I really friggen hope so cos she's one evil bitchWith all of that I think unemployment will most probably be on the up over and above what it is now. A lot of people are doing it tough now in Qld, mines are scaling back, lot of small industry stagnating or going backwards, here on Gold Coast Riviera gone tits up, small outlets closing down almost daily, tourism on the way down, add higher fuel plus the knock on effects of that and it's gonna get a lot tougher for a lot of peope and their families.
