From the RBA website, "Inflation is a measure of the change (increase) in the general level of prices." I agree it's not caused by rising prices, but it's the measure of rising prices. The influx of $52b, taken on it's own would be inflationary, but this ignores all the other factors at play in the economy at the moment. The tightening of credit,…[Read more]

I just can't see hyper inflation happening in Australia. Of course, that must mean I'm an idiot. I couldn't possibly have a different opinion than you and be a sane rational human being.  By the definition you linked to, hyperinflation is a "cumulative inflation rate over 3 years of 100%". The current inflation rate is less than 3%, and dropping.…[Read more]

I absolutely agree that the troops on the front lines need the best gear. My issue is with the big ticket stuff, like planes and submarines. Do we really need these at the moment? Didn't Brendon Nelson (as Defence Minister) by a heap of planes a few years ago? The problem with conscription is it lumps all young people in the same basket. I know…[Read more]

Here's my two cents, for what it';s worth.1. Totally agree with scrapping state governments. We are over regulated, and to remove a layer of government would be a great idea, saving money and freeing people from red tape. 2. Cut a raft of state govt taxes, such as all stamp duties, payroll tax, etc. 2. As Shales said, tax the family as a group. 3…[Read more]

I don't want to be the grammar police here, but….If you don't know the difference between LOOSE and LOSE,If you don't know the difference between THEIR and THERE,and you don't know how to use an apostrophe correctly, why would we trust any of your ironclad predictions on the economy??
