Some of Australia’s most powerful policy institutions are now being led by female economists. Between 2023 and 2026 came a remarkable run of firsts. Danielle Wood became the first woman to chair the Productivity Commission, Michele Bullock the first female governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), and Jenny Wilkinson the first woman to lead the Australian Treasury. It might seem as though women economists have suddenly arrived at the top. Yet these remarkable firsts began much earlier. Catherine Helen Spence.

Toronto: (Photo Credit: Upendra Mishra ARLINGTON, Va. — Canada’s office market is expected to continue recovering through 2028, with higher-end buildings leading improvements in vacancy and rent growth, according to a new forecast from CoStar Group. The national office vacancy rate is projected to decline steadily over the next two years as positive net absorption combines with a sharply reduced construction pipeline. However, the recovery is expected to remain uneven, with higher-quality office properties significantly outperforming other assets. Canada’s overall office vacancy rate peaked at 10.4% in the second quarter of 2025 before falling to 9.8% in the second quarter of 2026, according to CoStar. The decline came as net absorption turned positive while new office deliveries largely stopped. CoStar’s latest forecast calls for the national vacancy rate to reach 9.3% by the end of 2027 and 8.7% by the end of 2028. Both…

Ron Medley, Director of Wealth Management at Berthel Fisher Companies, keeps a client folder dated July 1, 1998. The relationship began with a cold-calling survey, a standard prospecting channel of that era, and his firm shared the upfront cost of the lead. Nearly three decades later, the mediums are unrecognizable, but the challenge is unchanged. “Finding someone with a front-burner issue worth a targeted, intentional conversation is still what an advisor is paying for,” Medley says. “The online and AI tools have simply changed the medium and how people process concepts.” It remains a problem the industry hasn’t solved at…

Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 sold out within minutes of preorders going live, and scalpers wasted no time flipping it for two to three times retail on eBay.
