Rudd Rhetoric Shift: Recession Fears

[kevin457]

Ironic, because according to our forums Labor hacks, our economy was believed to be in good shape.

Or just Rudd clumsily tripping back into campaign mode telling cautionary tails of a Coalition induced recession?

Who believes what Monk & Co say about the economy? It is always worse than the ALP states once the Coalition gets back in to fix everything up and get us back into black, again.

I see this as Breaking News on our ABC. Geeze!!!!

Reserve Bank of Australia cuts the official interest rate to 2.5 per cent

No wonder Rudd had lunch with Keating recently, was the lunch they had to have.

I wonder if Rudd will shoulder his governments failures as well as Keating did here...

Recession indicators....

Official recession calls are the responsibility of the NBER Business Cycle Dating Committee, which is understandably vague about the specific indicators on which they base their decisions. This committee statement is about as close as they get to identifying their method.

There is, however, a general belief that there are four big indicators that the committee weighs heavily in their cycle identification process. They are:

Industrial Production
Real Personal Income (excluding transfer payments)
Employment
Real Retail Sales

Will Rudd deny we are in recession, the way Keating claimed we had recovered from one and lied when he told Australians it was business as usual, that the recession had ended when it hadn’t.


When will the ABS release Australias real unemployment figures?



The recession we had to have all over again.

Krudd is NOT going to be our next Prime Minister. Period! Tony Abbott is and what a challenge it will be for him and his Government!

It WILL be better for Australia, ourselves, our kids and our grandkids though.

And of course, this wont stop Labor spending up big on their 2013 election campaign, paying the ABC to spool their campaign junket for the sake of winning a few lousy seats.

How much a day does the ABC cost Australians again?

There is NO MONEY left for the ALP Government to spend. That's why the ALP are asking for $5 "donations". Their bucket is MT.

This is totally unbelievable. I'm not gonna bother doing a google search as I know there will be a zillion hits on the phrase "Interest rates will always be lower under an LPN Government," all coming from Howard, Costello, Abbott and Hockey.

*Zing*

Tony Abbott gets in the country will be in recession before many months, courtesy of the austerity the Libs can’t wait to clamp down. No NBN either, not even fraudband. Then next Budget—the deficit will be larger and unemployment over 8%, inflation up to 5-6% so interest rates higher (tho interest rates have no effect on cost of imports like petrol etc.

Just look at Qld—their deficit has doubled!

No, there’s still millions of dollars to be fleeced from dementia patients etc bank accounts Australians haven’t used for a whole 36 months.

The new legislation was rushed through just in time for a big campaign year I guess.

Some people are estimating $300 million or more.

Hardly the conservative $109 million our government claimed unused accounts could yield.
