• Macroeconomic goals and the AD/AS framework: aggregate demand components and their drivers, the three domestic goals, goal conflicts/relationships, and links to material and non-material living standards (with a contemporary 'consumer confidence slump' lens).
• Policy application U4: budgetary policy (automatic vs discretionary stabilisers, stance, outcomes) and monetary policy (cash rate transmission, stance, strengths/weaknesses), plus aggregate supply policies and trade liberalisation — evaluating effectiveness.
