Damning evidence continues to mount for the slow start to the government's Housing Accord. It wants to build 1.2 million new homes by 2029, and the first six months of the program has been anything but inspiring. Every state and territory lags behind its goal, but some are much worse than others. Here to unpack all that is Matt Kandelaars, a policy and advocacy executive at the Property Council of Australia.

Well they're realising maybe Timmy doesn't need six triangle lessons a week plus piano, French, and soccer ..read more

Donald Trump is now in for his second swing at US President. Punctuated in the middle by Joe Biden - who as Greg points out, presided over some of the worst inflation since the 1970s - Trump has come in bold and brash, talking tough on tariffs and taxes. But what does this mean for the share market?
In addition, Trump has put the green light on TikTok once again, after 24 hours of darkness - perhaps at the behest of Elon Musk.
Greg unpacks all this and more with the boys from the Savings Tip Jar.

Australia's economy is intrinsically linked with the US. Our two parents - China and the US - are at loggerheads! Won't someone think of the children! Greg Boland, chief strategy officer at Tiger Brokers (not pictured) was kind enough to share his thoughts on what this all means ..read more
