Allegra Spenders proposal puts a spotlight on just how starved Australia is of independent sources of policy thinking untainted by vested interests. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/12/a...
Australia's tax system is unfair to young people — and Spender's plan proves we desperately need independent policy
Independent MP Allegra Spender has done more to provide an independent examination of the need for tax reform than anything the government has done in four years.

Where are all the strong sensible candidates for the upcoming SA state election? It seems there are plenty of fringe right wing parties plus the traditional big 2. But that’s it. Where are the candidates who promise taxing the super rich, to fix wealth inequality and look after the middle class?

One Nation, Liberals, Labor, they are all the same. They refuse to take on corporate power, refuse to invest in public housing and essential public goods, then play politics with immigration to divide and distract us.

AOC nails it. Showing a greater understanding of economics than most economists
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

CSIRO funding falling short by ‘at least’ $1 billion
Internal correspondence and Senate submissions show the CSIRO is running out of money and may lose its position as a leading research agency.
