No surprise: ‘… 25,000 rentals have left the Victorian rental pool over the last 18 months, the first net decline in two decades (due to) increasing holding costs & regulatory reforms … Melbourne rental listings are 21% below the five-year average …’: blog.longview.com.au/australias-ren…

@RealMarkLatham @JohnRuddick2 ‘They never believed it.’ Very true. The biggest fight apparently was with ‘the colleagues.’ Rudd, Gillard, & their successors ignored the economic lessons of the 1980s. The present incumbents are resurrecting the Whitlam years (Cairns, not Hayden), which won’t end well

It’s the 40th anniversary today of Keating’s prophecy, that without free market reform Australia would become a Banana Republic. Ironically in a week when Albanese and Chalmers have returned Labor to the Pre-Keating spite of hating people who have invested well and accumulated wealth. Keating got his nation building economic reforms through by force of personality but as he once told me, of his Labor colleagues, “Mark, they never really believed it”. That’s so true today, tragically for Australia 🇦🇺

Forty years on, one radio line reshaped Australia's economic debate: Paul Keating's 'banana republic' barb went global, prompting a rethink of policy and crystallising calls for reform that still echo in Canberra today. It still matters. #PaulKeating #Economy

The spinners at the ALP decided ‘intergenerational equity’ was a sufficiently influential ‘vibe’ that they should exploit it regardless of the economic costs of doing so (political cynicism enabled by the self destruction of the Opposition):
Real Mark Latham@RealMarkLatham

You can only think that Chalmers and Albanese have gone insane. Winding back negative gearing increases rents, with no discernible impact on house prices. Cutting the capital gains tax concession leaves the family home CGT free, an incentive for investment to flood that way. There’s no benefit at all for young home buyers. These economic vandals are just making that up.

The simple question that reveals the woke fantasies of the middle class left - denying biology seems natural when everything you believe requires denial: of elementary economics, discomfort with material success, & a belief that any success derives from exploitation of others:

BRENDAN O'NEILL What’s weirder: asking if a woman can have a penis or being so flummoxed by such a simple query that you start to stutter and sweat and flat-out refuse to answer? It’s the latter, isn’t it? To most normal people out there, the loon isn’t the person who would like to know if you understand primary-school biology – it’s the person who quite clearly does not.

Tim Blair on song: Australia’s energy policy ‘based on wind chimes and sparkles.’ (Now that the always ludicrous climate change theories are in shameful retreat, their appeal as cover for the economy reduction fantasies of middle class political cosplaying leftists is over):

@Katherine_deves The pc left which has graceless occupied the publicly funded broadcaster for generations ought to welcome the current success of a political movement headed by a woman who has been mercilessly derided for 30 years. Apparently ‘you go girl’ means something different if rightwing.

Ballet, opera, & theatre companies frequently promote fashionable equity causes - gay marriage, trans gender, and related identitarian convictions. It is important to keep in mind that economic equity does not qualify for these demonstrations of goodwill: theaustralian.com.au/commentary/cul…

The latest very obvious case for dispensing with the ABC (albeit it seems unnecessarily to hedge retention of the News Division): @tomswitzer/note/p-195934686?r=l5ai&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@tomswitzer/no…
