Fresh Economic Thinking ·

2024/10/02

Why does the Australia Human Rights Commission think that the proposed misinformation bill is bad news? In this deep dive we look at what is proposed in the Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation Bill and its strange provisions, such as the specific harms of questioning elections or referenda and questioning the merits of public health measures. Looks suspiciously like an attempt to rewrite the history of the COVID era and the voice referendum. ——————Follow Cameron and Jonathan on X/Twitter

President Truman once complained about trained economists: “Whenever I ask their opinion, they say on the one hand, so-and-so; but on the other hand, so-and-so, On the one hand, — but on the other hand. I would like to meet an economist with one hand!“In this episode, Jonathan pushes Cameron to explain why his recent interviews gave the impression that he thought there was nothing wrong with the housing market. Yet at the same time, he pushes for major public
