READ MOREFederal Budget 2019 Snapshot
Last year, we said Treasurer Scott Morrison’s budget would be the last before the next election. That was before the Liberal Party shenanigans that now have Mr Morrison as PM and another budget squeezed in as a last gasp pitch to voters.

READ MORE“I feel a great disturbance in the force”
Obi Wan Kenobi wasn’t talking about the yield curve when he uttered these words, but his sense of foreboding has parallels with some of the commentary over the weekend in respect of the dreaded yield curve inversion.

READ MOREThe Royal Commission – it’s all about trust

READ MOREBrexit (part I) – the view from ‘Middle England’
Having just returned from England to celebrate mum and dad’s golden wedding anniversary (love your work!)
