Who's buying Guzman Y Gomez? It's not like McDonalds, Subway, KFC, Red Rooster, or any other food chain doesn't have delivery options. How are and why are people so impressed?

What the hell were Village Roadshow thinking? That would be a super fun forensic engagement. afr.com/companies/medi…

I find quite ironic about the priority of "skill development" has been high of the preferences of employees... but then they all want to work from home. Multi-skilling in house work/client work? afr.com/work-and-caree…

@JEChalmers How long you been in Government for Jim?

1 year ago today the Liberals confirmed they‘d vote against Labor’s tax cuts for every taxpayer. Australians would be $50 a week worse off if Angus Taylor had his way on repealing Labor's tax cuts and cost of living relief. Labor is delivering a tax cut this year and another next year, as well cheaper medicines and more bulk billing to help with the cost of living.

@JEChalmers How's inflation since you been office Jim? How's small business insolvencies under Labor?

BREAKING: Labor is backing another pay rise for 2.7M minimum wage and award workers. Today we've made a submission to the Annual Wage Review recommending the Fair Work Commission award an economically sustainable real wage increase to Australia’s award workers. The minimum wage is now $175 a week higher than when we came to office. This is just another way we're helping with the cost of living, alongside all the support we’re rolling out like tax cuts and cheaper medicines.

At tax conference, bumped into a mate from mid-tier. Similar feelings towards our tax regulator. Lack of commercial understanding and where no mischievous behaviour has been done, and the hardness from the regulator is like nothing seen.

@Kate3015 @AlboMP Removing him would show failure in their renewable policy... Zero chance.

A general question, YES or NO answer. Given Chris Bowen’s abysmal record as a minister from the immigration portfolio, finance and more importantly in his current role as Minister for Climate Change and Energy should the Prime Minister @Albomp remove him? #auspol

@ChrisEconomist @AvidCommentator We know it won't happen. Albo government is weak. Soft as butter

@AvidCommentator Great speech Bang on the money

The speech I would write for Albo for tomorrow evening: "My fellow Australians, I come before you tonight amidst challenging times for Australia and the world. With traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowing to a trickle compared with its normal flows, nations around the globe, including Australia face an uncertain future for our energy supplies should the crisis continue. For this reason, I am calling for an emergency meeting of National Cabinet for Wednesday to discuss the issue with state and territory leaders, as well as with experts from relevant industries. As part of our meeting we will prepare a series of plans to secure Australia's immediate energy future, by moving to conserve the fuel supplies we have and ensure that we have adequate supplies for as long as possible. From this moment on, my government is making the recommendation that all Australians consider taking public transport instead of driving should that be appropriate for their journey. I am also calling on employers from across the nation to consider allowing employees to work from home until the current crisis passes. Australians are a deeply resilient people, we have shown that during the pandemic, the Depression and during two world wars. When we are collectively called to work together to overcome adversity, we have done so on every occasion in our history and I am certain we will again. As volatility in the energy supply market continues, my government will be making it clear that while we will attempt to keep our existing energy export commitments, that comes with an obligation to those whose economy's are powered with Australian energy products. If we supply you with the liquefied natural gas, thermal coal and coking coal to feed your economy's, then we expect that you continue to provide us with the refined fuels such as petrol, diesel and jet fuel that we receive from you. If you dont keep your commitments with us, then Australia will respond in kind. My government will secure Australians energy future, no ifs or buts, we will do whatever is necessary to keep Australia moving. In this the help of each and every Australian is vital, and I know we will collectively rise to the occasion, as we always have as a proud and united Australian people. Thank you."

@markbouris I've been banging on how wage increases are big driver of inflation for 3 years. Particularly in non productive areas of the country. Labor have been sleep at the wheel. #auspol x.com/i/status/16589…

My thoughts on RBA’s interest rate hike today!

Nearly 3 years later, this Albanese government was voted back in and still continue to lose sight of everything critical to run this country

Not sure you could respectfully include divorcees as "self-made". More like benefactor of a relationship breakdown. afr.com/wealth/people/…

14 years ago Deloitte produced "Digital Disruption - short fuse, big bang" on the industries most affected. Compare the industries to those to be greatly affected by AI in today's world. Same same but different (tech). But the underlying decision framework is very similar.

Is it just the worse when you have the busiest day lined up and your laptop screen decides to die.. Not helped by me accidentally dropping it today between meetings.

RIP Robert Duvall aka Tom in Godfather. That character was my inspiration in my career, not for the illegality of his clients work, but for being that family trusted advisor who was as important than blood. I always took inspiration from that in gaining trust of my families.

Love clients who implement and listen to all your tax planning estimates or on anticipation of a transaction. $1.1m of tax to pay - "no problems, lets lodge and get it done".

@AngusTaylorMP finally caught on to what coalition should have been raising years ago! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Labor @AlboMP @JEChalmers did nothing but makes things worse for this country over the past few years in Govt. #auspol

Probably the quickest deal I've worked on ever. Term sheet agreed in Dec, completion early Feb. $13m in the bank for the shareholders.

Never quite understand why clients and staff over complicate fixed asset registers.

Another successful client share sale for $13m all cash for an emerging software business for a private equity roll up.
