If you were PM, what things would you like to see done/changed to drag our Country out of it's current situation.
We are seeing record low interest rates, yet Business is not borrowing in any significant forms...most are shedding jobs and/or not hiring.
A bit of housing activity (mostly Sydney, a little bit in Melb, and not much else elsewhere) despite the record low rates.
Unemployment is on the rise (despite the supposed "stats" and media hype - folks are opting out of looking for work)
Consumer confidence is low, spending is down in a number of areas (Sydney housing notwithstanding)
The deficit is still blowing out - iron ore prices, wages not increasing, higher unemployment, more on the aged pension due to longer lives.
Cost of living is still going up while wages have stagnated - less spending, less tax revenues.
The current Gubb will continue to have probs getting some serious changes through the Senate,
Noone wants to make a hard decision, and the Public don't want any hard decisions to impact their hip pocket.
Aged pension will continue to drain funds as the population age increases post retirement.
And so on.
Please don't turn this thread into a Lib V Lab hate-fest, kids.....
