What Does Post COVID Australia Look Like?
Was COVID a pandemic that changed Australian lives forever?
Our expert guest believes it has.
Bernard Salt AM is Australia’s leading social commentator who draws upon demographic, economic and social statistics to help us understand where Australian society is headed. Bernard is a columnist for The Australian newspaper, author of 6 best selling books on generational change and famous for describing millennials difficulty in saving for house deposits through his Smashed Avocado Effect.
Bernard with Burgernomics host, Ross MacDowell describes in detail how post COVID Australia has changed permanently for employees, business owners and families.
Some of the topics covered are,
The Australian experience of recovering from adversity. World wars, bushfires every summer and economic downturns, Australians always bounce back.
How COVID has changed the way we work and the role of the Central Business District. Working from home is here to stay.
Frictionless commerce, the ‘appification’ of Australia… out with call centres in with apps.
Why we should have faith in the future of Australia. As a country we are young, open, resourceful, free and a preferred destination for many.
What new skills are required after recovering from COVID.
The $230bn sitting in home bank accounts just waiting to be spent. Will this cause inflation, interest rate rises and then we stop spending because our mortgages cost too much?
At home, out with the pool room, in with the Zoom room, which now becomes the show piece room in our homes.
Bernard Salt eloquently describes The Burgernomics Effect in terms of our COVID developed need for automation, frictionless commerce and businesses desire to save on labor costs.
