FULL SHOW: Tariffs explained, racism on campus + mass psych walkouts


Listen Later

Trump is doubling down on his US election promises by imposing new tariffs in the next few days on China, Canada and Mexico. 

He's calling it a reaction to those countries allowing immigrants and fentanyl to flow into the US. 

So who do the tariffs actually impact?

And we hear a lot about international students at Australian unis, but it's rare to hear from them directly about what it's like studying here. Turns out, some of them are copping racist abuse. 

Plus, as hundreds of public psychiatrists weigh up whether to follow their colleagues by quitting their jobs, we unpack what's behind the ongoing dispute between mental health workers and the NSW government.  

Listen now:

01:21 - What is Trump proposing?

06:12 - How will the tariffs actually impact people?

13:46 - Racism at Aussie unis 

18:40 - Why psychiatrists are walking off the job 

Guest:

  • Dr Scott French, senior lecturer, School of Economics at UNSW
  • Dr Pramude Gunaratne, NSW chair, The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists
