Public still love Albo, but don't trust him - Weekly roundup

Noel Pearson on the Voice; survey finds we still love Albo, but we don’t trust him; and time to throw out your gas cooktop. Read on for the weekly roundup of links to articles, reports, podcasts and other media on current political and economic issues in public policy.

Politics

Noel Pearson and Bridget Archer on The Voice. Aston was a terrible outcome for the Coalition: is it another step in a fundamental re-arrangement of centre-right politics in Australia? How the Liberal Party never seems to learn from defeat. A survey finds we still love Albo but we don’t trust him or any other prime minister to take the nation to war. True crime stories.

Australia’s energy transition

Households can do their part – start by throwing out your gas cooktop. The US has started a clean energy arms race – we have to join it. We had better go easy on our energy use in the coming cold season.

Other economics

A respite from interest rate rises. Why tax reform is necessary for productivity improvement. More ideas on superannuation reform – so far the government has only scratched the surface. How we have lost our enjoyment from work.

Public ideas

Forget about a rising tide that lifts all boats – provide a safe harbour instead. How kids experience poverty and how that experience shapes their lives. Why economists persist in using false theories.

Easter

Bach for Easter Sunday.
