Tradie gently collects ittle turtle who'd been contemplating playing chicken.

The Greens, @TheAusInstitute, @AlanKohler, @SaulEslake and many others have argued that tax concessions have had large effects on housing prices.

Good news! The NSW Upper House has just passed a bill to lift the ban on uranium mining in NSW. This is a historic day.
The bill now goes to the Lower House which means we need Premier Minns to speak to his mate, the South Australian Peter Malinauskas ... and the SA premier will tell him how great uranium mining has been SA for decades.
