In today's episode of The Greater Good, CEDA Chief Economist Jarrod Ball is joined by Cindy Chen, a year 12 student from Wesley College studying economics, and Sonia Arakkal, Co-founder of Think Forward.

Australia's youth has been hit particularly hard by the pandemic, so it's vital to ensure that the voices of our future generations are heard and taken into consideration when making policy decisions. This episode covers the budget's approach to climate change, tax cuts missing the mark for young Australians, long term tax reform, Jobmaker and Jobseeker, and a sense of optimism despite the state of the economy.
