More bullying from the Trump regime as it hits former ally Canada with blanket 35% tariffs in its latest letter “diplomacy” that briefly saw the Loonie sell off sharply and rattle some Asian share markets before some stability prevailed.

A couple of stories today make for some very unsettling reading about Kevin Rudd’s role in Australia’s pivot to China. The pivot comprises two halves. First, Rudd is failing in Washington. With Australia clearly on the outer of the Trump administration, we already know Rudd’s pre-appointment insults have played a passive role. Now, it appears The post Rudd wrecking ball flattens national interest appeared first on MacroBusiness. |

With the release of the latest U.S. employment figures last week, a still relatively robust American labour market in aggregate was revealed.

I wrote a blog post last weekend about how the NSW government has been sneaking in a change to how council vacancies are filled into a bill that is billed as primarily ending the privatisation of council election administration. Since then I’ve had the chance to do a bit more analysis on the topic and I wanted to provide more data to inform the debate. This was too late to be included in my inquiry submission so hopefully it can be found useful by MPs anyway. |

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a flooding: With apologies to T. S. Eliot Every year the UN runs a Climate Change Conference – the next is scheduled for November in Brazil. High on the agenda will be the plight of Pacific Islanders seeing their homes drown. There’s an equally pressing need close by, but the solutions seem doomed. |
