| Summary |
Insight is Australia's leading forum discussion program. Every week, host Jenny Brockie guides a lively discussion on a single, relevant topic. Experts, business leaders and everyday Australians can have their say on issues in a frank and fair debate.This week Insight looks at the fall in consumer spending. Australians are holding onto their dollars - and shops are in trouble. Retail figures are at their lowest levels for fifty years. Stores are closing and the outlook isn't hopeful. Australian consumers could be spooked by the volatile sharemarkets. Or perhaps Australian stores are simply not up to scratch in terms of price, technology, and offering people what they really want. Insight asks whether the traditional retail store has had its day, what happens to the local economy if purses stay shut, and whether spending less is such a bad thing anyway |
