Oh great, with The Ashes just days away, our strike bowlers keep breaking down. With Pat out for the first test, now Josh Hazelwood is under a cloud
Between our quicks & theirs (Joffra Archer & Mark Wood) this series might come to be known as 'The Battle of the Dodgy Hammies & Suspect Shoulders'.

Truth
APRA's previous interventions requiring banks to restrict investor loans made a huge difference in 2014-18 & resulted in more loans for owner occupiers & saw some of the most stable house price growth in Australia over the past 30 yrs. We’ve done it before and we can do it again.

From Microsoft's recent filings and the hit it reported on its stake in OpenAI, it is fair to surmise that OpenAI lost around USD $12.5b in the last quarter. 🤷♂️

I'm sorry but the fact that the NSW Police Commissioner is under the pump re the NSN rally at the steps of their Parliament has much to do with the slogan on display.
Had it said 'Migrants out' or 'Australia for the white man', he wouldn't be being grilled by Sarah Ferguson right now.
