Michael Pascoe: Property prices + interest rise threat = Clickbait

When not promoting the government’s shakedown of Google and Facebook, the main focus of media companies is attracting eyeballs in the hope of subsequently gaining a few pennies from advertisers.

And that, folks, is why we have clickbait.

Wardrobe malfunctions, anything real or imagined about the Royal family, two-headed snakes and frightening new diseases are great eyeball catchers – but if you’re a finance journalist, it’s difficult to work them into the business pages.

boost to JobSeeker will take Australia’s payment from the lowest in the OECD to the second-lowest after Greece

Fifty dollars sounds like a lot. But the increase in the JobSeeker unemployment benefit announced by Prime Minister Morrison on Tuesday is $50 per fortnight, which is just $25 per week. It will replace the temporary Coronavirus Supplement of $75 per week, which is itself well down on the $275 per week it began at in March last year.

It’s hard to see the increase as anything other than a cut, especially when coupled with another change which will allow recipients to earn other income of only $75 per week before JobSeeker gets cut. That’s down from the present $150 per week.
