Winners & losers in productivity showdown + Qantas fined $90m

from The Briefing · host LiSTNR

Tax reform and working from home are top of the agenda at this week’s Productivity roundtable in Canberra. But will the expensive get together just be a waste of time, or will Australia’s business, economic and union leaders show courage and enact much-needed reforms?  In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Crikey’s political editor Bernard Keane to unpack the agenda and find out the expected winners and losers.  Headlines: Qantas has been fined $90 million, tens of thousands of Israelis have protested in Tel Aviv and, a surfer has had a fortunate escape after a close encounter with a shark in Northern NSW.  Follow The Briefing: TikTok: @thebriefingpodInstagram: @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroom Facebook: @LiSTNR NewsroomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
