Default Re: Australia has the strongest economy in the developed world

In the interests of getting back on track, the OP stated that the prediction was for the next 2 years......

So what do you think will happen after that?

(I'm going out to buy a crystal ball!)

Not to be pedantic, but the OP (moi) didn't say two years, the IMF did.....

I guess after that we pick up the pieces of a messed up Erozone, fix up a bankrupt Argentina, watch the USA sink deeper in its mess, and carry on digging holes and selling the produce to whoever wants to buy it.

I might start a new Predictions thread....

Sorry that I had you mixed up with the IMF... I didn't re read the first post!

Isn't the US doing better than Europe at the mo? I thought I heard positive murmurings on the radio last week???

Argentina is in the poop, I agree, which is why they're running about threatening war and stealing the Spanish assets!

Europe- Well with PIGS in the single currency mix the Euro zone is forced pull them out, unless they decide to watch them sink and leave.... which may happen later?

But Australia, helping them out? Hmmmmm? Why would that happen (I'm no politician but no1 son is PPE graduate, so I pick snippets up)

I think much of Africa is doing better than Europe at the moment. The Eurozone will go down in history as a disastrous experiment.....

YOU CALL YOURSELF A MODERATOR - YOU ARE A DISGRACE.

next - please point everyone to all of the 'Trolling" threads I have started. Come on...all of them. You have accused me, so out with them.

There are None.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

Ah, so now you are saying that by calling someone a plank and allowing others to (and I think encourage ) do similar is in the spirit of being a moderator?

What I can see here is a posse of mods all backing each other up just because you are mods.

Congratulations on your insular policies of circling the wagons.

Now what is good for the goose is good for the gander, yes?

So I think you are plank and all the other mods on here who have banded together to defend the abuse of one.

Plank is okay then, is it, plank?

How does that feel, plank?

Now I wonder...

With that many planks somebody could knock up an half decent shed. Perhaps you could keep all those geese in it?

Termites would have it, what is the 'plank' equivalent in colourbond?

Discuss.
Listening to the news lastnight Australia is heading for a recession, the company as finally peaked, hopefully things will start to settle down, I think the freeze on mining intake up North has a lot to do with. Far to expensive WA
