Warren Duffy

Warren Duffy is an Australian economic journalist known for clear reporting on interest rates, labour markets, and the real economy behind policy headlines. He began his career at a regional masthead in Queensland, then moved to national coverage where he focused on Treasury budgets, household finance, and business investment trends. Over the past decade he has written for major digital newsrooms, delivering explainers that connect official data releases to impacts on mortgages, wages, and cost of living. His work has covered major themes including energy transition funding, productivity performance, and fiscal policy trade-offs during periods of economic uncertainty. Warren regularly moderates newsroom briefings with economists and publishes data-led summaries ahead of key releases such as CPI and jobs figures. Colleagues describe his approach as practical, with an emphasis on accuracy, context, and reader-friendly analysis.
