I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

John Hewson: “There should be little doubt that Andrew Hastie is already running for the Liberal leadership.
While not directly challenging Sussan Ley, he has made several tightly crafted statements on key policy issues designed to differentiate himself from her and other leadership aspirants.”

Just before dinner time on Thursday, Jim Chalmers emerged from Labor’s economic reform extravaganza excited about both quality and quantity.

Almost everyone agrees that Australia needs more housing, and nowhere more so than in Sydney, which has struggled to escape its reputation as one of the most expensive cities in the world to find somewhere to live.
The New South Wales planning minister, Paul Scully, says the problem of housing supply has been ignored for far too long. Continue reading...
