The news tonight in Australia had a very different slant - tonight's finance report said yes, Australia IS feeling the impact of the US crash. I'll know more tomorrow.
And politically - just today, we just had our Opposition party change their leader. The new bloke is much more "out there" and I'm sure he is going to use this to make things very hot indeed in our own government.
This sort of thing has a knock-on effect in so many areas, right around the world.
Interesting thing - difficult child 3 has a History assessment task at the moment, on what it was like to live through the Great Depression. Australia got hit hard by it, apparently we copped it harder than just about anywhere else in the world due to where we were at the time, politically and economically. Here's hoping we don't have to experience it again.
