Regular readers of this blog would know that I am a staunch critic of what I prefer to call the “First Home Vendors Grant”, which is why I quickly supported the proposal on GetUp’s suggestion box for a boycott campaign by first home buyers.
That suggestion has become a success in its own right even …
In just a few days, Prosper Australia’s proposal that GetUp should campaign for a First Home Buyers Strike has gone from last position in Getup’s suggestion box to first. At 7.15AM this morning, it had 3,113 votes–almost 500 ahead of the next-ranked proposal.

I’ve been working on the second edition of Debunking Economics for the last three months, and I’m now flat out trying to finish the first draft by the end of March—hence the paucity of posts recently. However the latest Australian GDP figures came out this week, and …
