Somehow economists/analysts will find a way to say that these results are flawed and unemployment on its way to above 8%, retail sales to collapse, we're going to be in a long recession blah blah blah
Australians have shown thus far that they are resilient to the rubbish being dumped on them by these so called experts.
Once all this is done and dusted, all these so called experts should be held accountable with their frivilous forecasts.
They are all a disgrace and should all be sent to the scrapheap. Our economic growth would be stronger still if these so called resources were allocated more efficiently.
Majority of Australians says worst of crisis is over Article from: AAPFont size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print July 20, 2009 04:39pm MORE than half of Australians believe the worst of the global financial crisis is over and that the economy is starting to improve, a poll shows.
The Essential Media poll found that 52 per cent of those surveyed thought the worst of the downturn was over.
Close to a third of respondents (31 per cent) were a little more pessimistic and thought Australia's economy would get worse.
Labor voters were more upbeat about the economy with 63 per cent saying they believed Australia was over the worst of the downturn and that things were starting to improve, compared to 52 per cent of coalition voters.
Green voters were less optimistic with 45 per cent saying they believed that economic conditions would worsen before there was a recovery.
The poll, conducted from July 14 to July 19, also showed there had been little change in the voting intentions of Australians.
On a two-party preferred basis, the coalition has 44 per cent support, up one point on the previous poll, while support for Labor fell by one point to 56 per cent.
