A nice Treasury chart that shows who benefits from the largest tax concessions in Australia by income quintiles from the Economic Reform Roundtable's Budget sustainability and tax reform paper. Shows why these tax concessions need to be overhauled #auspol

Political opinions are still legal in this country. Facts and criticism about horrific human rights violations should be supported, not punished.

Drive it like you stole it, stop fucking around, deal with climate change, poverty, and deal with inequality to pay for it. Deal with industry transition, deal with education costs, accept that large investments in ourselves today pay for more than themselves in the future. And dental in Medicare

Telling people how to vote is fundamentally inconsistent with having a charitable purpose; charities cannot do it and maintain their lawful entitlement to charitable status.

I have a new paper in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes under current policies. I find that we are likely headed toward 2.7C by 2100 (with uncertainties from 1.9C to 3.7C), and that high end emissions scenarios have become much less likely.
