Figured that. I only saw 2nd half. Not a great standard all around but extraordinary finish. Who would have picked Pietsch stepping inside Ardie Savea would be the turning point

You mean playing blind he's dropped the ball so often this half?

Given some of the dross that the IEA has released over the last 2 decades you might suspect they've been using AI for a lot longer than most orgs.

They are just awful. Had all the possession after going behind and did absolutely nothing. The only real chance was Pedro Porro shooting instead of passing, then he turned it over repeatedly in the attacking third. No talent on the pitch and a structure that's easy to defend

Right now I'm more concerned about Brentford. Put the ball in the net and then I'll worry about Bournemouth

I wound have thought any senior exec was either busy trying to stay out of jail or keeping the company afloat instead of writing rubbish like that

Or put another way, tariffs are a transfer from consumers to the cohort of selected insider labour.

And they're transparent in saying they're happy to never get to net zero despite successive govts making that commitment. They want to keep pumping carbon into the sky even with a much smaller economy and lower living standards.

Mac Harbour is far more complex than blaming salmon. Skate numbers fell after salmon stocking was significantly reduced. But that dinner also sounds very unprofessional

Agree. This whole thing is weird. Across the river makes sense with traffic congestion, but now a network with multi$m capex & stops 3km from the CBD and no congestion in between

NOM is irrelevant when you can't control one side of the equation. My reply had the ABS data but you want to lecture me with a data series starting in 1946 when the population was 8m and <3% were born outside Aus/UK/Ire? Maybe @shamilton.bsky.social was right about this site

garbage. +100k on pre-covid levels. How is that a cause of lower productivity? Immigration system is based around labour market needs. Dutton loosened policy as Minister but is talking about much lower target, Gov is blaming overseas students for housing & greens hate any form of growth

Harsh but fair. A big problem is that non-market employment is drawing on a finite workforce at the same time that all sides of politics are anti-immigration (even skilled workers) and anti-higher education, so there's not much growth in supply or productive potential.

Ever considered the counterfactuals of the state running all of those services. The rent seeking would be off the scale with all the opportunities for ministers and bureaucrats to allocate $ wherever they wanted with zero scrutiny & inevitably worse outcomes?
