Great deep dive on Firmus, which has to be the most hyped name in the Australian market right now. While it has plenty of big name (insto & strategic) backers who are convinced it could be the country's next blue chip stock, there are also doubters. capitalbrief.com/article/theres…

Exclusive new polling for Capital Brief shows One Nation’s primary vote is now level with the Coalition’s, with particularly striking gains among women and low income earners. capitalbrief.com/article/one-na…

Great reporting
