@GrogsGamut According to the ABC it is Princess Charlotte’s bd. Why do we need to wake up to that?

On the right side of history. . .

@rgenoff @DeanRoyGreen Anchoring investment in manufacturing in Australia has been a losing battle for 3 decades. Sadly we have become an innovation nursery for OS plantations.

I studied economics and political science in college. These are some of the books I wish had been assigned. @MazzucatoM @JosephEStiglitz @rodrikdani @PikettyLeMonde @KateRaworth @RebeccaReCap

@graham_winter Clear, concise and compelling

@ArtisticPhilip Nice. I’m tuned into the Vendée Globe. Very close this quadrennial.

[Tim Mares @mares_tim]

@graham_winter Pity we can’t see the reverse angle as to see whether it was caught or pushed back in. If he’d held on to it it would have technically been a six. So by pushing it back it would have at worst been a four. But ‘out’, that’s a grey area.

It could so easily been far worse

I reckon people are being too hard on the SA authorities. What’s safe is to act decisively then if you get it wrong act equally decisively and ask for forgiveness. No prizes for a second wave.

@margiecaust Learning and Teaching are two responsibilities that are key to generating innovation.

@JohnSpoehr . . . and the stirling effort by SA to successfully suppress COVID-19. Suppression makes economic sense.

Beggars belief! So much of the long term, but essential policy grind is undertaken through coag processes

[Warwick Smith @RecoEco]

Strange, I thought there was more to government than jobs - or am I just being old-fashioned? Jobs are good and all but so is education, healthcare, mental health, the environment ...
