what are you blabbering about?

(i assume youre talking about the numbers out for the march quarter which every economist around australia & the world anticipated would be rubbish thanks to floods and cyclones that affected core gdp export areas?)

It's not just the floods. It's the fact the economy is a bit of a one trick pony at the moment with most sectors stagnant at best. Retail, manufacturing, construction are all struggling.

The -1.2% was much worse than predicted.

Well personally I refuse to believe the published numbers. We're different in Australia.

I think that house prices will rise 20% this year, and 20% next year...:D
