Link tullawong to st Mary’s for instance. Or city to Zetland. Huge vote winner but they seem to also be shying away for some reaosn

30.03.2025 00:38 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Both headline and trimmed mean inflation in Australia are around target
The monthly trimmed mean inflation rate points to a further step down in quarterly annual trimmed mean inflation.
The Mthly CPI is continuing to see more items with annual inflation below 2%yoy than above 3%
Australia’s composite PMI +0.7pts to 51,3 in March mainly driven by manufacturing with new orders and employment up.
Input price pressures rose but output price pressures fell.
Plus Australia’s grid uses half the gas we did a decade ago, and we drill a lot more gas than we did 10 years ago. It’s a made up crisis designed to justify ever more gas extraction for export
