Before we get going, here's a bit where I remind you that nothing you discussed should

money into these crazy markets.

We're about to listen to a special preview edition of the Grand Williams Podcast. The subject

to hand is Australia, its banks, its politics, its relationship with China, and above all its

property market. When we recorded this edition, there was an election looming and pressure was

mounting on the RBA to raise rates, and we wondered what the future held in store for

have ousted the incumbent levels in a shock vote, and everything is more uncertain than

ever before. Every episode of the Grand Williams Podcast, including the end game, Super

Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, this week in Doom, and the new series Shifts

Happen, is available to copper and silver tier subscribers at my website, grant-volumes.com.

Copper tier subscribers get access to all the podcasts, while members of the silver tier

get both the podcasts, and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go. So, if you enjoy

what you're here on the show, and you want more high quality content like it, then please

make your way over to grant-volumes.com, and join our exciting community today. And now,

on with the show.
