And that was a total fizzer. No surprise.

US of A has the best productivity on earth. Buy Australia at your own Peril. You'll be paying for their cheap china windmills and solar battery lamps.

So just to remind those who forget history. Most of it only happened yesterday.

1) Massive jump in inflation.
2) Softening labor market. 0.2% increase in unemployment is a big up tick to say the least.
3) Private sector is barely above water
4) Government job growth is dwindling, if not checked

That sounds like someone I know, just a whole lot WORSE. hahahaha

So what's the RBA gonna do now? They have a dual-mandate remember. ??? ??? ???

You guys hammer the FED. The RBA are even WORSE - check their track record.

I am going to double up on supplies.
