Mel and Tim discuss a key battleground ahead of the election, climate change action, with Graham Phelan, ESG Lead for Frontier Economics. Graham takes a look back at previous election results to predict whether climate change action and the recent natural disasters will influence the 2022 election outcome - and considers if it's time to put carbon pricing back on the agenda. Graham discusses the importance of ESG for Australia's international competitiveness and the proactive measures being taken by businesses and financial regulators to protect the economy and environment. Lastly, we touch on the issues impacting voters' hip pockets - inflation, interest rates, petrol and (of course) beer prices.
