How to change carbon behaviour, big time – Ben Gleisner, Cogo
The conscious consumer movement has an impact but it’s still small – a minority of people choose to change their behaviour. Imagine if you could make your carbon footprint your bank’s problem. Imagine these large institutions, with millions of customers and insights into their spending, worry about their customers’ carbon footprint. That’s the genius of new carbon disclosure laws – banks, insurances companies, airlines and other large companies must now report not only on their own footprints but their customers’ too – so-called Scope 3 emissions. And someone needs to help them do that counting.
Enter Cogo, formerly a personal carbon footprint app, now being deployed by banks across Australia, NZ and the UK. Ben Gleisner, founder and entrepreneur joins Vincent to explain what’s going on with Cogo.

DTI’s, CPI’s, Mortgage Rates & Property / Kelly Eckhold
To choose the best time to lock in your mortgage rate, you need to get three things right:
How much will rates change?
Which direction will rates go,
and when will the rates change.
It may seem like a lot of work, but think of the potential reward – if you timed it right at the bottom of the interest rate cycle, you would still be paying less than 3% with almost two years to go. Read more here.

Optimism is returning to the market as interest rate drops may be on the horizon. The bottom may be in – it’s early days and we’re not out of the woods yet, but those thinking of selling this year, or buying, should pay attention to the pieces falling into place.
