future down -71pts, page-14

US stats not looking good, and there's little prospect of change in the immediate future.... and you thought 2008 was bad!

closer to home, little Kevin isn't exactly upbeat about Australia's future prospects either, and that's a concern when you realise that as a pollie he's been trained only to give good news - added to which is that as PM he would be privy to heaps of inside information which obviously predicts a not so rosy future....

I wouldn't ignore his message, Australia is not insulated against world events to the extent that some would have you belive - we'll see how it plays out....
