There's been a lot of noise around the unemployment figure of 4 percent, but that's not the only figure we should be concerned about with youth unemployment currently at 9.3 percent. How this figure can be improved is explained by Eliza Littleton, research economist at The Australian Institute and co-author of the report Youth unemployment and the pandemic . In the 2019 federal election, political parties collectively spent $433 million. We won't know the figure for this election until next February and even then, we won't know where some of this money came from. Kate Griffiths,deputy director of the Grattan Institute's budgets and government program discusses why greater transparency is needed. And as the destruction of Ukraine continues from Russian forces, estimates of the cost of reconstruction has already began. Christian Odendahl, European economics editor at The Economist explains where the money will come from and the reforms required to rebuild Ukraine.
