With the surplus fetish now over, time to focus on what the budget can do for jobs, inequality and climate.

Piece from me on how we can shift to a real set of budget benchmarks

Dystopia getting you down? Life on Earth just a little bit Too Much? My new piece in @insidestorymag looks at the Utopian ideas that swirled around Federation in the late 19th C through the lens of my favourite ye olde sci fi book.

"We need urgent histories."

David Lowe & James Walter respond thoughtfully to the articles in the @AustHistAssoc's Urgent Histories forum and write a considered history for people other than historians, with an emphasis on economics and communication.
