Even if the virus is brought back under control nationwide, I don't see the Int borders opening anytime soon.
Tourism, aviation, education etc industries all brought to their knees for the foreseeable future.
We're also likely to see a medium term change to how the majority of Aussies approach their financial commitments. People will be far more conservative!

Regarding the property market, this won't escape unharmed imo. How large the drops will be, we'll have to wait & see. I'm not anticipating a massive crash with a 50% drop (Gov won't allow this) but 20% over a 2 year period wouldn't surprise me.

I dont think we are too far off it.

Well consumer spending is up vs this time last year so that kind of blows tyour theory out of the water

we will see a small drop in property short term in the capitals im thinking less than 10% in sydney and melbourne which will be the biggest drop, I dont own property in a capital city

Consumer spending has nothing to do with early super release... :rolleyes:
Nothing to do with bottle feeding the economy with stimulus via job keeper/seeker payments. :rolleyes:

Spend now and worry about it Tomorrow. Well, tomorrow is today and the outlook is grim. We were already in a rough state before this "health crisis". The Domino's are stacked and will eventually fall. Government intervention can only temporarily keep the economy afloat. The hospitality and tourism industry will take a lot longer to recover. Unemployment figures will continue to rise and government teat suckling will be maintained until next year.

looking at this from the current 'we want zero cases' point of view, my logic tells me we can either never open international borders ever again or wait and hope for a successful vaccine or let it ride and see if there is any herd immunity.

New Zealand's stance of eradication has left them in this predicament right now. they can never reopen their border to outsiders if they want to maintain what they have now. no one is going to add 2 weeks of quarantine to the start of their NZ holiday.

maybe but your assuming this will be a long term as I said is is going to be back to normal before these stimulus measures end and people spending on unnescessary stuff shows the majorty are not worried.

I disagree about the hospitality and tourism industries being in trouble either, curently people can not go anywhere overseas if that does not change more will holiday and eat out etc locally.

its a health crisis that will dissapear as quickly as it came about
 
Here is an interesting fact when considering the magnitude of moves that are possible when Silver and Gold go on a tear. In the April 2011 when silver made its high of USD49.80 the price moved more than USD12 in the month a 30% move in just one month. In Aug 2011 when gold made its high of USD1921 the low was low was USD1533. Huge movements are the order of the day when PM is being repriced.

your the only one calling it a financial crisis -- again no MSM hedia article I can recall has ever called it this

As for hospitality and tourism Long term I said it is yet to be seen if it will be a problem again with international travel banned locally could get a boost and offset international visitors.

you say a financial crisis but consumer spending is up confidence is up and as for recessions well oficially we techinally are not in one yet as we have not had 2 x quarters of negative growth yet.

again as your wrong about everything else you also said we are IN a recession when we simply are not yet. It may well happen but I am not 100 sure%

a bit like Killary was defently going to be elected president and Britan would defently stay in the EU

your making a prediction and stating ti as a fact when you may not be corrrect ( and your wrong about everything else you have said )

we are in a technical recession.

take the bet buddy, $10k on next 1/4 meeting full recession.
 
Domestic tourism won't get close to compensating for the 10 million (?) tourists that were expected to come & splash their cash in 2020. A lot of the oldies will also 'stay home, stay safe'.
+ International tourist inject 'new money' into the economy.
