Dennis Shanahan talks #journalism at #UOW graduation. To paraphrase “while the strength of Australian journalism is diversity of opinion, just as in 1971, it’s important journalism remains factual “ @aus_media

No shit… But it’s the same for petrol and diesel vehicles.
Real-world testing of EVs found none of the nine models surveyed – including those made by Tesla, BYD, MG and Kia – could travel as far as they claimed on a single battery charge.

Yeah, interest alone ….😬 And devalue their credit rating and the interest bill increases due risk margin.But governments are good at cost shifting. For eg, the Minns government is keen to take on Sydneywater balance sheet to maintain their credit rating.Just sayin’ @abcnews
Taxpayers will pay $47.4 billion in interest payments on state and federal debt this year, equivalent to about $1700 per person.

Interesting that the Country Hour played an excerpt from Peter Cullen ( who died almost 20 yrs ago) before the advent of permanent nut plantations. Prof Cullen also conceded late in his professional career that annual crops are prob better suited to Oz climate.🤷♂️ @abcnews

Opinion: While politicians blame external forces for inflation, a staggering truth emerges: Australian housing prices have risen almost exactly in line with the creation of new money since 2015. Read more: https://t.co/giUErvutGX

A little read. A parable. A ditty. Simple Or so it seems Not so
Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay £1. The sixth would pay £3.
