The market crash you speak of has been building up for at least 8 years.
Whether this is the end point of that build up I really don't think is known by anyone yet.
It is a worldwide event, and will unravel as it choses to do -central banks and government efforts notwithstanding.
For you to suggest that the recently elected Rudd government, over the course of the last 10 weeks, had some part to play in causing this thing is absolutely astounding.
