0. Labor is still the Australian Govt & PM Gillard for another 2 years, 104 weeks, 730 days, 17520 hours, 1,051,200 minutes and 63,072,000 secs and the Gillard Govt has passed 253 bills through HoR so far.And the Labor Govt Parliamentary majority goes from 75-74 to 76-73.
1. Unemployment falls to 5.2% in Sept
2. Inflation 0.3% for Sept Qtr and 3.5% on year and 2.3% on trimmed rate, lower than expectation
3. Public Net Debts 6.1% GDP & Aust Govt deficit is 3.4% of GDP and compares to deficits of over 10 per cent of GDP in the US and UK. Best Fiscal consolidation & spending restraint in the last 20 years
4. RBA Interest rate 4.50%, compared to 6.75% when Howard was voted out.
5. For the whole of the 2010-2011 financial year, the economy grew 1.8 per cent, the ABS said. Despite all the natural disasters during the year
6. AUD Vs USD 0.98
7. Trade Surplus – $2B jun 2011- Australia’s $2 billion-plus trade surplus for June brought the tally for the last financial year to $22.4 billion – easily the biggest surplus in raw terms for the past 40 years of records compiled by the ABS
8. “ALP best manager of money, history shows” – George Megalogenis
9. Australian families depending on one breadwinner pay among the lowest amounts of tax in the world and have become better off under the Gillard Government – Natsem
10. Investment in the next year in mining and related infra-structure projects $140B
11. Labor’s Tax take 21.75% of GDP Vs 25% under Liberals
12. No interest rise for the 11th consecutive month Vs 10 consecutive rises under Howard/Costello. It is now expected no rises in the future with a prospect of 100/125 basis points cut by June 2012. 25 pts cut predicted on Melbourne Cup day.
13. The number of people filling for bankruptcy in Australia has fallen by 16%.
14. Australia safe from debt crisis: OECD

21. NEW Treasury analysis finds Mining played minor role during GFC, it says service industries such as retail – which received a hefty boost from Kevin Rudd’s stimulus package – were crucial in sustaining the economy during its darkest days.
22. Spending survey shows we are better off than we think – YOU would not believe it if you listened to our politicians, but household fuel and power bills eat up no more of our wallets than they did six years ago. And petrol eats up less. he only comprehensive survey of household spending – conducted once every six years by the Bureau of Statistics – finds domestic fuel and power accounted for 2.6 per cent of household spending in 2009-10, 2.6 per cent in 2003-04 and 2.6 per cent two decades earlier in 1988-89.
23. For the whole of the 2010-2011 financial year, the economy grew 1.8 per cent, the ABS said. Despite all the national disasters during the year. And the growth is not all attributed to the Mining sector. Households are not only spending, but saving
24. MASSIVE investment in resources and healthy household spending have delivered the best economic growth in four years and boosted the government’s chances of delivering its promised return to budget surplus.
25. Wayne Swan – Treasurer of the Year 2011
26. Global recovery stalled, says IMF, but Australia well-placed to weather economic turmoil. But the Australian economy has more scope to adjust than most countries, with the ability to slow its return to budget surplus if conditions get worse, and it will be buttressed by the continuing strength in Asia, the fund says.

31. “The Atlantic magazine named Gillard as one of its “2011 brave thinkers” for her resolute strength in pushing through a carbon tax. “Whether you see the move as politically expedient or as a principled course correction, there’s no denying the risk that it entails in a country where climate change is a wildly contentious issue,” writes Geoffrey Gagnon”
32. RBA again highlights unwinding of fiscal stimulus as an offset to strong private investment.A big tick for govt management of the budget – Stephen Koukoulas
33. The Inspector-General in Bankruptcies’ (IGIB) annual report for 2010/11 showed there were 23,102 new bankruptcies in the year, down 16 per cent from the previous year.It was the lowest number recorded since 2005/06.
34. The Credit Suisse 2011 Global Wealth report, which surveyed the world’s 4.5 billion adults, also revealed that Australia’s median wealth is the highest in the world at US $220,000.
35. Japanese national debt about to top 1 quadrillion yen. That’s 1,000,000,000,000,000. In Aussie dollars that 12,700,000,000,000.

39. How good are nations at keeping the promises made at G20 summits? – Australia NO: 1 – http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/11/grading-g20

Personally economics does not realy effect me. I can earn good dollars whomever is in power.

But let me be clear, I did not vote labor for the last two election.

I cannot vote for a party that wants to censor the internet.

I cannot vote for a party that supports superannuation. f**king carbon tax had nothing on that tax for capilalists to play with hard earned money

FTR the liberals are no better. They will do both.

I also cannot vote for greens. They do not understand basic life requirements.

Which leaves me, drawing random crap on my ballet paper.

I hate them all, the Irish weasel even more, lying merkin.

What about that enquiry. Proof that Pomms will waste money on anything. Funniest part is Rupert has the media rights to it & onsold it to BBC, so quigs is paying Rupert to watch something where he thinks Rupert will get crunched but the only thing that will happen is he will get richer & more powerful.

Not payin Murdoch nuffin' Reefy. Streaming it in on my unlimited Bigpond Broadband.

it's FREE.

But I am really interested to see where this enquiry finishes up Reefman. Murdoch is stuffed in the UK, going down in the States and who knows about us.... O'Cheeing around here in aus.

Me thinks you must be bringing up those Reefy stats if you think Murdoch is getting richer out and more powerful out of all this. News of the World closed, how much paid out in hush money already..... how many lined up to get their day in court.....

Just sit back, get the popcorn and watch it unfold before your very eyes.

Jimmy Murdoch will hit the slammer. Murdoch is about to be thrown off the board in Yankland.

It's hitting the fan big time.
