@DavidBeckworth But look at the slope. To the moon

Perspective!

Senator Gerard Rennick on withholding tax rates and the shifting of profits offshore in Australia.

@bennyjohnson A better way to reduce drug prices - reduce cost to patients using government subsidies. eg Australian PBS is restricted to agreed reductions in the price of drugs plus proof of utility and is limited to citizens while non citizens pay full cost.

🚨BREAKING: President Trump announces MASSIVE tariffs are coming VERY shortly on pharmaceuticals. THIS is what I voted for: "We're gonna tariff our pharmaceuticals ... we're going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals."

@Forbes @SteveForbesCEO Foreign countries respect patents! They subsidise medicines if the pharmaceutical company reduces the price. Patients who do not qualify (eg for the PBS of Australia) pay full price. USA could reduce the price of medicines if they simply subsidise them for American citizens.

.@SteveForbesCEO calls out the unfair trade practices that see U.S. citizens subsidizing the pharmaceutical bills of other countries—and lays out the desperately needed reforms to make things right. #WhatsAhead

@Scutty Might need to go higher for China to keep buying treasuries

@Immutep It seems investors did not understand this. Why don’t you provide the meaning of obscure abbreviations such as in a footnote so they will know what your insider jargon means!

#Pakistan🇵🇰 “Respect the Asian tiger”, an opinion piece by Jaume d’Urgell (@JaumedUrgell), Secretary-General of the International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF). RESPECT THE ASIAN TIGER Jaume d'Urgell, IHRF's Sec-Gen In the pursuit of a harmonious future, I earnestly advocate for a Pakistan where democratic principles flourish, the military upholds the sovereign will of its citizens, and the nation moves together towards a prosperous horizon, ensuring a dignified and promising future for all its people. is with a deep sense of urgency and concern that I address the international community about the grave situation unfolding in Pakistan. The ousting of Prime Minister Imran Khan by the country's military, in clear defiance of the democratic will of the Pakistani people expressed through the ballot box, is an appalling violation of democratic principles and human rights. This act of overthrow, allegedly at the behest of the United States government because of opposition to Khan's policy of maintaining neutrality in the NATO-Russia conflict in Ukraine, is a blatant interference in Pakistan's sovereign affairs and an affront to the principles of self-determination and democratic governance. In the aftermath of this upheaval, there has been a worrying escalation of authoritarian measures by the Pakistani military establishment, including censorship, exile, illegal arrests and the appalling targeting of journalists such as Arshad Sharif, culminating in acts of violence and suppression of political dissent. The filing of numerous baseless cases, the attack on former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the harassment of PTI party members and the outright manipulation of the electoral process are indicative of a deliberate strategy to undermine the judiciary, silence the opposition and erode the democratic fabric of the nation. Such actions not only jeopardise the integrity of Pakistan's democratic institutions, but also pose a significant threat to regional stability and peace. The international community, particularly the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union, must reflect on the implications of their attitudes and policies towards Pakistan. The tacit acceptance or support of an emerging military dictatorship, at the risk of triggering civil conflict in a nuclear-armed state, raises profound questions about the commitment of these global actors to democratic values and human rights. The potential for such a situation to escalate into a wider regional or global crisis cannot be underestimated, and the costs, both human and geopolitical, would be catastrophic. In the interests of peace, democracy, regional stability and the well-being of the Pakistani people, it is imperative that the international community, particularly those nations with significant influence in global affairs, reassess their approach to Pakistan. Respect for Pakistan's sovereignty, non-interference in its internal democratic processes and support for a peaceful and democratic resolution of the current crisis are essential. The future of Pakistan, and indeed the wider region, must be determined by the will of its people, free from external coercion or influence, in accordance with the principles of international law and human rights.◼️
