The author makes an argument for slow paced reform of the housing market here, but only if all other economic matters remains the same, so take it with a grain of salt.

Aside from that, there is a defence of RBA policies (largely debunked by progressive economists - Greg Jericho and Prof Richard Murphy come to mind) and pick up on the RBA blame game by criticising Govt spending (social services cost money don't you know?).

In the final analysis, our economy is run by #NeoLiberals following a completely debunked #TrickleDown paradigm and a compulsion to #DeregulateMarkets (because markets know best, right?).

The essential fact to take away is that #Neoclassical economics (aka NeoLiberal Economic theory) equals #Austerity but not for all. Hence it is inherently inequitable. The author also points to #Howard's folly, the mum & dad bank, as an electoral threat limiting govt policies but does not criticise the premisse of this very bad idea.

One thing I agree with author on is that the Australian govt budget relies too heavily on wage and salary taxes, which you would expect in a climate dominated by #unfetteredCapitalism. Who else are going to pay for all the #billionaires

What does 'housing affordability' mean, and do we actually want it? 

Politicians across parties agree that housing should be more affordable. Let’s figure out what that means. 

@joannejacobs
Class is inherently intergenerational, though not solely so (there are ‘nouveau riche’ as well). But a specific generation will never be conceived of as a ‘class’. So, I disagree with you here, because it is very much a class war between those in power and with wealth and those without either regardles of generational labels.

There's this cracking meme I imagined I saw just that bewails that The Island of Doctor Moreau is now the current handbook for offshore dystopian hellscapes

After demonstrating safety, a company is able to commercialize its health care or biotech product immediately—comparable, in the United States, to going to market after Phase 1.

The Island Where People Go to Cheat Death

In a pop-up city off the coast of Honduras, longevity startups are trying to fast-track anti-aging drugs. Is this the future of medical research?

If @jonstewart or similar are interviewing a 'The market is always right, don't get in the way of the market' type of person would this be reasonable:
Host: Without warning punches guest hard in the face.
Host immediately explains this will be astounding for ratings, their business is based on ratings ergo the market directed this ergo guest has no cause for complaint.
