Interest rates
I'm afraid I agree with John Hawkins. Interest rates have to rise. alas prices rose across the board last week in the CPI release.No central bank can afford to gamble by saying we wil wait until next month to see what occurs. they have to be conservative thus have to raise rates.Just remember the trimmed mean is well above the target level.
One Nation.
They won a state by-election in WA.This was highly unusual. It was a safe seat. The WA government is popular yet they lost the seat. A by-election always promotes a protest vote but this was enormous. This was after Hanson had no idea of the difference between net and permanent migration. In fact they probably have no idea that the NOM includes Australians coming back home!
Sex
I am getting old but a 16 year old girl dying because she was being strangled while having sex leaves me gobsmacked. When I was 'growing up' it was 'erotic asphyxiation' and yes people died from it. I am at a loss why anyone would attempt to do anything that could kill them simply to gain an orgasm. Grow up people.
Whoopsy
GST
The productivity commission released a report on GST 'carveups'
WA is clearly the wealthiest state yet it gets a share of GSt that is way over the top.
See Shane Wright and Robert Breunig. Grrrr
