I think governments around the world are keenly aware that standing up to Trump is politically popular. If Trump ramps up the rhetoric against Australia I reckon Albo will start being less restrained in response. At the moment it's only Andrew Hastie that publicly speaks common sense about Trump - I'm sure a lot of his sentiments are shared widely around the parliament but at the moment they're not done in front of the press.

I'm not an economist either but I think it's intended to suppress demand. The basic idea is that forcing people to pay more on their home loan leaves less money for other things (yes I know - like food and medical costs) so demand across the economy goes down, supply remains the same, so this is meant to push prices down. That's what I think anyway - happy to be corrected by someone who actually knows.

Maybe it's a cunning plan to stop despairing intelligent people from fleeing the US.

He wants his face and name everywhere. Some future Democrat government will have a lot of cleaning up to do.

I didn't watch it, but read the fact checking of it. What an example of terrible journalism. Unsurprising though given the presenter previously worked for Shell.

Kimmel, Stewart, Myers and Colbert are about the only sane voices on US tv.

I look forward to the day when this thread can be merged with the "well known celebrities who have passed away" thread. But in related news - now Gina thinks that immigrants social media should be screened. Wonder where she got that idea? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/apr/27/gina-rinehart-immigrant-social-media-screening-anzac-day-sydney-opera-house-ntwnfb

I'm sure you were, but if you just read this sentence "...when I was a cop and was depositing seized drug money at my local bank" It gives a different impression...
