This recession isn't over by a long way.
Best wishes to all families struggling at the moment.

2 Speeds - as it's been for a while.
Tourism, health, public service. Bit sad.
Miners, natural resources, developers. Slowing, but still pretty happy.
Upcoming poll indicates change of government to the right - usually means tighter fiscal policy.
Overall things seem pretty good - motorcycle industry is doing well - ads for bikes on TV type well.
