Topic 4's a bit lacking but just write plans on monetary, fiscal and micro with each policy objective and make sure you evaluate them.

I reckon they're going to be based on labour market policies, macro policies, full employment, inflation.

I don't think its going to be inflation.

Yea I reckon it will be something to do with the recent current account surplus and case study

and section 4 is defs going to be a policy and its effectiveness in addressing a specific economic issue

Keep in mind its going to be recent trends and Australia's inflation has been under that 2-3 CPI target and its most likely going to remain low for a while as we recover from the Covid wave 2 lockdowns.

I think inflation is possible but it would be worded like "recent trends in the inflation rate and consequences on the economy" (which i dont think there are many except for maybe poor wage growth). This wand labour market would be stimulus. They might throw another curveball like last year with limitations impacting eg and distribution of income

Limitations are great. If you analyse the policies throughly you'll find heaps.

Yea thats highly unlikely. It might be recent trends in unemployment and distribution instead and their impacts.

if they ask about the case study then i’m picking the other option by default
omg same

ill be so happy if it’s on unemployment
what I've been told by a senior marker (i think she was otherwise she was just a hsc marker) I used to see is that the topics they love testing are external stability and environmental cuz they're the easiest to differentiate people (mainly because you need to be up to date). she said anyone can write a good u/e essay but not everyone can do a good essay for those topics. but the thing is environmental has been tested 4 years in a row and external stability 2 years in a row so idk

otherwise ye u/e would be decent with everything happening at the moment
