In our very first episode, we lay the foundations for what Jobs and Growth is all about. We kick off with numerology, Steve Jobs and Pixar before being joined by Patrick Irwin, the president of the Victorian Young Liberals. We discuss his personal journey from student politics to President of the Melbourne University Liberal Club and now the President of the Victorian Young Liberals.

From there, the conversation covers the power of superannuation funds, whether Australia's tax system is due for a rethink, and weigh the benefits of excise over an income tax. We break down elements that went wrong for the Liberal Party in the 2025 federal election, what the political landscape looks like heading into the next election, and how the party might win young voters.

We also weigh in on Australia’s housing crisis, the banking industry, and discuss Labor’s HECS debt policies. We ask how much a dozen eggs costs, and debate speed limits, e-scooters, and public transport in Victoria.
