Insights from one of the PM’s key economic advisers including turning point predictions!

On Monday afternoon I attended a very impressive presentation by Chris Joye of Coolabah Capital which left me feeling positive about the path forward. Chris is one of the key advisers to the Prime Minister.  He has also been making recommendations to the RBA about market failings well in advance of the ‘reality’ of the true impact of Covid-19 sinking in for the Australian government, society and other countries now in the thick of dealing with the pandemic.  Below I will share with you some of the insights gleaned including his response to three of my questions, his predictions, some of which came true overnight, and the paper he and his team released yesterday morning.
