There's a lot in here that I which I knew more about. You often hear about think tanks in Australia, and know they have political leanings but I wasn't aware of their precise nature. Shows my ignorance, but the movements between think tank boards and polticial appointments/the RBA are concerning.

The ABC does some truly fantastic political/economic reporting and analysis. This one is unusually long though, many of the author's (Gareth Hutchens) other articles are very good at distilling current economic trends and ideas into something understandable by lay people like me.
