More than a few people have been highlighting the risks incumbent in Private Credit over the past year or two. Insiders will certainly have been aware. Yet hubris has seen some ignore the signals. Thus, sympathy for 'rich-listers' ought to be tempered accordingly.

The private credit cockroaches eating our rich-listers
Some of Australia’s rich-listers are getting burnt as private creditors get roasted by the failures of publicans and property developers. But that won’t be where the pain stops.

#auspol Let's be honest. If the only way to achieve structural reform is to break an election promise, so be it. It was not the first time, and will not be the last. It is not as if they are blatantly looting the treasury or enriching themselves through insider trading 🤔 #USA

Your browsing history could soon set your grocery bill — and Canada isn’t ready for it
Canada has no law that directly prohibits retailers from using your personal data to decide what you pay. Manitoba wants to change that. The federal government, for now, does not.

Killing a civilisation is a war crime. Threatening it is obscene. No country that does this is a worthy ally or friend of Australia. The world needs to respond with action to prevent these crimes.

What if the leader of the United States, who is in effective control of Australia's defence and foreign policy, is clearly unhinged? Would that make the War Parties here rethink their obsequious obedience to Washington? Because that's the state of play, as this latest Trumpian outburst proves.
