Dove-tailing with the Henry Review Prosper Australia have a petition calling for a review of costs of home ownership and the role of land prices (which the Henry Review was quite smart about. I have written an article on such matters entitled The Spectre of Henry, and have started a group called Land and Labor in support of the Henry Review. I am of the opinion that this is the most significant social justice reform that has been raised for decades, but alas, discussions public finance is typically a cure for insomnia.

On a related issue I received assignment results back from my two MBA courses for this semester; an 80% grade for Economic Decision Making, where I wrote on the implementation of an emissions trading scheme and subsidies for the electricity generating industry (where I suggested that they be treated like the tabacco industry) and 92% for Business Law, which was analysis of a recent Service Level Agreement. The former grade was docked a few percent because I forgot to include proper citations for two graphs - although in the process of tidying this up I did get in contact with one of the authors who seems to be a delightful chap.

One of our rabbits, Astaroth, has stopped eating which is a particular problem for a grazing animal. A visit to the local vet has diagnosed a sore tooth and has provided the usual medicines (anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic) for such a problem. At the moment we're feeding him baby food via a syringe, which he is hardly thrilled about. If he is not eating of his own accord by Monday it'll be off to the vet to get a tooth extracted. Presumably in the wild a toothache is a death sentence for a rabbit.

With hedgehogs, tooth problems often occur at or after age 3. In the wild, they're expected to live for two years, so I guess geriatric hedgie problems are a luxury and I should be honoured to have made them possible for my pet.

Rather like the problems of old age in humans I suppose...

Life in the wild is, as Hobbes said, "nasty, brutish and short".
