"Despite Australia's 'soft' experience during recent tough times in Europe and the US; Nicole believes we're about to face the same kind of economic conditions.

Thanks for the post.... this is something to few people are thinking about{ probably linked to too few people thinking at all}.
Just a heads up anyone wanting to catch her, Australian speaking tour dates are here. Found out she was in Bris the day after
