    It's pretty bad in Russia. Sadly, their beer sucks and Europe makes better vodka.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    unexpected return of the conservative coalition government. Since then, we have also seen the country’s central bank–the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)–cut the benchmark interest rate twice to 1.00 percentage point, the lowest level on record. These two cuts–25 basis points each over consecutive months–marked the first rate change since August 2016. Surprisingly, the cuts came after an earlier period of indications from the RBA that the next move in rates would be up rather than down. Learn more

    The interest rate reductions (and expectations of more to come) partly reflect the weak performance of Australia’s economy in the past 12 months.1 But more notably, the move reflects a recent judgement call by the central bank that “full employment” has shifted, or that the number of Australians willing to work or to work more hours has increased. This implies that a lower unemployment rate (than previously thought) is needed to get wages and prices rising faster.
    Growth has slowed for a number of reasons. For one, the slowdown in global economic growth, resulting from the US-China trade dispute, has increased uncertainty for businesses, weighing on a potential recovery in investments at home. Also, the sizable fall in housing prices in two of Australia’s largest markets–Sydney and Melbourne–had become contagious, leading to a fall in new-building construction and weakening housing sentiment elsewhere in the country. This fall in the value of their biggest asset–housing–has made consumers increasingly wary of loosening their purse strings for other purchases. The fall in housing prices also coincided with an extended period of weak household income growth, which too is weighing on consumer spending.
    Signs of the slowing economy are particularly evident in the per person measures of economic growth. Output per person declined in two of the last three quarters, holding steady in the March 2019 quarter


    look like Australia is having issues of course some claim their economic state isnt tied to America but it seems whats good for America is good for down under . perhaps they are more concerned with chinas fate or just are unable to see far enough in front of their had to understand the problem
