Capitalism after the crises
Date
In late October, just before the Albanese government’s first Budget, a journalist I’ve known for two decades messaged me a quote from one of the earliest Greek philosophers, Heraclitus: “No man ever steps in the same river twice. For it’s not the same river, and he’s not the same man.”

Interview with Samantha Donovan, ABC PM
Date
SAMANTHA DONOVAN:
Jim Chalmers, the value of Australians' income is going backwards due to inflation. We know prices are surging, housing for both renters and borrowers is exorbitant. How much longer are Australians going to continue to suffer in this economy?
JIM CHALMERS:
Government’s Annual Wage Review submission
Date
The Albanese Labor Government has recommended the Fair Work Commission ensures the real wages of Australia’s low‑paid workers do not go backwards.
Every Australian deserves a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. For too long, the former government asked Australians to work longer for less – we take a different approach.
