The utter slaughter, ethnic cleansing and genocide that Israel has carried out over the last six months has, of course, been harrowing to watch.

The distribution of preferences concluded today in the final three electorates: Bass, Braddon and Lyons, after Clark and Franklin concluded on Friday. The final seat result was 14 Liberal, 10 Labor, 5 Greens, 3 Jacqui Lambie Network and 3 independents: David O’Byrne, Kristie Johnston and Craig Garland. The race in Lyons was no longer in any suspense, and there was little in Bass, where Simon Wood was re-elected by less than 0.12 quotas over fellow Liberal Julie Sladden. |

Pampered hernia patient Netanyahu is ultimately responsible for the destruction of more of the planet’s hospitals than anyone since the bombing of Hamburg during the Second World War. Normally, one would feel at least some, if not in fact quite a lot, of sympathy, for a gentleman of a certain age who has to go to hospital to have a hernia operation.

CBA senior economist Belinda Allen has written a nice report on this week’s dwelling approvals data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Allen notes that housing supply is lagging way behind both the Albanese government’s housing targets and immigration-driven demand. Higher interest rates, labour shortages, and elevated material costs continue to weigh on housing |

There’s a Japanese place down the hill from us that I eat at only occasionally because there’s another Japanese place even closer that’s cheaper. But it was closed over the Easter weekend, so I went to the spendy place and decided I’d have something other than sushi or sashimi (or chicken katsu curry). Ended up ordering this bad boy. Some sort of miso rice with wagyu. |

The count is nearing the end, with Clark and Franklin finishing their count today. Quite a few candidates reached quotas today, with most of the unclear races now resolved. It now looks likely that Craig Garland will defeat Liberal Giovanna Simpson for the final seat in Braddon, leaving the government with just 14 seats. It also seems clear that Simon Wood will defeat Julie Sladden for the third Liberal seat in Bass, with no more Liberal votes to be distributed. |

A bubble, in fact. Morningstar with the note. Fortescue is the world’s fourth-largest iron ore exporter. Margins are well below industry leaders BHP and Rio Tinto, and some way behind Vale, meaning Fortescue sits in the highest half of the cost curve. This is a primary driver of our no-moat rating. Lower margins primarily result The post Fortescue bubble to burst appeared first on MacroBusiness. |

The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, was distraught and testy. It seemed that, on this occasion, Israel had gone too far.
