Two days out from budget is the perfect time to remind ourselves:

Norway's Ministry of Finance forecasts that government revenue from Norway's 78% tax on oil and gas export profits will be $A116 billion or $A85,800 for every Norwegian family of four in 2024 alone.

Imagine if Australia’s Minister for (exporting) Resources Madeline King took a leaf out of Norway’s book in developing her ‘future gas strategy’…hint: the word tax barely gets mentioned in her 100 page ‘plan’…

Who takes buses towards Monash Uni on a Sunday night? As it turns lots of people. 6:30pm last night at Glen Waverley's bus 737 stop. The #SuburbanRailLoop will help in 2035 but in the meantime the 737 needs to be better than every 40 min. #springst

A system that inadvertently makes work more difficult is why it's stressful
