Seb here! An aspiring academic right now, soon applying to Masters programs. I'm interested in political economy, particularly with regulatory forms of governance and how these politics influence and impact what our governments can't, won't, and/or fail to do.

In a week when Coles, Woolworths, ComBank, Qantas & Ampol all reported huge profits, the ABS confirmed workers' real wages fell faster than any year in history. What gives??

It's called a 'profit-price spiral'.

Inflation would have stayed within or near the Reserve Bank target band if companies had not squeezed consumers through excessive price increases, our research shows. (1/2) #auspol

[Shahar Hameiri @ShaharHameiri]

So our inflation is due to a profit-price spiral: companies are able to increase prices to protect or even increase their profits, while wages are going nowhere. The problem is that dealing with inflation has been left to the RBA and it only has one tool! Where's government?!

My column today looks at the proposal to establish a sovereign wealth fund, and how it was seen as forthcoming since May: and what causes for concern it could raise. https://t.co/CWoKHGFYOV

🚨 Important #OpenAccess read! 🚨

B. Guy Peters and @JonPierre2's Research Note argues that both liberal and populist governments have politicised civil services.

However, populists tend to aim to undermine democratic rules and rights.

I still wonder why a President would need a former Chief Justice for the comparatively lowly position of Executive Secretary: what could an ex-CJ manage better for Chief Executive than any other lawyer? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Policy Forum @APPSPolicyForum]

Does the government have the political will to do more for Australians in need?

@JohnFalzon joins @BessellSharon & @cbr_heartdoc to discuss the federal budget - what it does, what it doesn’t do & what it signals about the future. #PolicyForumPod

Applying for visas is really a dehumanizing experience for the racial minority. Ofcourse, critics (and there are lots now against me) will say "she's so entitled!" If you're okay w/ still paying the price of colonialism, go ahead, but let me feel the rage of my weak passport.

Pssst… hot off the (electronic) press… our contribution to the contribution of presidentialism to democratic backsliding in east and Southeast Asia…

[Ruben Carranza @RCarranza_]

In his first 100 days, Marcos Jr. has spent more tax money on himself than all the taxes he has ever paid.

[Sonny Africa @sonnyafrica]

Pretty ugly that the family thought they deserved a lavish break, considering what most Filipinos are suffering right now.

But then also pretty Imeldific philosophy of governance “so that poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.”

[Sonny Africa @sonnyafrica]

Empty boasting.

Only reason is that a few rich folks like Marcoses at top of the heap of PH inequality are getting so much richer and dragging the average up..

... while the poor majority are left further behind.

18.8M Filipino families don't even have any savings as of Q2-22.
