George Stephanopoulos opened @ThisWeekABC in high-dungeon over presidential corruption: “This unprecedented money making by a sitting President and his family summarized by critics like @TheAtlantic’s David Frum: ‘Nothing like this has been attempted or even imagined in the history of the American presidency,’ he writes. ‘Throw away the history books, discard feeble comparisons to scandals of the past....The brazenness resembles nothing seen in any earlier White House. This is American corruption on the scale of a post-Soviet republic or a post-colonial African dictatorship.’”

🚨Excl. The federal agency tasked with policing corruption failed to follow its own rules - wrongly dismissing a complaint about one of its commissioners & breaching a legal duty to report such matters to its oversight body. NACC says it was human error. abc.net.au/news/2025-05-29/n…

Reserve Bank almost certain to cut cash rate tomorrow (down 0.25pc pts to 3.85pc). But jury is out on more cuts this year given tight labour market - and Donald Trump's tariff crusade on pause. I speak with @Besa_Deda chief economist at @WilliamBuckAU abc.net.au/news/2025-05-19/n…
