Our country has just received this year's first economics report card and the news is not good. The last time the Australian economy was this slow - outside of the pandemic - was the very early 1990s, when then treasurer Paul Keating famously announced that Australia had entered a recession.

Today, senior economics correspondent Shane Wright on what’s causing our economy to grind to a near halt. And whether this might soon lead to another interest rate hike.
