Are you saying that the ABS are un reliable?
I thought they were the only source of statistics deemed reliable and suitable by the bear camp.
Maybe some RPData, ANZ, Westpac or Rismark would be better if they are available
no, abs is reliable,
haven't see that graph on ABS website (not really that I have look for it). Shadow hasn't supply the link for the chart and/or the data to plot it. But he is probably right anyway that a swing in data of home loans is very significant/unique in a downturn of that magnitude.
