Changing competitive dynamics in mortgage lending
Stuart Jackson
October 28, 2019
In my video blog last week, I discussed why the major banks had not passed on the recent RBA rate cuts in full.

October 24, 2019
As regular readers know, we’re not great fans of profitless ‘Unicorns’ – the name given to startups valued at over $1 billion – like Tesla, Slack, Uber, Peloton, Lyft and WeWork. For a long time we’ve been hyper-critical of these companies in our blogs, The Australian, Professional Planner and Money Magazine.
