Fake left Chalmers triggers fake debate with fake right
It’s argued so furiously that it could all be mistaken for an actual debate: Business leaders have warned Jim Chalmers not to “sleepwalk into being a quasi-command economy” nor rewrite Australia’s successful market-based system in the Treasurer’s quest to usher in a new era of values-based capitalism.

While Chicken Chalmers fiddles, energy burns
While Treasurer “Jim” Chicken Chalmers has so much time on his hands he can pen 6000 words of absolute mush about market restructuring, his energy reforms are not working as intended.

It ain’t gas and electricity driving the CPI…yet

Pollpocalypse! How long before Peter Dutton is sacked?
Jeez, the alleged leftie press is unreadable guff sometimes: Anthony Albanese’s approval rating has dropped five points over the summer as Peter Dutton ramped up what Indigenous leader Noel Pearson calls “a spoiling game” on the voice to parliament.

Shell folds like a cheap suit
Despite ignoring the issue forever, the MSM is cock-a-whoop: Here is what Shell has done: Shell’s Queensland-based gas company QGC on Monday notified customers it was again accepting bids for 8 petajoules of wholesale gas supply for 2023.

Straya begs for second chance as China moves on
It’s like our media is retarded: China will hold high-level trade talks with Australia in coming weeks, according to state media, boosting hopes that it will pave the way for the easing of some of Beijing’s $20 billion tariffs on Australian exports.

Chicken Chalmers headless on energy price caps
When in doubt, lie: Future prices for electricity dropped by about a third after the government announced its energy price caps, in what Treasurer Jim Chalmers says is a sign the market intervention is already taking effect.

Australia turns mining narco-state

Yes Dan Andrews, let’s have a “proper” immigration debate
When I worked at the Victorian Treasury in 2006, the Government had recently released “Melbourne 2030”, which projected that Melbourne’s population would reach 5 million people by 2030.

Sun Cable to turn domestic?
This makes a lot more sense than Mike Cannon-Brooks cable to nowhere: Andrew Forrest’s Squadron Energy is considering bidding for Sun Cable – the visionary $35 billion clean energy export project in northern Australia – against Mike Cannon-Brookes, but will dump a 5000-kilometre power cable link to Singapore if successful.

Coalition humiliation is complete: The Albanese government will cap the carbon price at $75 a tonne for miners and other big industrial emitters, in a bid to shield business from the risk of future cost spikes and provide certainty under Labor’s decarbonisation plan.
