@TheAusInstitute Great idea but subsidies mess with the market - just reduce income tax and help drive productivity!

Breaking - the PM has asked for modelling on a potential new gas tax. That's great news! And, fortunately, we've released analysis on the topic just this morning. Read more: theaus.in/4lACKHa

@LouiChristopher Hopefully the case becoming clearer for a higher level of consumption taxation and lower income tax / less reliance on monetary policy as the only tool to moderate spending when things get too hot

Correct me if I am wrong, but the RBA had a target assumption for the headline CPI of 4.2% (annual) for the June 2026 Quarter. And with this target, it assumed Oil prices at $USD 64 a barrel (verses the current $92)?

Sure, we just started a new Middle East forever war in Iran, but at least the memes are fire.

@PeteWargent Interest rates far less relevant in the current economic construct.

Footy tickets selling out like hot cakes, rental vacancies at near-zero all down the east coast (and WA), campsites totally booked out for Easter already Plenty of demand in this Aussie econ!

@footyindustryAU @SharksRcb Rugby is part of the social Fabric in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa - it’s more like a religion. No other sport comes close to the influence on the people. Other sports are barely relevant from an aid/geopolitical leverage perspective.

@SharksRcb league and union could just ask their world bodies for money

Football (soccer): wot

@iainpayten This is a good outcome for the Wallabies PROVIDED THAT we can get the ANZAC Bledisloe sorted

Major news in here from Cully. *** Rugby Championship to be turfed under massive SANZAAR tours shake-up smh.com.au/sport/rugby-un…

@Sambruce86 Awesome game, great entertainment. Great spirit from the boys to come back. Let’s get behind them again in 2 weeks time #AUSvARG

Wallabies have deserved all their praise in recent times. But rightly deserve to be hammered for that performance today. Diabolical first half. Diabolical. Discipline woeful. Couldn’t adapt to Pumas’ aerial game. Pushed countless unnecessary offloads. Grim. #AUSvARG

@seanny202 What a call from you. What a result. Get better!

Tricky to call when you’re fighting back tears of happiness. Never seen a game like it before, may never again. #RSAvAUS

@cjoye Good piece. Feels like the only way out is to increase consumption taxes on the proviso that the states exercise some fiscal restraint. The next term is probably the best chance in decades of seeing a reform agenda get broad support.

Australia could become akin to Asia’s Ibiza over the next two to three decades. A beach resort for well-heeled members of the Indo-Pacific that trades off tourism and natural amenities rather than any intellectual edge. It certainly satisfies the popular stereotype of bronzed brawn being our primary competitive advantage... afr.com/policy/economy…

@IFM_Economist ETF

Can someone explain this post-pandemic performance? Is CBA really this much better a bank?

@GrogsGamut How is this still a topic of discussion? It is like the concept of an electoral mandate doesn’t exist. So weird.

Crystal Palace are the @EmiratesFACup 2025 CHAMPIONS 🏆 #CPFC

As it stands right now (10pm) Labor has achieved the biggest two party preferred result since Menzies in 1966. (56.9). It might slip below Fraser in 1975 (55.7) when all votes are counted. But it’s certainly labor’s best ever.

@georgieparker Probably an element of both turf maintenance, and giving domestic cricketers the chance to have some familiarity with the ground before playing at the G on the international stage.

Serious question… How come men’s shield cricket is allowed to play at the MCG with barely any crowd yet AFLW isn’t cos ‘not viable’. I don’t care that shield is, like go off kings, I’d just like women’s footy to be able to as well.

@TMFScottP Super is great but consumption taxes need to rise to reflect the increased purchasing power of a cohort that is insensitive to borrowing rates.

Partisan politics aside, Wayne is right. Super, as flawed as it is, remains one of the very best financial and economic policies of the last four decades. We should guard the system zealously, and make it better, stopping others from undermining it. #auspol #ausbiz

A fair summary of the life cycle of the far right in western politics.

@Jack_Quigley Every team needs a permanent home but the large kiwi population in Melbourne means playing 2 Brums games in Mel each year against NZ opposition would help make it work

@acljames In all seriousness, this makes a lot of sense. I’ve always like the idea of a barbarians style team, that plays 2-3 home games in a few different cities. Likely won’t work in practice, but it’s romantic in theory.

The Brumbies as a rugby club deserve so much better than Canberra as a city. So much sustained success and winning culture based on nobility and hard work. And the locals are just like “It’s a bit cold tonight, don’t think I’ll go.”
