About Me & Burnout Economics
Burnout Economics is the home of data-driven economic analysis by Australian economics writer and analyst Tarric Brooker.
Who am I?
Tarric Brooker is an economics writer, journalist and analyst based in Australia, and a regular contributor to Macrobusiness.com.au, Yahoo Finance, and News.com.au — three of Australia’s most widely read platforms for economic and financial news.
He publishes in-depth analysis at Burnout Economics and produces video content on YouTube, covering Australian housing markets, fiscal policy, cost of living, and the structural forces reshaping the economy.
He also runs the @AvidCommentator account on X (formerly Twitter), where he shares charts, data, and commentary with an audience of over 40,000 followers.
His work sits at the intersection of rigorous data analysis and accessible journalism — drawing from primary sources like the ABS, RBA, ATO, and Treasury to tell the story behind the headline numbers.
What you’ll find here
Australian housing market analysis — supply, demand, vacancy rates, prices, and the policy settings driving them
Fiscal and budget policy — breaking down federal budgets, tax changes, and their real-world effects
Cost of living and household finances — how economic conditions are actually playing out for Australian families
Macroeconomic commentary — Geopolitics, commodities and all manner of other developments driving global economic cycles.
Content ranges from quick data-driven takes to long-form deep dives, with original charts and analysis you won’t find aggregated elsewhere.
