aust ecomomy in freefall, page-45

Look at a GDP graph over the last 5 years or so
Then take out the Resource component...
Tell me if thats not a recession...

Swan Rudd and co did not save us from a recession , the miners did , ..stimulus packages did not work in the USA,
nor Japan , nor UK etc ..so why would they work here in AUST

Ben Bernake when at harvard was the orchestrator of money printing for The Japanese Govt , how many years since has Japan been in recession , then The USA govt give him the reigns and he does the same thing again in the US....now is that logical ??!!!
