Mark Carney is a Canadian economist and politician who has been the prime minister-designate of Canada since March 9, 2025 following his election as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. He served as the 8th governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and the 120th governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.
He held various roles at Goldman Sachs, before joining the Department of Finance Canada in 2004 as senior associate deputy minister. In 2007, Carney was named Governor of the Bank of Canada, where he was responsible for Canadian monetary policy during the global financial crisis. He led the Canadian central bank until 2013, when he was appointed as the Governor of the Bank of England, where he led the British central bank's response to Brexit and the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After leaving central banking, Carney served as chair and head of impact investing at Brookfield Asset Management and as chair of the board of directors for Bloomberg. He was also appointed the United Nations Special Envoy for climate action and finance. Carney also worked as an adviser to Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau during the COVID-19 pandemic and was made chair of the Liberal Party's economic growth taskforce. In early 2025, he announced his intention to seek the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, winning the race in a landslide in March.
He is a regular at the World Economic Forum. How do you say globalist?
Peter Dutton’s biggest challenge exposed by Newspoll
Voters fear the Coalition is “not ready” to govern after one-term in opposition – and women have the biggest doubts.
The latest Newspoll, published exclusively in The Australian, suggests the Liberals are on track to pick up 7 seats based on a uniform swing of 3 per cent.
That’s a solid result for a first opposition leader but there’s a huge gap between the amount of seats he needs to win a government which is closer to 20 seats.
Of course, swings on election night are rarely uniform. But a swing of 3 per cent as suggested is not enough to form a majority government.
But the bad news for the Albanese Government is there’s no poll that says he is going to win a majority either.
Even if the Prime Minister only lost 7 seats, he would be forced into minority government and forced to negotiate with the independents to retain his job.
Labor’s primary vote remains woeful. Primary support for both major parties has lifted, with Labor on 32 per cent and the Coalition on 39 per cent.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced has the agency has identified more than $300 million in COVID-era loans were granted to children.
According to DOGE, they have identified that the Small Business Administration (SBA) granted almost 5,600 loans between 2020 and 2021 for $312 million to borrowers where, at the time of the loan, the listed owner was 11 years old or younger.
Bill O’Reilly appearing on Chris Cuomo’s show. “I think the Democratic Party is on the verge of collapse. And I liken it to 1931, when Herbert Hoover and the Republican Party basically said to the very suffering American people in the Depression, ‘We’re not helping you. You got to do it on your own. It’s all about self-reliance. We’re not going to give you any safety nets.’ That led to five consecutive Democratic wins.
