It's quite wonderful when economic policies work.
In housing, the news is remarkably favourable

Fuel consumption keeps falling.
The oil price shock is less & less of an issue as this trend continues.
Use of EVs, decent public transport, better IC engine cars & the strong bias towards services in the economy are driving this great change

Logan St the play is very good.
Well written. Well acted. Topical and historical. Go and see it.

With apologies to Robert Solow:
"The gains in productivity from technology and AI are showing up everywhere but the data"

Which goes to the core of the impossibility of accurately measuring productivity in services based economies

It’s not that they don’t get their due but just feel like the Australian women’s cricket team need to be celebrated a lot more than they do in this country. Last night’s World Cup win was a reminder of how they’re one of the most dominant sporting teams across codes of all time

I am not sure people realise how trivially small the level of gross govt debt is, even as it hovers under $1 trillion.
There are $4.5 trillion in superannuation assets; $12 trillion in residential real estate; $3.5 trillion in the ASX. Annual GDP is $3 trillion.
I note that net govt debt is around $0.55 trillion - chook feed in other words

One of many interesting things about this scandal is that these KPMG ‘heavies’ are not all that bright, not all that smart. Out in public they’re like rabbits in the headlights. https://t.co/fPRJduybq9

How the fuck do we live in a country where everyone knows “monoculture” is just Nazi code for “white australia” but the media keep on refusing to call it out?

Red card for Pauline Hanson if she's cheering the Socceroos' victory over Turkey. The Xenophobe in Chief would deport half the team & defund SBS. #Socceroos #PaulineHanson #SBS

Australia’s housing obsession is one of its greatest weaknesses.

Rising house prices are not a sign of prosperity.

What they actually tell you is that more money is being borrowed from the banking sector to buy homes.

The cause of rising house prices is rising household debt, and that is unproductive.

House prices are now five times more expensive than consumer goods compared to 1970. We should never have allowed that to happen.

Housing should not be an asset.

It is not something you should profit out of. It is something you should live in.

The people who really benefit from rising house prices are real estate agents and property developers, not the families who live in them.

We are paupers living inside castles. Paying a fortune on the mortgage, a fortune on private schools, and out of the remainder, just trying to live.

So why has the average price of Unleaded Petrol dropped from a high of $2.57 March 31 2026 to an average price today of $1.75?
Must be that nasty communist ALP.

I want you to think about the last time you saw a famine story.

It was probably framed around drought, flood, or a failed harvest. A tragedy, yes, but usually one with a clear natural cause.

What is unfolding now does not fit that frame.

This is not weather. It is a political decision moving through a supply chain.

The Strait of Hormuz sits between that decision and the dinner tables of millions of people across South Asia, most of whom had no role in starting this war and no power to stop it.

The strange part is the mechanism. The fertilizer exists. The ships exist. The farmers are ready. What is missing is the will to let the cargo through.

That is a different kind of tragedy.

I have explained the scenario in the comments.

KPMG. Another of these shitheap, so-called ‘consultancy’ firms operating with the morals and ethics of the Capone gang.

One of the Popes. The others do not get publicity. For example Coptic Pope.

As an atheist, I never thought in a million years I’d be in furious agreement with and eagerly re-tweeting … the Pope.

How the fuck do we live in a country where Pauline Hanson has successfully convinced people to hate immigrants, feminism and climate action instead of fascism, media magnates and billionaires?
