In June 2024, teachers and students of economics were invited to join textbook authors and economists Tim Dixon and John O’Mahony, as they provided an overview of key developments in the Australian and global Economies, and their relevance for NSW Year 12 Economics in 2024.

Now available to watch on-demand, the webinar can help students learn about how economies work through current practical examples and the latest statistics distilled into a format suitable for application in NSW Year 12 Economics.

The webinar includes live question and answer time and covers key economic updates relating to:
