One software glitch, millions offline, and a nation left standing still. 

Yesterday, Australia’s largest telco network suffered a massive nationwide failure, paralyzing transport, blocking payment systems, and—most worryingly—disrupting Triple Zero emergency access for thousands. But while the connection has returned, the "big picture" feels just as fragile.

Brent sits down with Chief Economist Adam Creighton to dissect why our critical infrastructure is failing us and what’s really happening behind the scenes of our economy. 


The Fragility of "Now": How a single timekeeping node failure managed to bring the entire country to its knees.


The Path Forward: Does our economy need a fundamental overhaul to stop the stagnation, or are we just caught in a global storm we can't control?

Whether you were stranded on a train yesterday or are just feeling the pinch at the checkout, this is the reality check you need on the state of our nation.
