Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

I'm for it, but when governments interfere in markets they should probably allow orderly exits.

My guess is the recent arrival of US mega companies to the residential rental market followed by policies that force retail investors out of the market is not a coincidence.

Australia news live: Mark Butler says NDIS changes are ‘hard decisions’ but will stop scheme becoming ‘ATM for crooks’ Follow live

Why is the NDIS an 'ATM for crooks'?

Aren't paid consultancies an ATM for crooks?

Isn't giving away all our gas an ATM for crooks?

Isn't AUKUS an ATM for a crook with an orange painted face?

The RBA’s policy deliberately creates unemployment. So why do we treat the jobless so badly? The way we deal with rising inflation is highly problematic.

"The assumption underpinning employment services – that unemployed people need to be monitored, impoverished and coerced – is in direct contradiction to an interest rate policy framework that requires a certain level of unemployment to control inflation"

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.
