My column with Prof Bruce Mountain in the @FinancialReview on the Snowy 2.0 debacle. Like Sisiphus pushing a boulder up a hill for eternity, Australians will pay for eternity to pushing water up a hill. afr.com/policy/energy-and-cl… ebacle-than-finally-build-it-20261102-p61ai3

Delighted to co-author with @burshteind: in this Op-Ed we ask—could Aussie super funds buy Cboe Australia to give ASX real competition? EI subscribers saw the ASX decline coming a decade before it became headline fodder. Now that’s a latency gap.

NEWS: $3.8 billion will be spent to upgrade 622,000 homes in Australia with national broadband network Internet, costing ~$6,100 per house. The retail cost of a @Starlink router is $549, with a monthly service fee similar to an NBN plan, but Starlink internet is up to 4x faster.

A U.S. sovereign wealth fund would pose significant economic risks to American taxpayers and voters and would give future presidents unprecedented control over the U.S. economy and federal budget, writes @burshteind on.wsj.com/43AEf15
