Yup. And what a weasel word it is.

But too late.

I have not the faintest idea what you mean by “nativist Tanton Network”, let alone being linked to it. But nearly all the SPA donors are concerned private Australian citizens. Any links with “Koch (IPA/CIS)” only exist in your fevered mind.

Have just been listening to Greg Jericho on an Australia Institute podcast/youtube video. What he says, and supports with figures, shows that the RBA ‘the economy is running a bit hot’ was wrong. From the figures he used I’d have said incompetently wrong. They got everything wrong, at a time when so many were saying it as it turns out it was.

Jim Chalmers should throw the RBA board, they are incompetent at best, and replace them all.

One of its prescriptions, the “independent” reserve bank, has become a self-justifying institution, acting to preserve its own power and mythology; and a giant blame-shifting exercise such that workers and consumers (the same people – us!) are always blamed for firms pricing decisions. The pricing power lies with the firms, yet we always pay for the inflation, then we always pay to fix it. The RBA governor’s threat to take people’s homes confirms that the RBA is a crime against humanity. They should be put on trial for every life that they have destroyed.

How about we go way back to when the former Reserve Bank governor, Philip Lowe, recklessly lowered rates which then trapped borrowers to over-commit – after he assured them rates would not increase for a couple years. That’s the source of the current dilemma.

Country’s been in a per-capita recession for about a year. The only thing keeping the big number that everyone else looks at high enough is immigration.

Our leadership is in a “we’re gonna sell each one at a loss but make it up on volume” mindset.

… and costs of energy and rental.

Which is the fault of not taming the east coast gas cartel, and not having a sustainable migration policy. Address those two policies areas and our economy would get in better shape pretty quickly.

Things have changed since the rumble with the Murdocks empire (aren’t they part of IPA?) just saying.
