Everyone wants to live within a walkable distance to a place like this, with a bakery, a butcher, a tailor, a bookstore, a barber, a cafe and various other businesses within walking distance. A farmer's market every weekend. Safe and free of criminals. Church bells. Schoolhouse. Trustworthy neighbours. A mayor who is a good person and wears a top hat. Is this too much to ask for?
The state Government thinks it’s a good idea to mandate that employees can wfh 2 days a week.
Leave aside the impact on productivity after our worst decade of productivity growth in 60 years and leave aside how unfair this is for employees who can’t wfh, when did we become a society that is obsessed with mandating just about every activity. It is time for people to tell Govt they are sick and tired of them interfering in everything and depriving people of agency.
I am constantly meeting people who are actively seeking ways to leave Australia.

Europe chose security over growth.
America chose innovation over regulation.
The results?
America has produced 9 trillion-dollar companies (9/10 of the most valuable companies in the world).
Europe? ZERO. Nowhere to be found:
