A business risk management strategy that benefits society How a business is seen to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic – how much customers perceive the business cares about their wellbeing – will be remembered long after we have forgotten the difference between vaccine efficacy and effectiveness. Last week I launched my campaign “Make This SummerContinue reading ““We Mask Because We Care””

An open letter to all Australian State and Territory Premiers, State and Territory Chief Health Officers, Prime Minister Morrison, Minister Hunt, and the Australian CMO Hello distinguished group. Firstly please allow me to thank you sincerely for collectively managing our response to the COVID-19 pandemic that has been very successful in comparison to most nations,Continue reading “Make This Summer Count!”

I have written extensively detailing my views on why conservatives are hell-bent on minimising introductions of stringent measures to retard the COVID-19 pandemic in their jurisdictions which would reduce preventable deaths. It boils down to their political power base being the business class elite, and their greatest fear is that The Great Reset will leadContinue reading “How Might Milton Friedman Respond To The COVID-19 Pandemic?”

If I could draw a cartoon to depict the Treasurer as he presented his budget, I would draw a balding man sitting at a table with two whisks of hair pulled from each side to form a large, taught cross on the top of his head, all fingers and toes crossed tightly, and multiple 6-sidedContinue reading “MacroEdgo On The Australian Budget”

We have all been duped, like in a classic Rob Mariano double-cross maneuvre in the Survivor series my family is currently binge watching. At the end of July, and early in the latest outbreak in Melbourne, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said his aim was now “aggressive” suppression and when pressed on what that meant, clarifiedContinue reading “Why The Rush Messrs. Morrison and Frydenberg?”

Readers who have followed my commentary since early February will know that I have been prescient from the beginning of the pandemic.
