How Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party established a network of 'ghost' candidates
Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party (PHON) is running a network of "ghost" candidates in the federal election, many of whom have not been seen nor heard of in the seats they are supposed to be contesting.

We looked into another 12 or so of One Nation’s so-called ‘ghost candidates’. None seemed to be enrolled in their electorate & most not even in the same state. As one PHON candidate told me — living in Queensland but running in Sydney — voters won’t know them "from a bar of soap" twitter.com/abcnews/status…

Interesting fact-check on the Coalition's claims a hung parliament will lead to 'chaos and confusion'.
Turns out, according to this analysis, the Gillard minority government had more success in passing legislation than the Morrison government.

Alan Kohler: Oh, for the stability of a hung parliament
It’s amusing that a party that’s had three prime ministers and three treasurers in nine years is warning about the instability of a hung parliament.

My @TheNewDailyAu column today, in which I argue that independents holding the balance of power would be fine & dandy, especially compared to what we’ve had.

Morrison’s election pitch is short on substance, contradictory and confusing
The prime minister has been left weakened or exposed on almost every front, so unpopular he has to plead with people to set aside their feelings and vote for him anyway.

Increasing work hours fundamental for Australia's growth - Ken Henry
The increasing cost of your groceries and petrol is a sign Australia's economy has entered a new phase, with a bumpy road ahead for whoever wins this month's federal election. One of Australia's top economic thinkers says the problems run deeper than the pandemic and war in Ukraine, citing unaffordable childcare and aged care as a barrier for some in workforce to increase their average hours.

We fact-checked Penny Wong on the Coalition's foreign aid to Solomon Islands. Here's what we found
Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong says the Coalition has spent 28 per cent less on development assistance to the Solomon Islands than Labor did when last in government. Is that correct?

Stephen Dziedzic@stephendziedzic
The good folk at Fact Check have (very rigorously) fact checked Labor's claim that the Coalition has cut aid to Solomon Islands. The verdict: not the full story. RAMSI means the comparison is "largely meaningless"

More interest rate hikes are coming, and housing affordability is about to get crunched
Rock-bottom rates provided a buffer to soaring house prices, but that is over. Repaying a mortgage will be harder than ever

Holding a new mortgage is now historically expensive... and unlike those who had loans in the 1980s and 1990s, the benefit of falling interest rates is not going to happen
