I swear. The gap between #insiders commentary and Facebook economically illiterate commentary gets narrower every fucking week. #auseconomy #auspolitics #auspol #EatTheRBA

Increasing rates actively tightens the labour market by pushing more workers into doing more hours at the expense of productivity, and the cycle perpetuates. External factors need domestic spending to manage. The alternative is we suffer. Not all spending is smart, but smart is needed. #insiders

When people say government spending should come down, perhaps they can say exactly who should miss out. #insiders

Look I’m no expert but I do know the IMF has very standardised ways of defining spending, and it is not nuanced at all. Not all spending is inflationary, and I don’t expect dummies to get that but the IMF should, and it doesn’t help when other dummies (waves at #insiders) parrot the bullshit.

Getting kids off the algo is one thing. Getting the older generations off it is the other. Both are peddling disinformation to corral users into neat little consumption units. Smash disinfo an the algo loses its power. #insiders #auspol #algoholicsanonymous

But clearly, “their money” is an excuse so that pension budgets can be slashed, and pension accessibility tightening would surely follow. Australia could end up being a generation of elderly poor living in their “retirement asset” they can sell to survive. Their money. Their problem. #insiders

“Their money. Their money. Their money.” I remember the mask slipping when Costello and other members of the coalition which Barnaby was a member of, bleating out that Australians must ensure that there is continuing effort to encourage self-funding of retirement. Their money. #insiders #auspol

On the 25th #insiders birthday, for #TalkingPictures, Petty is the talent I miss the most; that structured chaos that drew my eye before my mind was able to comprehend the message. Glorious. Petty’s written and directed documentary, Global Haywire should be on the curriculum. Seek it out.

There needs to be an economics equivalent to #insiders, preferably straight after, where people who understand economics explain why so much said on Insiders is bullshit. #auspol

It feels like our MSM usual suspects and especially the ABC since the budget have sought to air every little niche investor class gripe about losing their tax fudge. Contrast this with NDIS recipients losing funding. Maybe a day or two of coverage? Shows you how the privileged rule. #insiders #CGT

The one thing I reckon Labor need to address is the role Labor has played in supporting and promoting the status quo. That is the missing lyric in the song sheet of reform that allows the populists to divide the working class. We notice the gap in the chorus. #insiders #auspol

Sir Render Monkey @sirrendermonkey.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

The idea that a house that isn’t profitable as a rental without taxpayer subsidies suddenly stops being a house is cooked. It becomes a house on the market for people to buy as a home. Again. The whole point. Do people think landlords didn’t exist before 1999? 😆

Here’s a link I just looked up for entrepreneurs that shows you a shit tonne of assistance (taxpayer funded, of course - everything is) you can access. Feel free to use this and you can pay us back if our support makes you rich. You’re welcome. 🤗 #insiders #auspol www.ato.gov.au/businesses-a...

Hey, startups, just quietly. Entrepreneurs in Australia have a shit tonne of welfare they can fall back on that they don’t have in the US. They can still go to hospital if they go broke, for starters, thanks to taxes. You will be taxed if your idea makes heaps of money. Good. #insiders #auspol

You know… if you’re selling your house and prices have dropped 5%, you can buy another one for 5% less. It’s only affecting people who use housing as an investment, not as a personal home. That’s. The fuck. King point. #insiders #auspol

Communication is key and so is gradual, reflective changes. The issue that really drives this is the myth that we can’t afford it. Low debt to GDP and the investment this represents means we do have time to improve it safely and properly. The hard bit is managing the media narrative.

Having spent 30 years working in the disability and aged care sectors, public and private, the NDIS was a grand ALP scheme implemented by a petulant LNP, and they did it like the NBN rollout. Shit. Fixing it can’t be ignored but can’t reverse the legitimate gains. #insiders
