The economy wasn’t in perfect health before bushfires and coronavirus, now it's fragileMore than a few economists say the state of the economy was not that rosy heading into this crisis. The main problem with talking down the economy by ctrys leaders & MSM is that the over sensitive stock investors tend to shit themselves and prices drop dramatically. I would say that is a good reason to be more positive. And saying we will ride it out and bounce back is positive . Australia is NOT an equal society. Wealth distribution is too skewed. Basic living expenses (health insurance, electricity, mortgages) have exponentially outpaced wages. GDP is no longer the key measure We should measure total taxable income per capita for each decile. . That’s what happens when you vote in successive governments since 2007 which are hostile to entrepreneurship and business in general. YouGetWhatYouVoteFor
