While also at a very basic Aussie public (state) primary school in the late 90s, our Japanese teacher organised for her and the dozen-or-so kids in the class (including me and my brother) to go for a two week trip to Japan.

Nearly bankrupted my mum, which she still reminds me about.

For financial stability, we need more multilateralism β€” not less Policy development alone is not enough. We need the timely and consistent implementation of agreed reforms across jurisdictions.

OPINION: As the G20 finance track meets amid a challenging global environment, it’s important to remember that multilateral institutions play a vital role in helping navigate troubled waters.

But they must be agile enough to refresh their responses.

Ignorance and idiocy, to be honest.

Without immigration, especially skilled which is what most of it is, Australia slides back into being a backwater in the middle of nowhere.

Keir Starmer’s plan to blame Nigel Farage for budget tax rises With Reform UK threatening the end of two-party politics, both Labour and the Tories are fighting to stay relevant as conference season comes to an end

Makes sense....but Labour better be ready with a rejoin argument (they won't).
