Cory Bernardi, new One Nation pick, went to America to train in climate denial with #AtlasNetwork’s Heartland Institute. This One Nation, like Farage’s Reform, is a tool of reactionary billionaires determined that no fact will stand between them & profit. #Auspol

And before you shout ‘rich boomer living off term deposits welcomes rate rise’, recall some of us have adult offspring priced out of the housing market. A rate rise, assuming it dampens prices, may help them get a foothold. So can gallery hacks retire the boilerplate ‘bad news on interest trates’.

Besides, if the govt really wanted to do something about home affordability it has the tools in its grasp to reduce negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions. How much longer is this charade going to continue??

And why this tedious persistence with the assumption that interest rates are domestically determined. Inflation in recent years has been a global phenomenon. It has very little to do with govt policy.

Surely it’s time for journos to dump the recitation ‘Bad news for the govt today with official interest rates on the rise’ given a third of Australians own their homes outright and many living off term deposits.

Trump wants a weaker US dollar. But it might not be an orderly adjustment if Japan sells its Treasuries, which is probably why the Fed is offering Tokyo a swap line

Financial markets look to be on the brink. The surge in Japanese government bond yields last week threatens the ‘carry trade’ in which funds borrow cheaply in yen & buy US assets. Trump, meanwhile, is threatening to shut down the US govt again and put 100% tariffs on Canada. Seat belts on.

Arising from Carney's speech, middle powers, including Australia, should issue coordinated statements of concern about rule-of-law breaches and the need to respect alliances. They should defend international institutions like WHO & the UN and accelerate strategic diversification away from the US.

Davos used to be known as ‘Woodstock for capitalists’. But in this post-neoliberal era of might-is-right geopolitics, it looks more like its Altamont. My thoughts on an insightful analysis of the New World Disorder…
Altamont for Capitalists
What replaces globalisation, Davos Man, and neoliberalism? Serbian-American economist Branko Milanovic has an idea and it doesn't sound at all pleasant.

Can you imagine an Australian prime minister speaking so eloquently or truthfully about what Trump is doing to the world? Why doesn’t the press gallery ask Albanese for his reflections on the Carney speech at the WEF?

It’s less than a year since Albanese won an overwhelming election majority. It was a mandate to be a leader, not a wimp. So why does Albo find that lesson so hard to learn & on multiple fronts? Good question from former Canberra Times editor Jack Waterford.
Gory sausage making at the Labor knackery
“Social coherence” is being invoked everywhere, but public trust is fraying. Political panic, rushed laws and weak leadership are deepening division, not repairing it.

Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:
