As expected, like the Morrison government, the forums bunch of conservative experts have nothing to offer when discussing the looming economic crisis facing Australia. In fact they have nothing worthwhile to offer on any subject, past tense dreamers of yesteryear the lot of them. These guys seem to live in a fantasy world populated by old memories of 1965, stuck in the past, they cannot think ahead, they cannot contemplate the future. Like rabbits in the headlights, they sit and wait to get run over. Come on old fellas, out of the easy chairs, and offer something concrete. No wonder they hate me, asking for an effort.

How does Australia head off recession, or at least minimise it effects. Ask the conservatives with their don't look at me for an answer, or should the Government be prepared to take strong fiscal and economic action. Attack is the best defence, "Heading into recession, government should be ready with proposals that provide an effective fiscal boost to aggregate demand growth. Policies should be constructed not only to be effective economically, but also to be effective politically, in order to ensure broad and engaged popular support."

What is this government arming itself with to fight the next recession? Nothing more that denial, and a liberal dose of smoke and mirrors, in my opinion its going to be crash and burn with these fools running the show.

Paul,

Rather than rubbish other people, tell us what you are going to do. What does a little old anonymous Greenie do except mouthing off like everyone else. We are just given opinions here - opinions that people who could do something are not interested in and will not act on.

ttbn

we could go 100% renewables and change the climate by stop mining coal. We could give free drugs to druggies (oh that's right we already do), we could pay bludgers to superglue themselves to the road. Then we can spend millions reeducating kids by telling them just because they have a penis they are not necessarily male. They are not old enough to drive a car but old enough to have surgery to 'change' their sex. We could continue to make our workforce dependable on the few who pay taxes and create another million public servant jobs to add to the red, yellow, pink and rainbow tape for anyone wanting to earn an honest living. Oh then we can open our borders again just like Phelps, other feminist and the Greens who allowed an Iranian who injected his penis with oil to take a hosptital bed and skip those waiting to come legally. I mean he only had about 50 offenses including vilionce but nothing to see. Yep the Greens have much to offer.

runner,

Yep, that's what Paul and the Greens stand for. The only way to get rid of them is to stop preferential voting. They wouldn't be infesting infesting the system without it.

The Australian economy is well and truly stuck in the mud and nobody knows what to do about it.

What we should be asking ourselves is how this came about.

I put the blame on three bodies: (1) the politicians of all persuasions starting from Bob Hawke (2) the bureaucrats, and (3) the business community.

Paul you are targeted but in the end by pop guns not facts
The country has great difficulties ahead, we are stagnating and it will hurt
Personal debt has been waiting to harm us and with wage stagnation it soon will
Housing is again on fire people buying at huge prices but low interest, what takes place when those rates rise
China, watch, they only have to use trade as a weapon, and at some time they will
And we enter a very real very bad recession
