@tomhawleymortgagebroker: Middle of the year. Time to check back on my 2026 predictions. Back in January I called it. Living expenses up. Rents up. Government spending up. Taxes up. Productivity down. Real wages down. Share market up in dollars, sideways in real terms. Property: wrong on this one. Although in my defence, nobody had "rewrite the entire tax system" on their bingo card.
