- BEEF REPORT INDONESIA SLAUGHTER STEERS $5.19KG LIVE WEIGHT (RP10,600 = $1AUD) The cattle markets in Indonesia are understandably in turmoil as a result of the rapidly spreading foot and mouth disease epidemic.

- DON’T EXPECT CHINA TO SAVE THE WEST In 2008, China pulled itself, and the world, out of the hole created by the collapse of US markets. China embarked on a massive infrastructure build, saving Australia in particular from the worst of the global financial crisis. Territory iron ore producers built mine development plans around the 2008 infrastructure demand, but this may...Read more
- HOUSING CZAR ANYONE? Policies to support home ownership sit at the very centre of Australia’s cultural identity. The Federal election reinforced that with major and minor parties alike selling ideas that they believed might make it easier to own your own home. But I don’t think any of them really got there. And there are some good reasons for why. The...Read more
