Yes definitely pushing their own barrow, macduffy. And the crowds are joining in.
Westpac put out their Local Knowledge Report today. Of the 20 economic series they monitors net 30% (difference between % rising less % falling) are rising. Not often that high. Heaps more things doing better than last month than doing worse - glass more than half full.
But because it's slightly down from previous report the commentary is all about the sky falling in and we must have interest rate cuts and all that - wonder what their motive is?
