What was inflation in October, from the ABS's new 'full monthly' measure? Perhaps the 3.8% headline 12-month number (3.9% seasonally adjusted, whatevs)?
Nope, on trend, seasonally adjusted annualised, it was 4.7%. The headline annual increase is actually the 12-month average centred 6 months ago.

On this data Albanese Labor will see a 5% 'headline' (12-month) inflation number by about mid next year, presumably with an associated strong RBA response. That could be a good time to be LNP leader.

The Greens have secured enviro laws with new protections for native forests & stopped Labor from fast-tracking coal & gas.
We’ve got outcomes that forest campaigners have fought for across decades.

To end the case, Ben proposed a very minor restriction to his political freedom.

Why are we still making movies about events 80 years ago?
In my youth the American Civil War was just 100 years past, yet barely mentioned, certainly not referred to as if recent. How long before we treat the war in Europe that way? We already do the war in the Pacific, excepting Hiroshima Day.
