Renters as refugees. Home buyers as hostages.
Australia does not have a housing shortage. Every night, 85,000 hotel and motel rooms sit empty.
At the same time, over 300,000 homes are locked in the short-term rental pool.
These homes once housed families. Now they host guests.
Agility, Innovation and Sovereign Wealth in Australia’s Renewable Future
The way forward is clear. A pivotal architectural reset in renewables and infrastructure will allow Australia to maximise its national potential and create investor-ready solutions that secure our future.
Asleep at the Wheel? Revisiting
In 2024, the Southeast Asian Eyes (SEAE) initiative was proposed as a bold, visionary response to Australia’s overreliance on conditional Western security guarantees. In 2025, with the global strategic order increasingly fragmented and overtures from China and Russia intensifying in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, this foresight has proven prophetic.

CHOICE Misled the Public; Treasury Funded It; Executive Accountability Is Now Required
Double Standards at CHOICE? "Governance and Methodological Failures in CHOICE’s Supermarket Pricing Survey"
⚠️ CHOICE failed to apply internationally accepted standards for consumer surveys
⚠️ Methodologies were opaque, untraceable, and statistically flawed
⚠️ Complaints lodged with Treasury were referred back to CHOICE — the subject of the complaint
⚠️ Meanwhile, CHOICE’s CEO admits the data is confusing and may not reflect real consumer experience

CHATO International – Executive Position Brief
“Unflushed: The Hidden Flow That’s Killing Our Coastline”
In South Australia, fish are dying, beaches are closing, and algal blooms are taking over. Everyone’s blaming the symptoms; but what about the cause?
Our new white paper from CHATO International lays out a science-backed hypothesis:
Nutrient-rich outflows from Spencer Gulf aren't dispersing into the ocean — they’re being squeezed along the coast, driven by powerful currents and topography we failed to model.
This isn’t politics. It’s physics. And it’s happening now.
Read the summary. Share your thoughts. It’s time we made marine policy with engineering-level insight; before we lose the ecosystems, the fisheries, and the coastlines we depend on.
Ukraine was promised protection. It got invasion. Australia has been assigned a role. But not a say.
Ukraine gave up its deterrent. It trusted the USA, the UK, and Russia. It got war.
Australia’s defence agreement is no different; Ukrainian-style assurance, subject to the will of the U.S. president and the people of the day.
Our submarines are already being described by U.S. senators as “additions to the American arsenal.”
This is not about abandoning allies. It’s about demanding respect.
If we are not treated as equals, then we owe no allegiance.

HOUSING TRACKER #4
We’ve got governments promising to build 1.2 million homes with just $27K per house, but nobody checked if there’s sewerage, water, power, or even flood-free land to build on. No one knows what’s actually available. No one’s in charge. And no one’s accountable.
"HOUSING TRACKER #3: The Farcical Arithmetic of Australia's Housing Crisis"
TWO SIGNS, ONE JOKE
$27,000 and $10,000... together they bought you a front fence and a carport.
Still waiting for the house? So are 1.2 million Australians.
Infrastructure hookup costs $50K–$70K.
The house? Another $500K.
The dirt? $400K, if you’re lucky.
What do the leaders offer? A combined $37,000 per home.

Why Minority Government Matters
In a minority government, power shifts.
Suddenly, they work for us — not the lobbyists, not the donors.
