    WTF does this mean... national income up, GDP reported as being awesome... all because of the ABS including a revision in primary income credits from non-residents?? Huh?

    I guess that fixes the economy then.

    Inside the board room where Mathematical Politics is performed.

    Chairman: "Pass the dutchie to the left hand side"
    Treasurer: "Let's roll another number"

    Guardian isn't wading in the weed because.................. it does'nt know how it feels :)

    meanwhile the PM sees "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

    Good times==Mining boom=Count in dollar terms=increased GDP

    Bad times=Mining Slump=Count in amount ore and coal mined=increased GDP

    UK Scenario///include prostitution and the drug trade to lift GDP

    Like OC says its all BS.

    Verifies the old adage of "There are 3 types of lies......lies, damn lies and statistics."

    ABS.
    Note the BS.

    You can't blame them for living up to their name. Plus we must have thousands of families reliant on the taxpayer-funded theft who are working at the ABS. Do you iz wanting them to haz no jobs? We can't have that, can we? There must be at least 4 billion dollars worth of spin that they aren't counting in the official statistics, so they iz being fair.
