Peter says, morning.
Just wanted to give kudos to Stephen for giving us some rational critique of the BS being pulled in the SpaceX IPO.
I think we've talked a bit about this, Alan.
Yep.
But, you know, Peter makes the point that,
that SpaceX is going to be basically a very big bet on AI more than space.
And there seems to be no effort to read how Grok is an AI basket case.
Grok is part of the SpaceX family.
And...
Just to sum up, Peter's basically saying that the SpaceX float is going to be a disaster and well done to Stephen for pointing it out.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, I'm not sure how much, how high the deposits, the deposit rates on offer at small institutions are.
I haven't seen any stonkingly higher than larger institutions, but maybe Ben's seen something that he thinks he can take advantage of, which is fair enough.
Yep.
Paul says, no one begrudges Australia's lowest paid workers receiving a 4.75% pay increase, but the Australian Council of Commerce and Industry estimates the economy-wide wage bill impact at more than $11.7 billion.
Even if only half of that is passed on to consumers, more than 30% of the cost flows straight back to government through additional tax income, GST, payroll tax and workers' compensation premium.
So here's the question.
If the aim is to lift real wages, why does government get such a big cut?
