not particularly hard when the 2 countries with the largest populations in the world have been expanding their economies at 8-9% a year and demanding the resources to facilitate it.

21 years continuous growth, that's incredible. I think a slow down is on the cards though, but we will have to wait and see.

Slow down is inevitable. Hopefully it will be shallow, but deep enough to bring sanity to the housing market.

The signs are there if I'm honest, but just how bad it will be is just guess work at present, like you say hopefully it will be shallow.

You were wrong Bull, the predictions are Australia's economy will grow by 3% that's 22 years of continuous growth. :thumbsup:

It's now 12th biggest economy in the world and still expanding. It's just overtaken Spain, Mexico and South Korea.

It is an amazing achievement considering the low population and the fact it's only 200 years old, but we need to remember the role of natural resources in this.
