This week, Chanticleer columnist James Thomson and deputy editor of business Anthony Macdonald dissect what might prove to be the biggest news week of the year. They get into troubled Australian companies Canva and David Jones, they ask what’s broken with interest rates after yet another rate rise, and try to work out what Donald Trump’s shellacking means for us here in Australia.
