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

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.
