I have upgraded to a Moonshot mate from Moonshot mascot, thank you all for the write in votes 🗳️
To calibrate you all on which reasoning effort to use for Astra, know that GPT-6 Astra on low performs better than GPT-5.6 Sol on high.
If you were using high reasoning efforts with Sol and were happy, I suggest you move down to low or medium for Astra.
One Nation’s super policy seems like a complicated way to fuel inflation when cooling it should be the priority.
Instead of injecting cash now, I'd actually like to see the RBA given the power to temporarily raise super contributions when inflation runs hot.
This reduces spending in the moment but saves it for the worker's future, rather than handing it to banks via higher mortgage rates.
Real cost of living relief comes from productivity growth and low inflation - hardship access has a place, but this broad policy isn't that.
This is a great clip highlighting how the financial freedom of Australians has evaporated over the last 4 years. As Alan quite rightly says “they’re not happy”
CLARITY AROUND IMMIGRATION MATTERS
This week we have seen all three major parties struggle to clarify their immigration policies.
Yesterday the Labor Party backed down on the number of refugees they are taking, the Liberal Party has no number at all and One Nation have changed their 130,000 number from net to gross meaning their immigration number is not much lower than the Uniparty.
People First has the most clear and concise policies of all political parties.
You can see our immigration policy at this link:

As you can see, not only will we reduce immigration numbers by the most, we will also install better systems to track and limit immigration.
This is what sets People First apart from the others. We offer a systemic rational approach rather than an emotional incoherent approach to lowering immigration.
Key points of our policy are:
• cap permanent visas to 100,000
• cap student visas to 300,000 by increasing student visa fees to at least $20,000 to fund apprenticeships for Australians. This should reduce temporary visas by close to 500,000.
•decrease bridging visas numbers by almost 400,000 to almost zero by tracking all visas by sponsor, tax file number and expiry date. Sponsors who allow their visa holders to overstay will be fined.
•abolish the Indian migration and mobility treaty as the agreement is asymmetrical given India’s population and standard holders
• expel visa holders with a criminal record.
• limit government entitlements
We believe these policies will reduce immigration for four to five years before overall immigration will flatten out to no more than 100,000.

Whereas other parties will tell you what you want to hear, we will actually deliver on our solutions.
@AlboMP I'm reminded of all the whining investors saying they would move assets off shore and wouldn't invest in new homes blah blah... Actions speak louder than words.
@AntonyGreenElec
I need to wrap my head around the fact Labor got 32% of the vote and won 94 seats
Nobody can explain it, not even the AEC
We've been hoodwinked into thinking voters actually have a say. We don't. This is evident.
Keep making sure capitalism leaves young people broke & unable to buy a house, while 92% of them skip doctors visits because of money & then pretend you don’t understand why young people are open to “socialism”.
The cure for people liking socialism is an economy that works for them not just Wall St. & Oligarchs.
@RennickGBR More money into the housing crisis will just inflate house prices further. It's just funny money at this stage. House prices need to come down to 3x annual income.
You’re wrong - super has always been a part of waves - Keating said so himself -
“In other words, had employers not paid nine percentage points of wages as superannuation contributions to employee superannuation accounts, they would have paid it in cash as wages.”

18 months ago, Karpathy coined “vibe coding.”
A lot of engineers, including me, laughed: “Vibe coders are NGMI.”
Then we started copy-pasting code into ChatGPT.
Then Claude Claude.
Then 10 parallel coding agents.
Hand-writing code now feels like being a psychopath.
That was a weirdly fast 18 months.
