Dimitri Burshtein | $1 Trillion in Debt. What Now?

Season 2 | Episode 30 — Dimitri Burshtein

This week on The JJ Podcast, we sit down with economist, strategist and policy analyst Dimitri Burshtein for a deep dive into the state of Australia’s economy.

For the first time in our history, government debt has pushed past $1 trillion. What does that actually mean — and who ultimately pays?


We unpack:

  • Employment figures — including claims that 8 in 10 new jobs are public sector or government-funded

  • Inflation, interest rates and rising mortgage repayments

  • Pressure on renters and the ongoing housing shortage

  • Australia’s per capita recession

  • Falling productivity and what that signals long term

  • The squeeze on small business

  • Whether the GST debate needs to be reopened

This is a serious, solutions-focused conversation about where the Australian economy is headed — and what needs to change if we want growth, opportunity and prosperity again.

If you’re feeling the cost-of-living crunch, this episode explains why.

🎧 Listen now — and join the conversation.
