Did Albo miss the memo on China?

GDP data out last week showed the Aussie economy slowing much more quickly than expected, with consumers in particular smashing into a wall.

The boys are back to their bumpy old best. Inflation is off the front pages and deflation in China has taken its place. What’s that about?

Nvidia and AI: beginning of a boom or a baby of a bubble?

Nvidia shares jumped 25% last week, as markets decided that, actually, they do like bubbles. Woolworths spends $10m on failed Aussie start-up Milkrun, because they also like losing money. The AFR launches Housing Supply Week with self-serving propaganda that completely misses the point, and Republicans in America are looking to bring back child-labour because they hate kids.

Binance is struggling to find anyone who’ll do business with them in Australia.
