All business saavy people know that there is a always a lag time between government policies and the consequences of those policies. So anyone unhappy about the current indicators know the blame rests with the squandering actions of the previos government. I would say though that circumstances beyond about now will be attributed squarely on the current government so the impact of their policies will soon begin to be tested. The fact that the government is being fiscally responsible should see interest rates start to come down and the economy should then chug along steadily providing us with economic stability into the future. Will be good for the markets as well. Labor I think has learned the lessons of the past on the need for economic stability on which all else can be based, that is, a fair and just system for all and all that it entails.
