The Libs' #faketradie shows they are out of touch with voters’ priorities
Posted by James Jansson · June 20, 2016 6:56 PM

Flux: an interesting model, but needs more thought
Posted by James Jansson · June 14, 2016 12:27 PM
You may have heard about Flux, a new political party that promises to bring direct democracy to Australia through a blockchain solution.
The solution is similar to parties like Senator Online, now known as Online Direct Democracy, but with a couple of key differences. Firstly, the blockchain element of Flux gives certainty about how the vote is cast. Secondly, and most importantly, the Flux system allows people to trade votes. So people may trade their votes on the TPP for votes on the great barrier reef.

AUD could go to US50c because of a lack of vision
Posted by James Jansson · May 26, 2016 2:43 PM
We’re heading for an economic disaster because of the poor planning of current and previous governments. According to ANZ Banking, the AUD could go to US 50 cents. With official interest rates at 1.75%, there is little value in holding Australian currency. If we maintain interest rates at this level or cut them further, the dollar will go down further.
