1). Spent time in Epworth yesterday morning and the narrative of resilience, enterprise & suffering is very evident. The neglect & lack of development is very clear for all to see but despite all that, the locals have created a very vibrant local economy.

The MAGAsphere theory of the past two elections is that Dems stole the election while Trump was the sitting President––with all the power that entails––but were somehow unable to steal the election (or even make it close!) when they controlled the highest office in the land.

Just another reminder that the government *and* opposition banned 15 year-olds from social media, but are happy for my 11yo to be bombarded with gambling ads. Because... well, I have no idea. #auspol

Looking at German electricity this week you could be forgiven for forgetting they've spent FIVE HUNDRED BILLION € on a renewable energy "transition" They're just straight up fossil powered! With high costs, high carbon, and a shrinking economy. I labeled it for you below.

Major party priorities: ✅ legislation to get themselves more taxpayer money Not priorities: ❌ mandatory food & grocery code ❌ student debt relief ❌ scam protections ❌ gambling advertising reform ❌ new housing supply ❌ ensuring tradies get paid

NEW. Misinformation Bill: Legal Expert from the Victorian Bar Association calls the misinformation bill and what’s contained in the explanation memorandum “an extraordinary document”: “[The idea] that opinions, claims [and] commentary can constitute misinformation, is one of the…

90s so accurate 🤣

If I did this, people would call it "misinformation," but when a so-called trusted journalist does it, it's just an error 🤔

The argument is that Kamala lost because she was too pro-Israel. So young black voters did not see a difference between her and Trump, the guy who did the "Muslim Ban" and was so pro-Israel that he broke several decades-long bipartisan taboos (Embassy to Jerusalem, and Golan…

The Democrats picture themselves as the party for the working class and racial minorities. (Anywhere else in the world, they'd literally be called the "Labor party"). Cracks in that self-image have been opening for the past decade. But this election has utterly shattered it.…

Misogyny is a real thing. But it does not make sense as an explanation for Kamala's loss. In general, the American people have no problem electing women as executives. We've had over two dozen women governors since 2000. Around half of them in red states. On top of that, you'd…

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.

Congratulations to President Donald Trump on his election victory. Australians and Americans are great friends and true allies. Working together, we can ensure the partnership between our nations and peoples remains strong into the future.

Bill Clinton On the Palestinians: “And the only time Yasser Arafat didn't tell me the truth was when he promised me he was gonna accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel, and they got…

Global Fertility Rates have dropped from 5.3 in 1963 to 2.3 in 2021. 3.0 decline in ~58 years.

When you see that Gabriel Jesus goal back, pay close attention to when Anthony Taylor actually blows his whistle. Does he blow the whistle after the Kiwior ‘foul’? No. Does he then decide it’s a foul and subsequently blow the whistle when it looks like we might score? Yes.

😲Is it fair to say the Labor movement is now anti-democratic? Steven Miles refusing to concede feels like Queensland’s version of January 6th.

Before the 1990s, kids experienced more risk, more thrills, more physical injuries, and fewer psychological injuries than they do today. Kids had more freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. We have forgotten that kids are antifragile.

Who are these 'so-called' greedy property investors? Well according to ATO data, hundreds of thousands of them work in 'social good' careers, on lower pay, but they still aspire to achieve financial security for themselves and their families. Inspiring really, and it challenges…

The share of women going straight from High School to college has risen by 25% points since 1964. Good! For men it has not risen at all. Not so good. From our latest research brief: aibm.org/research/male-…
