The true drivers of the cost-of-living crisis

The embattled head of the Reserve Bank, Philip Lowe, has lately changed the way he describes his great fear for Australia’s economy. He used to warn about a “wage-price spiral”, driving inflation even higher. Now he has turned that around and begun warning of a “price-wage spiral”.

Many scholars are leaving Twitter for #Mastodon, a public, decentralized alternative, impervious to private take-over:

Scholarly organizations are already supporting this migration:

and

There are analogous solutions for another public good in private hands: journals. There are even levers the scholarly community could pull to incentivize an analogous migration:

What are we waiting for?

For those playing along at home, #RoshenaCampbell is married to the odious #JamesCampbell, a star Murdoch employee of ill-repute. Murdoch's propaganda will plumb new depths during the #Aston by-election. It's going to be horrible. #auspol

Gina Rinehart “unfairly maligned”? Someone who’s valued at $34 billion from digging up the minerals owned by all Australians? Forrest as well. A lot of that money should go back to Australia and she’ll be maligned for as long as she holds onto this unfair wealth. #auspol

I had a degree of respect for @[email protected]. That ended today with his comments on #TheVoice. He knows perfectly well what the details are. By siding with Dutton he has exposed himself as just another slimy LNP scumbag, putting political wins ahead of national wellbeing #auspol

You can't tell me that laying off all #Qantas's experienced engineering and maintenance staff has NOT had an impact on their reliability. #auspol

Excited to say that my new book is finally available. Two years of writing joy, writers block and almost giving it away.
