Mike Newman | Is Australia Self-Sabotaging?

Season 2 | Episode 33 — Mike Newman

This week on The JJ Podcast, we sit down with former NSW Senior Trade & Investment Commissioner Mike Newmanfor a no-holds-barred conversation about what’s really holding Australia back.

From trade deals that are raising eyebrows, to a public sector many say has grown beyond control, to an energy system struggling under red tape — this episode pulls apart the decisions shaping our economic future.

We unpack:

  • The EU Free Trade Agreement and why farmers aren’t celebrating
  • The growing influence of climate, social and political conditions in trade deals
  • Australia’s bloated bureaucracy — and whether it’s now a drag on productivity and growth
  • The explosion in public sector jobs and what it signals about the health of the private economy
  • Red tape choking investment in energy, mining and property
  • The housing shortage and why developers are walking away
  • Australia’s reputation as an investment destination — and why it may be slipping
  • And the global energy reality, with countries like China doubling down on coal, nuclear and energy security

This is a conversation about accountability, competitiveness and economic reality — and whether Australia is at risk of regulating itself into decline.

If you want to understand what’s happening behind the headlines — this episode is a must-listen.

🎧 Listen now to Season 2, Episode 33 of The JJ Podcast.
