Great catching up with @SBOblondal of #OECD on top down budgeting, anticipatory #budgeting, green and gender budgeting and other emerging roles of ministries of #finance.

@McKonGov Excellent piece. Active public asset management is necessary to plug revenue gaps, address the climate transition and for infrastructure services. Fiscal policy would be strengthened by considering both sides of the balance sheet, produced with regulated accounting standards.

@masonsixtencox @championdata You are elite, so take it. Every team that plays Collingwood when you are on the ground needs a ‘Cox plan’. That makes you special, and makes you very helpful to the rest of the forward line. Thank you for your commitment to Collingwood.

In the most vapid stakes for 2020 - its a tie. Amy Coney Barrett's Senate hearings and Emily in Paris, the new Netflix show. At least Emily has moments of entertaining relief.

Check out "As I Walked Out" by Van Morrison on Amazon Music. https://t.co/SC81RSZShF. I agree with Van - many did question this very strange move! In my case I am talking about him putting out this song!

@StephanieKelton good to be provoked and prodded about public debt and the special circumstances of currency issuers.

[Jim Brumby @Brumby78000]

Is this an idea whose time has come? Or does it symbolize a time when all ideas - good and bad - come? The timing is perfect! Certainly a debate to be had.

[Prof Jenny Hocking @palaceletters]

Serious questions about the Archives' claim to have 90 days to release Palace letters. “Archives was ordered by the high court to “reconsider” Hocking’s application. Under the archives act, reconsiderations must be done in 30 business days, not 90 #auspol https://t.co/JNeAUso1CF

[Jim Brumby @Brumby78000]

@palaceletters A great result. Enthusiasm and rage maintained!

Not Whitman...I did type Whitlam!

[Jim Brumby @Brumby78000]

Congratulations to Jenny Hocking for her legal win. It allows for release of the communication between the Palace and the GG around the Whitman dismissal. 45 years has been a long wait.
