I hope it was worth it for Frontier Economics. They have absolutely wrecked what was left of their professional reputation over this. lol www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12... - ThreadSky

It has always surprised me that companies take on boondoggle political fever dreams - is it ego? ie. only they have the skill to massage weightiness from dross. Remember Hockey's 'costings' 'from EY' b4 2013 bc they didn't trust treasury?

How much did Gina contribute to their fee 🤔

I’m hoping some journalists can investigate and provide background information on Frontier Economics.

Such an amazing exhibition of the Liberals imploding in front of our eyes.

Like all shonky companies, when Frontier Economics is shown to be charlatans they will simply do a “phoenix” ie change their name and re-emerge as a research “gun for hire”.

I know someone who used to work there. I wonder what he thinks of this. (In fact, I already know.)

Their website claims it will provide what customers need. Sold their souls - and any reputation - for pieces of silver. But didn't I read that the Coalition didn't pay for this modelling? Who did?

Artist's impression of the likely suspect.

Am I imagining it, or did Frontier Economics produce another dodgy financial paper for the libs during their last dodgy tenure. I can't remember what for. Maybe wrong.

Frontier Economics wrecked their reputation with modelling they did for Xenophon and Abbott to underpin abolition of carbon price. No one has held them or Xenophon to account and now history repeating itself.

Given Frontier are not energy experts, CSIRO are, together with independent energy experts, I know who I believe.

"We hope you’ll find our economists a little different".

I certainly do...

I would think they have enhanced their reputation for the class of clients they seek

The published reports are consistent with the position the MD has taken for several years. I’d suggest that for several months it’s Dutton and o’Brien that have been parroting FE statements.

But should we not be focused on the report content and the critique of AEMO’s work which is scathing ?

In a nutshell “One economist said the Coalition had effectively modelled the difference in cost between renewables and doing nothing for the next 15 years.”

Don't get Frontier Economics to do your Tax Return.
