The Future of Surveys: Six Takeaways from the Inaugural Conference on Innovations in Survey Measurement in the Age of AI

Why secondaries are now central to private markets liquidity
Photo credit: Light-and-Vision/Envato If there were any doubts about the staying power of private secondaries, the past few years have put them firmly to rest. The market has experienced consecutive record years for transaction volumes, with global secondaries deal value reaching approximately $226 billion in 2025, according to Campbell Lutyens. That momentum has continued into early 2026, reinforcing […]
EV charging showdown as duelling rule-changes proposed
Over the Easter weekend, some of the oil-free smugness of EV-owning Australians disappeared as they faced queues at public charging stations. Most early-adopter EV owners have home charging and might only use public charging a handful of times a year, but those occasions are likely to include the Easter and Christmas breaks, when most other EV chargers want to use them too. This will get worse.
Harry Redknapp says Danny Dyer was 'fierce' football opponent on The Dyers' Caravan Park
Harry Redknapp has said Danny Dyer was one of the toughest opponents he has ever faced across a football pitch when the pair managed rival teams for a new TV series. The former Premier League manager joined his fellow Eastender in The Dyers' Caravan Park which aired on Sky One last week. Cockney Redknapp, 78, used to spend most weekends as a child at the campsite on the Kent coast where his mum and dad owned their own caravan, and which is the subject of the Dyers' new television show.
Fixed network tariffs: the least worst option
In 2024 we put a sizeable solar system on our house, followed last year by a sizable battery system, the latter heavily subsidised by the new Federal Government rebate. This has been great for our power bill. Our local distributor uses simple volume-based pricing for the network component and thanks to our solar/battery combo, we’re hardly paying anything. Even if we moved to a time-of-use network tariff, we would be able to shift most of our grid usage to cheap periods. Good news all round.
No such thing as a free lunch hour
The rationale for the Solar Sharer Offer (SSO) is for households to soak up abundant solar energy by making it free in the middle of the day – but what will be the impact on the grid? Will our low voltage networks handle a surge in demand? The SSO will create an incentive for customers to turn things on when the free period starts at 11am.

Could under-investment be worse than under-utilisation for Australia’s energy networks? | Baringa
A year ago, when Clare Savage, Australian Energy Regulator Chair, started urging Australian energy networks “before we build more, let’s use more,” it was clear that her argument was rooted in consumer protection. That’s understandable. It’s been more than a decade since a step-change increase in network investment (the so-called ‘gold plating’) was a major contributor to rising power prices across much of the country.
Nicolas Jackson fumes as Chelsea scrap Bayern Munich loan on arrival in Germany

Chelsea helped to victory by VAR decisions but pay the price with injuries
Enzo Maresca bear hugged his backroom staff when the final whistle eventually blew on a testing afternoon for Chelsea. Huge relief all round at the result, but then grim news filtered through that while they got away with it in terms of the result, they had not got away with it completely. A hamstring injury to Liam Delap, just 14 minutes into their new striker’s first home start, has left the head coach suddenly short up front. This, despite signing two new ones this summer.
Fixing a Market Mismatch
Summary In “missing markets,” where a product or service is needed but conspicuously absent, accounting for often-overlooked factors such as the timing of sales and access to financing can be critical to success, according to research by Kellogg’s Andrew Dillon and his colleague.

Thomas Tuchel is ruthless, demanding and humourless but he's a WINNER – and just what England need for next manager
