The headline was a huge beat: Australia Q3 Construction work done: +15.7% q/q (vs. expected -2.3%)

But as noted before and during ... its not a reliable number due to the import of LNG platform

  • After this its around +1% (still a beat ... but not nearly so much)
  • Infrastructure spending up around 6%

These are not overly confidence inspiring underlying's .... still ..... better than a poke in the eye.
