'Hairdressers, dentists and dining out': The price rises that told the RBA it needed to raise rates again
  • Current RBA structure is proving inadequate at identifying profiteering by certain business sectors, where a small choice of service providers (duopolies or in some cases, even monopolies) offer consumers in Australia little choice but to continue to accept higher prices/fees. There are some extremely poor conclusions drawn if the article is accurately summarising the position of the RBA.

    Owner of Tumblr confirms site’s shift from “surging” to “small and focused”
  • I miss old Tumblr. It was so easy to find great blogs to follow and find the content and vibe you were after. A piece of escapism to the world where you wanted to live.

    From the article .. the "artistic, supportive part of Tumblr is one of the best places on the Internet." .. is well said.

    Unhappy Ricciardo says Brazilian GP restart 'exposed a flaw in the rules'
