    Labor should clean up tobacco tax mess (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Fixing Australia’s tobacco debacle will require Labor and the public health establishment to first accept that their tax policy overkill has pushed a million or so Australians into a criminally violent black market. And, second, that slashing the world’s highest tobacco tax would not make smoking cheaper but instead would form part of the needed policy fix.

    Why not tame inflation by giving everyone a pay rise? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Why not tame inflation by giving everyone a pay rise? The cost-of-living squeeze is provoking more attacks on market economics and promoting more of the ideas that have undermined prosperity before. The talk is emboldened by American Democratic Socialists such as New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, by new British Labour PM Andy Burnham and, as disillusioned Labor reformer Alex Sanchez notes, even by Anthony Albanese.

    Max Walsh would recognise this poor, little rich country (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Through its title alone, Paul Kelly’s commanding account of the Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison Coalition governments nails the final chapter of Australia’s early 21st Century prosperity. The Twilight of Exceptionalism story begins just a year after this prosperity topped out with the iron ore export price at $US180 a tonne, the Australian dollar worth $US1.10 and per capita GDP one-third higher than America’s.
