Australians debate whether a real recession is looming
Original: recession
Discussion is growing in Australia over whether the country is heading into a genuine recession, with financial news outlets asking if an economic downturn is real rather than technical. ABC's 7.30 program is also covering the economic picture, keeping the topic in front of a broad national audience as households weigh cost-of-living pressures and growth figures.
Why now: Concerns about slowing growth and cost-of-living pressures have put the possibility of an Australian recession back in the news.
