Benk, construction in southern Brisbane has been running at way below average. Not just new starts, but renovation and landscaping work has been very quiet. The floods have brought work for some, especially plasterers and electricians, but otherwise it's dead. The stimulus package didn't do a lot for domestic construction anyway. The ability to redraw against ever-increasing property valuations is what was the biggest factor. That's no longer the case. Another big worry it seems to me, is that for a lot of people Government handout money is the only thing that makes it possible to support a mortgage. That must make people uneasy: I know I'd be very uncomfortable indeed in that position.

And I have to confess to failing to polish my steel-caps as assiduously as I might. I definitely need a woman in my life!

Dear Belly,

Absolutely agree.

Each of us we've seen that people in different walks
of life may interpret the same phenomenon - whether
it is a government's policies, a religious doctrine,
or whatever, in very different ways. As I stated
previously in other words people tend to see things
from a viewpoint of subjectivity - an interpretation
based on personal values and experiences. Therefore
inevitably, we're all guilty of some measure of bias -
the tendency, often unconscious to interpret facts
according to one's own political inclinations and
one's own values.

Dear Suze,

My brothers are the same as yours by the sound of
things.
