We recorded this on the day Firmus pulled its float. We still think it’s relevant, and maybe even a little prescient. Stephen and Lauren talk about the A$44 billion AI company most Australians had never heard of, and about rules being written after the projects were already approved. Then they look at what Melbourne’s 1880s railway boom tells us about who carries the cost when the money runs ahead of the economy.
They cover diesel generators and trucked-in water at Bell Bay, Canberra’s “Getting It Right” consultation, Victoria’s new 150-metre buffer heading into the 28 November election, and the 1884 Octopus Act, which gave Melbourne railway lines to places nobody lived yet.
