    Under a regime run by your deplorable fish&chips auntie and her

    would do that.

    Most likely they will simply favour greedy bastard landlords and corrupt investors even more.

    It's not a lie.
    Australia's private sector is shrinking (INDUSTRY)
    the public sector is growing (GOVERNMENT)

    Headline GDP growth can (and has) continued even, while the private
    sector is soft, because public demand has filled the gap.
    That is still oeconomic growtho by the standard statistical
    definition.

    It is not, however, the same as broad-based, productivity-led, private-sector-driven expansion that historically delivers stronger
    gains in real wages, innovation, and living standards. The composition
    matters a great deal for whether the growth is robust and
    welfare-enhancing.

    A growing public service makes rising Australian government debt
    harder to reverse, not easier.

    Commonwealth debt has soared past $1 trillion and interest is the fastest-growing government payment. Even faster than the NDIS.

    is this Usenet post true?
    " in fact THRIVING and doing better than
    EVERY OTHER OECD country except the USA
    and is doing as well as the USA in that regard"
    No, this Usenet post is factually incorrect.
    While the text does not name the specific country being compared, no
    member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
    (OECD) fits this exact mathematical description.

    OECD
    If the country being referenced is the United States, the statement is logically impossible ("doing better than every other country except
    the USA and doing as well as the USA"). If it is referencing a
    different OECD nation, official economic data directly disproves the
    claim.

    World Bank Open Data
    +1
    The Real Data Behind the Claim
    Depending on what the author meant by "thriving" (typically measured
    by annual Real GDP Growth), the numbers do not support the post:

    OECD
    The US is not the top performer: While the US economy has shown
    resilience, it does not hold the sole top spot in the OECD. For 2025
    and 2026, nations like Ireland, Costa Rica, Poland, Tnrkiye, and
    Lithuania have posted higher annual growth rates.

    OECD
    +1
    No single country sits cleanly in second place: There is no country
    that beats every other member except the US. For instance, according
    to recent OECD Economic Indicators, multiple countries outpace or
    match each other quarterly and annually depending on the sector.

    The House of Commons Library
    Why People Make These Claims
    This post likely stems from a common misinterpretation of
    macroeconomic news. The US has frequently led the G7 (the group of
    seven advanced economies including Germany, Japan, and the UK) in
    post-pandemic recovery.

    OECD
    +1
    However, the G7 is only a small subset of the 38 total OECD member
    nations. Broadening the comparison to the entire OECD introduces
    smaller, faster-growing economies that consistently outperform the
    larger advanced nations in pure percentage growth.

    World Bank Open Data
    +1
    If you know which country the post was originally referring to, or the
    specific economic metric they were using (like inflation or
    unemployment), let me know! I can pulling the exact numbers for that
    country to see how it truly stacks up.

    Refering to Australia
    No, when applied to Australia, this Usenet post is factually
    incorrect.
    While AustraliaAs economy remains resilient compared to some nations,
    it is not performing better than every other OECD country except the
    USA, nor is it matched with the USA at the top of the ladder.
    According to the latest OECD Economic Surveys: Australia and data from
    the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the actual state of the
    economy directly refutes the postAs extreme claim.

    Australian Bureau of Statistics
    +1
    ?? The Real Data vs. The Post
    Subdued Economic Growth: The ABS quarterly data confirms the
    Australian economy grew by just 0.4% in the June quarter, with annual
    financial year GDP growth sitting at 2.4%. The OECD Economic Snapshot
    forecasts Australia's overall growth to hover around 1.9%ua rate that economists describe as "subdued" or "mired in mediocrity" rather than "thriving".

    OECD
    +2
    OECD Rankings: Far from being in second place right behind the USA,
    Australia generally ranks near the middle or lower-middle of the pack
    among the 38 OECD nations for pure GDP expansion. Fast-growing OECD
    peers like Poland, Costa Rica, and Tnrkiye significantly outpace
    Australian growth.

    Independent Australia
    The "Per Capita" Recession: While the overall economy is growing
    slightly due to strong population growth, GDP per capita has
    consistently fallen or stagnated over the last few years. This means
    that on an individual level, the average Australian's economic output
    and disposable income have actually shrunk due to sticky inflation and
    high mortgage costs.

    OECD
    +1
    High Underlying Inflation: Far from "doing as well as the USA,"
    Australia has battled some of the highest core inflation rates among
    advanced economies, lagging behind the US and Europe in successfully
    bringing consumer prices back down to target levels.

    ? Where Australia Is Performing Well
    To be fair to the author of the post, there are a couple of bright
    spots where Australia ranks highly within the OECD, which might have
    caused their confusion:
    The Labour Market: AustraliaAs unemployment rate remains low (around
    4.1% to 4.4%), which is healthily below the OECD average.
    Labour Participation: Australia boasts an exceptionally high workforce participation rate (around 81%), meaning a higher percentage of the
    population is employed or looking for work than in most wealthy
    nations.

    OECD
    +1
    ?? Summary
    The claim that Australia is "thriving" above all OECD nations except
    the US is a massive exaggeration. Australia has a strong jobs market,
    but its overall growth, inflation management, and productivity
    trailing behind many other developed nations.

    AFR
    +2
    If you are tracking down the source of this claim, I can check
    specific historical periods (like the 2008 GFC when Australia did lead
    the OECD) or look into specific sectors like housing or mining. Would
    you like to compare a different economic indicator?

    The Usenet post perfectly mirrors the official political narrative
    coming from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim
    Chalmers. However, pieces published by The Australian Financial Review
    (AFR) explain why this "thriving" rhetoric is heavily criticized as a
    complete disconnect from real economic data.
    The core AFR insights reveal how reality contradicts the political
    spin. <https://www.afr.com/policy/economy/chalmers-says-the-economy-is-world-beating-the-data-says-it-s-not-20250605-p5m555>

    The Real Data Behind the Claim
    The US is not the top performer:
    While the US economy has shown resilience, it does not hold the sole
    top spot in the OECD. For 2025 and 2026, nations like Ireland, Costa
    Rica, Poland, Tnrkiye, and Lithuania have posted higher annual growth
    rates.
    No single country sits cleanly in second place:
    There is no country that beats every other member except the US.
    For instance, according to recent OECD Economic Indicators, multiple
    countries outpace or match each other quarterly and annually depending
    on the sector.
    The US has frequently led the G7 (the group of seven advanced
    economies including Germany, Japan, and the UK) in post-pandemic recovery.However, the G7 is only a small subset of the 38 total OECD
    member nations.
    Broadening the comparison to the entire OECD introduces smaller,
    faster-growing economies that consistently outperform the larger
    advanced nations in pure percentage growth

    BULLSHIT!

    Mainly caused by incomes are now below a survivable income
    Incomes now need to be doubled or we become a banana republic.

    That has fuck all to do with Labor per se.
    This is unavoidable result of your late stage capitalism run by politics subservient to millionaire/billionaire class corporate interests at the
    cost of all other lower economic classes. Neo-liberalism's 'greatest' achievement so far is the ongoing destruction of the middle class.

    Successive governments since the Whitlam era have contributed to this unfortunate outcome more and more. Lying rodent gnome Howard was the
    worst of the worst ruthless capitalist politicians paving the way for
    this more and more hard right shifting political climate in OZ.
    Sadly senile full retards like you, Petz dear, with raging hate towards
    the political left and even the centre somehow expect that some
    far-right extremist mob financed and manipulated by corporate
    billionaires suddenly reverse the worsening situation of the wage slave classes.

    ABC supports Albanese Labor Lies (and you know this)

    BULLSHIT!

    So far Labor still lies much less then its far-right political opponents
    who have not uttered anything that was anywhere near facts and reality
    for decades. Your all time favourite fish&chips aunty would not
    recognise truth even if one day she fell over it.

    These days ABC is sadly stuffed full of very right leaning journalists (although they are still real journalists and not far-right propagandist drones) and lost of pro-Coalition goons in its upper management.

    By "real figures" do you mean those ones busily manufactured in your

    When we talk about paying-off politicians in third-world
    countries we call it bribery.
    However, when we undertake the same process in parliament.
    we call it lobbying.

    The secretive support for "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" is from West
    Australia mining magnates (The Minerals Council)
    Gina Rinehart is highly public about her supportuopenly gifting One
    Nation a $2.1 million Cirrus G7 aircraft and funnelling cash through
    senior employeesuother resource magnates and mining corporate entities absolutely use the "Canberra club's" own rules to hide their support.
    For large mining companies, being directly named as a financial backer
    of Pauline Hanson would cause instant brand damage, invite consumer
    boycotts, and trigger retaliation from a sitting Labor
    government.Instead of donating directly, they use specific legal
    loopholes to keep their hands clean while ensuring One Nation stays well-funded:

    The heart of a massive, brewing political and social crisis in
    regional Australia.
    Many rural communities, agricultural advocates, and economists share
    your frustration, arguing that sacrificing prime, food-producing
    agricultural land just to generate corporate carbon credits is
    incredibly short-sighted.
    This exact tensionuoften called the "Food vs. Carbon" debateuis
    causing a major political backlash across the country for several
    critical reasons:1. The threat to food security australiaAs premium agricultural zones, like the NSW Riverina or the Tasmanian
    agricultural flats, have taken generations of farming families to
    develop, clear, and optimize for food production.
    When a foreign investment firm uses taxpayer-backed subsidies to buy a functional, productive dairy or grain farm and carpets it in a pinus
    radiata monoculture, that land is effectively locked out of the food
    supply chain for decades.
    Critics argue that during a time of global food insecurity and rising
    grocery prices, taking highly productive Australian soil out of
    rotation to act as a "Pollution sink" for heavy industries is a
    dangerous policy failure
    .2. Sucking regional communities dry the damage isn't just to the
    soiluit fundamentally alters the fabric of regional towns.
    The "Ghost town" effect:
    a traditional broadacre, dairy, or irrigated crop farm employs local
    workers, uses local mechanics, buys from local grain merchants, and
    supports local schools.
    The forestry reality:
    once a carbon-credit pine plantation is planted, it requires almost
    zero labor or local input for the first 15 to 25 years until harvest.
    The local families leave, businesses close, and vibrant rural
    communities slowly hollow out
    .3. Subsidizing the destruction of local agriculture what infuriates
    local farmers the most is the unfair playing field created by the
    Australian carbon credit unit (accu) scheme and entities like the
    clean energy finance corporation (cefc).Local farming families who
    want to produce food cannot compete at auction against global multi-billion-dollar asset managers.
    Because these foreign firms are backed by government green subsidies
    and the promise of lucrative carbon offsets, they can easily outbid
    local farmers, artificially driving up the price of farmland and
    locking young Australian farmers out of the market.

    Whitlam
    End of the Vietnam War
    Global Conflict End: April 30F, 1975 (Fall of Saigon).
    Election and Order: Whitlam took office on December 5, 1972, and
    immediately moved to end military conscription and withdraw the
    remaining training and advisory personnel.Final Departure: The
    absolute last elements of the Australian military left Vietnam in June
    1973

    https://share.google/aimode/M1eonZnbJP5rsUzVm
    Vietnamese refugees began taking to small boats immediately following
    the fall of Saigon in April 1975, with thousands arriving in
    neighboring Southeast Asian countries (such as Thailand, Hong Kong,
    and Malaysia) before the phenomenon famously caught wider global
    attention when the first refugee boat (Kein Giang) successfully sailed
    all the way to Darwin Harbour in Australia on 26 April 1976.

    Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was sacked on 11 November 1975 by
    Governor-General Sir John Kerr

    https://share.google/aimode/1FunPW0eZmyaUDsDE
    Australia first accepted Vietnamese refugees by boat on April 26,
    1976, when the first unregistered refugee vessel (Kien Giang) sailed
    into Darwin Harbour. Small numbers had also arrived earlier in 1975
    via specialized evacuations like Operation Babylift, but April 1976
    marks the official start of the sustained "boat people" arrivals

    Australia: Implemented its first official multicultural policies in
    1973 under the Whitlam Government, driven heavily by Immigration
    Minister Al Grassby and later shaped by sociologist Jerzy Zubrzycki
    Australia fought in the Vietnam War for 10 years, spanning from August
    1962 to December 1972.
    South Vietnam was Australia's primary ally during the conflict.
    Australian forces fought directly alongside the Army of the Republic
    of Vietnam (ARVN) against the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army.

    Whitlam said on the ABC that Australia did not want oanother
    !reactionary right-wing minorityo. Foreign minister Don Willesee
    pleaded with him to take more. Whitlam replied: oIAm not having those
    f..king Vietnamese Balts coming into this country with their religious
    and political prejudices against us.o

    Whitlam opposed the entry of Vietnamese refugees, saying they stirred
    no sympathy in him. He added: oThere will be some resentment about the
    people coming to Australia at a time of unemployment, and also people
    from a very different way of life.o

    In other words, Whitlam consciously stirred up ethnic and racial
    prejudice against Vietnamese !because he thought they might be
    politically hostile to Labor.
    https://share.google/aimode/NQjg1TDoqnQlPsyIk

    Ihe Final Evacuation Contradiction
    The final days of the Australian presence in Saigon highlight the
    deliberate nature of the policy:
    Empty RAAF Planes: When the final Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF)
    Hercules transport planes took off from Saigon, they left with dozens
    of empty seats. The pilots and embassy staff on the ground wanted to
    load them with fleeing Vietnamese allies, but strict, direct orders
    from WhitlamAs office prevented them from doing so.

    The Contrast with Fraser: The moment Malcolm Fraser took over later
    that year, he didn't need new information to act.
    The exact same intelligence briefs were available, but Fraser chose to
    act on the moral obligation, immediately launching the rescue
    operations that brought the 60,000 refugees to safety.

    The historical consensus is clear:
    Whitlam was not operating in the dark.
    He knew exactly what the consequences would be for Australia's allies,
    and he chose to let the door slam shut anyway.
    Whitlam used the same defence as G%ring, tried minimize his personal
    awareness or involvement in his mass extermination?

    <reams of repetitive ignorant shit flushed where it belongs>
    Whitlam
    End of the Vietnam War
    Global Conflict End: April 30F, 1975 (Fall of Saigon).
    Election and Order: Whitlam took office on December 5, 1972, and
    immediately moved to end military conscription and withdraw the
    remaining training and advisory personnel.Final Departure: The
    absolute last elements of the Australian military left Vietnam in June> 1973
    Nothing to do with communism
    https://share.google/aimode/M1eonZnbJP5rsUzVm
    Vietnamese refugees began taking to small boats immediately following
    the fall of Saigon in April 1975,
    Which had NOTHING to do with Whitlam's withdrawal of out troops
    with thousands arriving in
    neighboring Southeast Asian countries (such as Thailand, Hong Kong,
    and Malaysia) before the phenomenon famously caught wider global
    attention when the first refugee boat (Kein Giang) successfully sailed> all the way to Darwin Harbour in Australia on 26 April 1976.
    Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was sacked on 11 November 1975 by Governor-General Sir John Kerr
    Because Whitlam couldn't get supply thru the senate
    https://share.google/aimode/1FunPW0eZmyaUDsDE
    Australia first accepted Vietnamese refugees by boat on April 26,
    1976, when the first unregistered refugee vessel (Kien Giang) sailed
    into Darwin Harbour. Small numbers had also arrived earlier in 1975
    via specialized evacuations like Operation Babylift,
    Which had NOTHING to do with this country
    but April 1976
    marks the official start of the sustained "boat people" arrivals
    Australia: Implemented its first official multicultural policies in
    1973 under the Whitlam Government,
    Bullshit, Caldwell did that MUCH earlier than that
    driven heavily by Immigration
    Minister Al Grassby
    More mindless bullshit.
    He was actually part of that himself, due to Caldwell
    and later shaped by sociologist Jerzy Zubrzycki
    More bullshit
    Australia fought in the Vietnam War for 10 years, spanning from August> 1962 to December 1972.
    South Vietnam was Australia's primary ally during the conflict.
    More bullshit, the USA was and why we were there in the first place
    Australian forces fought directly alongside the Army of the Republic
    of Vietnam (ARVN) against the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army.> Whitlam said on the ABC that Australia did not want rCLanother
    reactionary right-wing minorityrCY. Foreign minister Don Willesee
    pleaded with him to take more. Whitlam replied: rCLIrCOm not having those f..king Vietnamese Balts coming into this country with their religious> and political prejudices against us.rCY
    Whitlam opposed the entry of Vietnamese refugees, saying they stirred
    no sympathy in him. He added: rCLThere will be some resentment about the people coming to Australia at a time of unemployment, and also people
    from a very different way of life.rCY
    In other words, Whitlam consciously stirred up ethnic and racial
    prejudice against Vietnamese because he thought they might be
    politically hostile to Labor.
    https://share.google/aimode/NQjg1TDoqnQlPsyIk
    Irrelevant to your mindless shit about communism
    Ihe Final Evacuation Contradiction
    The final days of the Australian presence in Saigon highlight the
    deliberate nature of the policy:
    Empty RAAF Planes: When the final Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF)
    Hercules transport planes took off from Saigon, they left with dozens
    of empty seats. The pilots and embassy staff on the ground wanted to
    load them with fleeing Vietnamese allies, but strict, direct orders
    from WhitlamrCOs office prevented them from doing so.
    Irrelevant to your mindless shit about communism
    The Contrast with Fraser: The moment Malcolm Fraser took over later
    that year, he didn't need new information to act.
    The exact same intelligence briefs were available, but Fraser chose to> act on the moral obligation, immediately launching the rescue
    operations that brought the 60,000 refugees to safety.
    The historical consensus is clear:
    Whitlam was not operating in the dark.
    He knew exactly what the consequences would be for Australia's allies,> and he chose to let the door slam shut anyway.
    Irrelevant to your mindless shit about communism
    Whitlam used the same defence as G||ring, tried minimize his personal awareness or involvement in his mass extermination?
    There was no mass extermination by Whitlam you pathetic excuse for a bullshit artist

    I just can't believe that I have to agree with Rod!

    Australia is in the hands of a racist

    You must be utterly blotto, Petz dear. You let your wishful thinking
    fully take over your perception of reality.

    Try to remember that your fish&chips aunty is not yet running the
    government. :-P :-P :-P

    communist

    You have no concept of what that means and that fully explains why you
    are using it indiscriminately against your political targets as if it
    was some sort of magical derogatory swearword.

    following Whitlams code blah...blah...blah...

    If you can't move on from the bloody past then buy yourself a time
    machine and transport yourself back to the days of the Inquisition where
    you'd feel yourself fully at home.

    Albanese wants to turn Riverina towns ......

    My ADS (Albanese Derangement Syndrome) detector has suddenly maxed out.

    Thus I must quote what your ex-newsgroup boifriend had to say about your
    Goon Bag juice fuelled rant:

    *"<reams of your stupid repetitive shit flushed where it belongs>"*


    Communism thrives on homeless and unemployment with crime increasing
    to record levels (this is what Communism needs and feeds on)

    BINGO!
    Who needs more proof that you have absolutely no concept of any econo-/sociopolitical ideologies, specially not communism.

    The rest of your mega-bullshit alt-right loon / fish&chips auntie
    propagated insane word salad was relegated to cyber nirvana.

    *FLUSH and SANITISE*

    Sleep off at least a part of your GoonCon 4 delirium before attempting
    to post again, Petz dear! At the moment you sound raving mad.

    Forestry, grazing, and cropping are concentrated there. Policies that
    reduce native-forest harvesting or incentivise conversion of farm land therefore fall most heavily on those communities by geography and

    Data has been used both ways: some analyses show potential ACCU

    Corporate or institutional buyers (carbon project developers, funds,

    finance improve returns.
    Reported local effects in some shires include population decline,
    fewer volunteers for community groups, and pressure on remaining
    farms. Permanence obligations and contracts can also constrain future
    land-use options and affect saleability.
    These are genuine market and policy-driven pressures, not pure
