On Tue 3 June, I'll be speaking in Melbourne about an 'abundance' agenda for Australia, at a Chifley Research event hosted by Maurice Blackburn. Tickets are free. Book here: events.humanitix.com/the-abundance-⦠#auspol #ausecon Maurice Blackburn





Today's Canberra Runners Half Marathon had everything: sunshine, scenery and the quiet understanding that pain is part of the charm. Huge thanks to Liz Young and the volunteers who make the running community go round (the lake). #auspolrunners Canberra Runners


Canberran Goch Kot risked his life to save a woman from a machete attack. He said afterwards he wasn't a hero, just a "typical Aussie bloke". Goch's story of bravery is part of a new exhibition opened today at the RoyalAustralianMint. Read more š ministers.treasury.gov.au/ministers/andr⦠#auspol







At National Press Club, Brian Schmidt and Richard Holden make the case for investment in basic research, noting that ideas are fundamental to productivity #ausecon




As assistant minister responsible for the RoyalAustralianMint, I dropped in to thank the team ā from die makers to shop staff. They produce every circulating Aussie coin, right here in Canberra. Our biggest manufacturer, and one of our shiniest. #auspol
