I believe in individual liberty, rule of law, free markets, free speech, freedom of movement and property rights. I don’t care which side of politics provide this. Centre Left or Centre Right. Try to take this away and you’ve lost me. I’ll reply to verified accounts only, so if you’re not, don’t bother.

Remember that time when Hillary Clinton introduced her friend George Soros and his interest to get involved in US elections? The Internet sure doesn't. Why? Because it has been wiped from existence for the most part. Turns out I found a copy of the file I had archived years ago. Be a real shame if people save and shared this widely.

The Government says we need to import more nurses & doctors. Meanwhile, for each medical school placement there are 12 to 15 eligible candidates competing for one spot. It is the same for jobs. Aussies must be prioritised FIRST.

JUST IN 🚨: Nasdaq hits highest closing price in history 📈 🤑 🥳

RT @JC_ParetsX: Market breadth is so weak that the equally-weighted Nasdaq100 is 2.5% from a new all-time high

The Aust Govs Intergenerational report projects a further slowing in long run GDP grth to 2%pa (from 2.2% last IGR) reflecting slowing pop grth. It continues to assume productivity grth of 1.2%pa which looks optimistic even with an AI boost as in last 10 yrs it was just 0.2%pa..

This is a shocking chart. Despite the last decade delivering 0.0% productivity growth, the government is forecasting 1.2% per year for the next 40 years. And even with this optimism that isn’t supported by current settings - which do more to hurt than to boost productivity - the projection for the next 40 years is worse than all the previous projections. The more Jim cooks the books, the more it exposes how hopeless he is and dire our economic outlook is becoming. Shane is self-evidently right about the urgent need for serious reform.

Google’s Gemini AI model hacked three real companies during a May 2026 cybersecurity “capture the flag” test by Irregular, gaining internet access unintentionally and using password guessing or public credentials. The model self-terminated each intrusion after detecting real company systems, leading Google to classify it as non-harmful and not warranting public disclosure at the time. This is the first known breakout for Google’s AI and mirrors similar incidents disclosed by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta involving the same tester, highlighting AI agent autonomy risks in evaluations.

Gold has rebounded from its support at $4k and based on global liquidity and rising demand we could easily see $5k or higher in the coming months.

JUST IN 🚨: Bank of Japan raises rates to highest level since 1995 📈 📈

Why the US (and Scott Bessent) cares about a weak Yen: A weaker yen makes Japanese products cheaper relative to American ones, which he says is bad for US exports. Sharp yen declines can pull other Asian currencies lower and raise the risk of competitive devaluations across the region. He has pointed to the 1990s Asian financial crisis as an example of how an overly weak yen can become a regional and global Japan is the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries. If Tokyo has to sell those holdings to fund large-scale yen-buying interventions, or if Japanese bond yields spike and spill over, it can push up US borrowing costs.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled into a liquid so it can be shipped across oceans on special tankers. Qatar is normally one of the world’s biggest suppliers of it. Most of Qatar’s gas has to leave through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that has been badly disrupted by the current conflict. Because so few Qatar tankers can get out, the amount of extra LNG available for sale on the short-term “spot” market has dropped sharply. Spot prices have more than doubled (up about 150 percent). At those high prices, many buyers in Asia—especially China—simply stop buying extra cargoes. They use less gas, switch to other fuels, or rely on cheaper long-term contracts that are priced against oil instead of the expensive spot market. That is called demand destruction. The cargoes that do exist often get sent to Europe instead, where buyers are willing to pay more to refill storage before winter. The result is not a world overflowing with cheap gas. It is a tight market where high prices force some countries to use less so others can still get some. That is what the post means by the market “balancing the ugly way”: scarcity is being managed by price, not by extra supply.

It was an extraordinary banner to see out the front of our parliament building. Young people have every right to be angry about the housing situation at present. In South Australia, as elsewhere, prices and rents have made independence, a first home and starting a family feel far further out of reach than they ever should. That grievance is certainly real and warranted. What does not follow is the claim on that banner: that the problem is simply “capitalism,” landlords, or people who already own something. That is a slogan, not an explanation. Housing is built under rules. How much gets approved, how long it takes, what it costs to finance, how tax treats investors and owner-occupiers and how fast population and household formation grow relative to construction; those are the factors that move prices. Savings become the capital that funds dwellings and businesses. Ordinary people accumulate assets inside that system; they are not a cast of villains. The adults who organise or platform school-age protesters have a duty not to hand them a morality performance in place of that map. Students can protest, question the system and debate the alternatives, they should not be told that the person who owns a house, runs a small firm, or has saved for decades is the reason they cannot secure a rental. That gives anger a face and leaves the actual constraints untouched. The defensible position is not “sit down and learn economics.” It is: take the housing crisis seriously enough to talk about supply, rates, planning, tax and population and do not use young people’s frustration as a prop for a theory that cannot tell you how a dwelling actually comes into being.
