After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?
It has found no corruption.

The RBA wants another 85 thousand people to become unemployed before they think it’s ‘safe’ to lower interest rates…hoping for higher unemployment and flirting with recession isn’t safe. The RBA should cut interest rates now
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.

So @grogsgamut.bsky.social is 100% right here. The problems with our housing markets are not related to access to credit.
The Coalition has suggested watering down banking regulations to lower barriers for first homebuyers seeking home loans.

The latest greenhouse gas emissions figures show Australia emits more gas now than when the government was elected.
But the govt wants us to believe we are "on target" to achieve 43% cuts below 2005 levels by 2030.
Enough with the spin: we need to stop approving new coal & gas mines *now*.
