This was really good!

Lot of very cursed ads kicking around on this website these days, but this gentleman wants to make sure you're familiar with your major thirds and minor sixths.

What Caught My Eye going to be an all-timer in Rd 1

Interesting story from Robert Craddock. Australia had so few left-arm spin options that there were briefly discussions among senior players that Tom Andrews could be a replacement for Matt Kuhnemann (it won't happen). codesports.com.au/cricket/austra…

Patiently explaining the chompers lore to NSW and Qld colleagues today

My contribution to the ABC’s series Untangling the Housing Crisis is a forensic examination of the hard evidence. A solution is not as far away as many think. With thanks to Brendan Coates Peter Tulip abc.net.au/news/2025-02-1…

Estimates was dreadful even by estimates standards this week. Wrote this after several hours of banging my head against a wall. abc.net.au/news/2025-03-0…

Slightly strange request but the right audience is here... does anybody have the chart data for Budget and MYEFO 2024-25 downloaded? As often happens around this time of year, Treasury has been fiddling with the web archives and there are some dead links... eternally grateful

My take from last night on the budget big picture

The list of seats where work from home is likely to be most prevalent reads like a shopping list of marginals abc.net.au/news/2025-04-0…

Updates on about 60 seats here with sentiment from across the camps. The baseline expectation is a moderate Labor loss in Victoria and a wash elsewhere. abc.net.au/news/2025-04-2…

A close look at the suburbs. In mid-affluent areas, massive primary swings towards Labor, not just where they won but in Cook, Mitchell, Berowra. In outer suburban areas, Dutton's all-consuming obsession, third party splintering did not help him a jot. abc.net.au/news/2025-05-0…

A number of markers laid by Bragg in his interview with me, which you can both read and watch here. A very substantial shift underway on housing and a quiet but firm rinsing of the Sukkar strategy. abc.net.au/news/2025-05-3…

Lions have earned their week of bad media. But the story is very similar to last year: subpar, but mostly a goalkicking thing. On XScore they'd be 10-4 and 120%, slightly better than actual. Don't panic. v top teams: Geel W32 Adel W32 Suns W30 Gws W28 Haw W25 Wbd W7 Coll L9

A rare insight into what Treasury really thinks, all thanks to an email mishap. Raise taxes and cut spending if you want to fix the budget. Your housing target won’t be met. And be prepared for a US dollar crisis. My report with Dan Ziffer abc.net.au/news/2025-07-1…

Going in deep on the troubled HAFF. It will shake the tag that it hasn’t built any new homes (from scratch) eventually. But it’ll still be an excruciating process, like building anything in Australia. Loads of never-before-seen detail to chew on: abc.net.au/news/2025-10-0…
