That performance has to be one of the worst under Talay. How much longer does he get before the heat is on?

Unemployment below 4% should not mean interest rates cannot be cut. As @grogsgamut.bsky.social writes - we should celebrate the new normal of unemployment below 4%, and the RBA needs to stop trying to make it rise to 4.5% even while inflation is falling.

Who’d have thought that shoveling migrants into low-productivity service jobs while driving up house prices and squeezing discretionary incomes isn’t a sustainable way to run an economy? 😱

Crazy finish to the Chelsea / Man United match yesterday. “Cold” Palmer tied and then won it deep into added time…after some Chelsea fans had, perhaps understandably, already left. Always stay — there might be an end credits scene! [youtube.com]

Felt this before we got out last year. Cafe owners have tried to keep prices low but are being squeezed out by tight margins. 💸

Think $5.50 is too much for a flat white? Actually it’s too cheap, and our world-famous cafes are paying the price
