the asset class is becoming more mainstream. We explored real-world cases that show why blockchain makes sense, as a digital version of cash that enables frictionless payments while bypassing banks to help preserve wealth. With regulation on the way, the space is becoming more comfortable for investors. Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere, but the real question is what’s driving its price higher. I also touched on funds that profit from bitcoin regardless of price direction by arbitraging futures contracts. You can listen to the full interview here: ABC Newcastle Mornings – Is cryptocurrency becoming more mainstream?
