But to do a backflip..

I don't think we are looking good for next year, considering our heavy reliance on resource exporting and countries/companies not really needing the massive amounts that these companies wear gearing up to produce/sell.

This country needs a massive deficit in the budget and it needs to be spend on infrastructure. Productivity, Health & Environment infrastructure I'd like to see it spent on. I mean massive projects too, something on the scale of the snowy mountains scheme they did way back when, but with less deaths and more long term benefits and employment.
