They’re turning Wall Street offices into windowless studio Alexa-controlled apartments payable with bitcoins, or indentured labour & donated organs - haven’t you heard?

Indi is [was?] “orange”, not teal. Country independent is a different beast. Helen Haines has more in common with Tony Windsor, Rebekah Sharkie and Bob Katter. Kind of Tory with a welfare streak, populist, not wealthy 😀

Pocock won the ex-Liberal senate seat in the wealthy Australian Capital Territory, with a broad coalition of liberal/progressive voters. Much as I like Pocock his electorate shares common features with “teal” seats (educated, wealthier than most, investors)

TBF the “In Short” summary got to the point. Also I don’t mind reporting that presents the welcome to country as part of the dawn service ceremony - rather than separate to it. And that the RSL drew no distinction. The RSL has come a long way. If you boo the welcome, you boo the diggers!

I live a block away. There is nothing charming or villagey about that part of Carlisle Street. But the opponents of this development are very active - they had a booth set up at Saturday’s farmers market!

The Howard space, sure. But I reckon Menzies invested a lot more in public infrastructure and public services than Albanese ever has. Albo is too busy sustaining the Howard compact to increase public welfare for capitalists and petro-state

Anne Ruston just said the Libs need to restate their Menzian and Howard values and principles. Honestly, only wealthy boomers (and some older Gen Xers) remember them with any fondness…. They need new vision, not recycling the old shit

Yeah. The absence of “real world” policies designed for people other than wealthy boomers and big business probably doesn’t help the Libs either

So… I’m no economist or politician but why is the government so scared of a super profits tax (for banking, energy, resources, etc)?
Surely it’s time has come?
As a salaried tax payer I am so screwed by this status quo…

Since when has higher than expected business investment in a market economy been something that needs suppression via higher commercial credit costs?
I am just an administrative lawyer, don’t hit me!
