Earlier this month I published a blog post which discovered that the average 2CP margin of victory has not actually been getting smaller at recent federal elections. I didn’t end up including the chart in the post, but I also identified that the numbers of marginal seats hasn’t been going up over time, despite a number of formerly-safe seats now becoming marginal non-classic seats.

Pru Goward tries to make sense of the world. The collection cost associated with taxation is but one example of the impost of government regulation on productivity. The enormous number of public servants devoted to extracting every possible cent from economic growth is bloated by private armies of accountants and tax lawyers employed to ensure compliance |

The Australian has a consistent viewpoint on the use of gas that is clearly destructive to the Australian economy (and, therefore, itself). It is pro-gas, but it very rarely argues in favour of policies like domestic reservation, even when they are promoted by the Coalition. To some extent, this is probably ideological.

The expansion of the war from Palestine to Iran, which began on 13 June, signals an Israeli obsession persisting for four decades. As the Trump administration was negotiating in bad faith with Iran over its nuclear programme, the Israeli regime took advantage of an interval to bomb Tehran, assassinating leading scientists, a senior general and other officials, some of them engaged in the talks.
