In Australia, "Rates will rise in early November. Don't take my word for it - take Mal Brough's."

Say what?? The Howard and Costello comity team would have us believe that everything is just swell. Too swell, maybe: "What has been blindingly obvious for a year or more is about to come true. The boom in the resource states is overwhelming the bad times in the latte-society states. The housing bust is not restraining the economy sufficiently; the exchange rate has been too low in the face of such extraordinarily favourable terms of trade; the labour market has been too tight for too long; and high and higher oil prices have been too high for too long and are leaking into wage rises."
