Weekly Wrap: An economic round-up, recognising Palestine, and Taylor Swift’s Showgirl era

from News Club · host The Squiz

It's a big week for economic news - the Reserve Bank cut interest rates, and next week’s Economic Reform Roundtable has been a big talking point. Westpac CEO Anthony Miller also made waves with his unrelenting work schedule… Then we bundle up 2 big international stories - the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, and the response to Australia’s move to recognise Palestinian statehood. And Taylor Swift has new tunes coming in October - we get into how that was announced. In what's coming up, there’s an infrastructure conference to clock (no, really…) and an exciting air race across the outback.  Links Acquired’s podcast episode on Google - Claire’s recommendation Honestly podcast interview with Amanda Knox - Jodie’s recommendation ABC TV’s 7.30 interview with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee Taylor Swift’s podcast appearance on New Heights Want more News Club in your life?
