Butch $37 / kg for lamb loin chops with bone in. No one is buying that sort of stuff. Over priced foods, will stay where they are. I can only believe the latest figures which says job adds at a 2 year high.
It also says this may delay a further interest rate cut. Balance of trade is within reason, and i don't see any collapse of trade with China.

579 Don't know what kind of silvertail Liberal voting butcher runs that shop there where lamb loins sell for $37 a keg. Down here in the working class Labor butchers lamb loins are $14.99/kg this morning. Lamb grilling chops on special at $8.99 a keg with a bone in. Your bloke must be a Liberal can't get it right, got a bone in his loin chops! Picked up a nice bit of corned beef for $4.99/kg with a cabbage potatoes, beans and white sauce that's dinner tonight. My bloke is trying to feed the masses, unlike silvertail who is saying "meat is only for the privileged few!"

Paul,you've inspired me. Corned beef for dinner tonight here as well.

Well 579, my best guess is that you have looked far and wide to find an over the top priced item, just for points scoring.

Now tell us the rest, organic perhaps!

Now you say food is over priced, well, I don't agree, uless of cause you are referring to the abundance of value added items that now take precedence in the supermarket shelves.

Now on the other hand, if you do think food is over priced, just wait till the worlds largest carbon tax kicks in.

Good old clever labor.

They really have no idea.

Meanwhile, jobs are now being shed in the thousands.

And they try to convince us they are sound economic managers.

You see their fundamental error is that they draw their numbers from what did happen, not from what may happen moving forward, whereas business work in exact opposite, as they make their dicissions on projected forecasts and that's the real difference.

They are shedding jobs knowing what is coming, not what has been.

Butch leave the conspiracy's for Arjay. Retail has had a down graded christmas, and the shift is on to online retail. Thousands will leave a premise and thousands will take up a premise. When consumer confidence is down retail is in trouble. The thing is Australians are not bying the cheap throw away items any more, they are keeping money in the bank.
Retail doesn't predict the future, if they did they would have got out before christmas. Scare mongering will do nothing, some go into business to be their own boss, until they find out it takes real ability to sustain the business, and not just collecting money. Cheer up Butch AU is in good hands.

Cheer up Butch AU is in good hands.

Well 579, if the past four odd years is your motivation for that comment, what do we have to look forward to in the upcoming years if nothing changes.
