I think 12 months ago it was don't come because of the exchange rate.


I think laughing girl was making fun of people who might not come because the exchange rate was against them. Just prior to that she was laughing at people who come for the beach and weather. I think some people just like to laugh at others.

I thought the main reason not to come to Australia was because of all the foreigners.

This sounds as if it was written by Thatcher herself. Every western economy has stimulated their economy yet this piece of right wing crap slates Rudd for doing the same. Read it and use it as bog paper because thats all its good for.

Its written in very simple terms to be read by the the average aussie, its not like many read the financial times is it where a far more complex report was made. So yes it could have been better written, however the point it makes will hit home when the billions borrowed have to be clawed back in. Budget soon

Yep it's just sour grapes. But it entertains the chattering classes. The perfect fodder for those entertained by Today Tonight and ACA.

Many points still valid, however its badly written, easy to focus on that rather than fact a lot of what is being said is correct.

Serves purpose in aussie media, used to get message across, suits general aussie public, I imagine the Financial Times here has a slightly limited circulation
