2008 on a need-to-know basis 19 December 2008
What a year it's been. The financial crisis, Kevin 08, the Turnbull factor, surprise election results in WA and the Northern Territory, bailouts and handouts, not-so-tough targets and reams of reports on the future of everything from the car industry to maternity leave. But what does it all mean?
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd may well have hit the ground reviewing, but how have international events outside his control changed the name of the game?
For example, can we afford - and do we want - tough measures to cut Australia's greenhouse gas emissions with unemployment now on the rise?
And in the face of real problems with household indebtedness, how concerned should we be to hear the government urging us spend like there's no tomorrow?
The National Interest places the year's highs and lows under the analytical microscope of its year-ender panel. download audio

Three people join the National Interest to reflect on the year that was and to speculate on what surprises lie in store for us in 2008.
