Some days you just have to laugh. Six weeks ago, Solomons PM, Manasseh Sogavare, submitted to parliament his plan to suspend the election because it couldn’t simultaneously manage the poll and few games of footy. Australia offered support and funding to help the election, but that was rejected as interference: The Solomon Islands accused Australia The post Would-be Solomons tyrant parades H&H at UN appeared first on MacroBusiness. |

In 2009, I chose the nom de plume Houses and Holes because it fit so beautifully with Australian economic structure. We dig holes and export the dirt. Then we leverage that income in global markets via the major banks who, in turn, overlend into mortgages at home. This produces the world’s most objectionable property price The post Holes engulf houses appeared first on MacroBusiness. |

The United Nations General Assembly began its 77th session on September 13, with world leaders now taking center stage during High-Level Week from September 19-23. As the world endures myriad crises that deserve the UN’s attention, one issue is being left to the wayside that profoundly concerns the organization – the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015. |

Australia has a mixed relationship with the United Nations Human Rights Committee. Irritation, dismissal and even the occasional openly hostile comment, have registered.

Thanks to Establishment media, the sorcerer apprentices advising President Joe Biden – I refer to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, national security adviser Jacob Sullivan, and China specialist Kurt Campbell – will have no trouble rallying Americans for the widest war in 77 years, starting in Ukraine, and maybe spreading to China.

Over the last few years, I have written several essays about the takeover of the Liberal Party by religious nutters. The first time this came to my attention was in regard to the Liberal Party in Victoria1. That apparent takeover and the bizarre statement that, if elected to government, the Liberal Party would reintroduce religious instruction in public schools, led to their decline in support such that at the most recent Victorian state election the number of seats they held actually decreased (by about 9), giving the Labor state government an increased majority2. |
