Aussie wages must be looking good at the current exchange rates 
I guess the average wage is looking quite generous too.
If the rate keeps dropping like this we'll all be pound millionaires
(Just kidding!)

Yeap - that's how quantative easing has helped the economy. All that extra money has made us all poorer . . .

Does anyone know if resource buying actually increased the everyday wealth of average people in Oil Rich countries.... Or did it all get channelled away by big business ?

Anyone thought that it might be the weak US dollar that's affecting all this? I don't think Australia can compete with the low cost of US exports forever - maybe I'm wrong.
