2024/05/30

Australia is paying way too much for its home-grown gas, as the over-exporting of gas has driven East Coast gas prices 400% higher than historical average prices leading to higher inflation and a stalled energy transition. This is a huge impost on living standards via direct bill shocks and spills over to energy-intensive manufacturing, which … Continue reading "Gaslighting By The Gas Producers Exposed As Australians Pay!"

Peddling The Housing Supply Myth: Again…

Digital Finance Analytics (DFA) Blog ·

2024/05/26

Housing is in crisis in Australia, its too expensive and relative to population there is not enough of it.

In other words, we have a greater proportion of … Continue reading "Peddling The Housing Supply Myth: Again…"

2024/05/23

There is a three-way split across the country as inequality rises with mortgage holders and renters bearing the brunt of poor policy decisions for years, while older property-owning cohorts are doing just fine.
