Australia Has Skipped A Recession

Australia actually grew .4 of a percent in the last quarter.   This is amazing.  Over the last year, while the vast majority of economies have contracted at rates not seen in decades, Australia hasn’t even had mild recession.  In fact, though very minimal, Australia has actually grown.  Unemployment is still below 6 percent!

Anyhow, to the management of the country and prime minister Kevin Rudd’s preemptive strike against impending financial gloom, I have to say good work.   Someone is doing something very right here.

Here’s two photos I took of the land here.  It is totally Super Mario world.   Stunning.  Now picture that sky in the evening with dog sized bats flying around.
