Deeply saddened by the loss of Prof Ann Harding AO, who I was privileged to work with at NATSEM which she founded in 1993 & directed till 2009.
Ann pioneered modelling the impacts of policy on individuals and households in Aust with a profound impact on public policy.

The consequence of Lidia Thorpe leaving The Greens is that, having been elected on a party ticket, she gets 5+ years as an independent Senator before facing re-election. Probably not what the people who voted for her had in mind.

The lesson for all of us from this leadership failure is that the "Wayne Browns" and "Chris Luxons" of our society are not the people we need to guide or lead us through troubled times. They are simply managers

Auckland has now recorded:
Over 769% of their January monthly normal rainfall
Over 38% of their entire ANNUAL rainfall
Auckland is currently challenging the record for their wettest month ever. With more rain today & tomorrow, this formidable record may also be toppled.
