What a mess

6th July 2022 Rookwood 5205 Comments

I love my pressure cooker. It is one of these gadgets that I would probably, quite foolishly, consider rescuing from a house fire or flooding incident. They must be treated with respect though, and there [more…]

All other things being equal

13th June 2022 Emile Woolf 3308 Comments

A paradox is an apparent absurdity or contradiction that, on close investigation, is found to be true. What’s happening in government right now is hardly paradoxical – it certainly appears to be both absurd and [more…]

“Waste not, want not”

9th May 2022 Emile Woolf 3380 Comments

“Conservative” government?……if only!

16th August 2021 Emile Woolf 2722 Comments

Designing Tax Policy – it should be obvious!

24th May 2021 Emile Woolf 2153 Comments

A well-designed tax policy would extract from citizens’ wealth what’s needed by the government to protect their lives and civil liberties. It would not be designed to achieve purely political objectives, no matter how dressed [more…]

Government’s Wayward Spending – It’s Our Money!

3rd May 2021 Emile Woolf 2744 Comments
