The Epoch Times: Australia Reports Lowest Quarterly Economic Growth Since September 2021
Australia’s economic growth slowed to 0.2 percent in Q1, down from 0.6 percent in the previous three months, driven by household spending cutbacks on discretionary expenses.

Unit labour costs increased by two percent in Q1 and 7.9 percent in the 12 months to March, raising concerns over the impact on interest rates, according to ANZ Bank, which predicted that the Reserve Bank will likely implement further rate hikes.

Retirees and adventure-seekers in China are embracing RVing, even with high prices up to $116k USD.
