Gas taxes, housing, AI, gambling ads. These are some of the big issues being debated in politics at the moment. And there is one man who finds himself in the centre of it all. In today's episode, we sit down with David Pocock, perhaps one of the most popular politicians here in Australia, to unpack it all. Welcome to Equity Mates, a show where we explore what's possible in the world of investing. If you've just joined us for the first time, a huge welcome to our community. My name is Bryce, and as always, I'm joined by my equity buddy, Ren.
What solutions are proposed for the housing crisis in Australia?
How are you going?
I'm very good, Bryce. Very excited for this episode. You say we explore what's possible in the world of investing, but I guess today we are exploring what is possible in the world of Australia.
Yes.
Just maybe not the world, just Australia. Just Australia. We are speaking to, as you said, one of the most popular politicians in Australia who's been prominent on a number of issues a lot of Australians care about.
What are the implications of gambling ads on Australian society?
Gas taxes, housing, AI regulation, gambling reform. And we're going to cover all of it. But Senator David Pocock had a life before politics as well.
He did. He was the captain of the Wallabies, playing 83 matches for Australia. He did have a sabbatical in... throughout his career, which we'll get to in there.
How is AI expected to impact jobs in Australia?
But yes, he's well known. And as we said in the intro, he's really found a voice for a lot of Australians.
Now, there is one topic, one quibble I have to have before we get into it. You said the most popular politician in Australia. Yeah. I've gone to the authoritative metric on popularity.
What gives David Pocock hope for the future of Australia?
Okay. Want to guess what it is?
Instagram.
Instagram followers. We're on the same wavelength. I've actually asked Claude to give me a ranking of the most popular Australian politicians.
Okay, good.
David Pocock is the second most popular. Do you want to have a guess at who's the most popular?
Oh, it'd have to be current PM. Yeah. Or maybe Turnbull.
No, no, you should have backed your first. Albo, about 650,000. David Pocock, 620,000. Not far off. Pauline Hanson, 335,000. Penny Wong, Adam Bandt, rounding out the top five.
Wow.
Anyway, a bit of useless trivia for you.
I would recommend following Pocock's. Yeah.
Good gear. What about the other ones?
Take it or leave it.
All right, well, this intro is quickly descending. Before we get into the conversation, a reminder to put the 24th of October in your calendar. FinFest is back.
That's right. The market's closed. The bar is open. Come and trade ideas at Australia's largest finance festival, where we're going to show you that finance doesn't have to be boring.
You're going to hear from some of the best speakers in the country and have a great time doing it.
