I’ve no idea what advice they are taking, or from whom, but it’s not working. There are some fantastic people around who have grown their own businesses very successfully often in very challenging markets. They should be closer to the government.

I'm sure some will try today, but we are now in the longest period with no small boat crossings for over 6 years.

I don't believe anywhere else paying the wages we do to ministers would get you an 'idiot'

Presumably car production must have fallen again in October, given the monthly decline in GDP.

Did it fall in October?

Don't know, can't be bothered writing to the financial chap off the radio to fact check him because there's this random bloke on a footy website who always knows best whatever the reply.
