This budget has landed very poorly and it's a big hole they need to dig themselves out of.

Yeah, sure is.

All right, Anthony, a massive week.

I've really enjoyed our debate today about AI.

I think it's such a fascinating topic and, you know, we're lucky to be right in the middle of it and the AI Summit was a great example of that.

So thanks for another big week.

Thanks for listening, everybody.

Have a great long weekend and we'll see you next week.

Hello, I'm James Thompson, Senior Chanticleer Columnist at the AFR.

Welcome to our weekly news breakdown of all things business, finance and markets.

With me today, as always, he's more valuable than a ton of rare earths.

It's my Chanticleer colleague, Anthony McDonald.
