Well, Australian confidence has dropped dramatically since the election of the Rudd Labor Government and since their first budget, there is a lot less confidence again. They have single handedly destroyed the solar panelling industry by putting a means test for the rebate at $100,000. Earn over it and you get no assistance. People on incomes below $100,000 do not make this market. One business lost over $500,000 within a month and retrenched 3 employees. Other solar panel companies report that majority of their business has disappeared. The governments brain dead Minister for the Environment, Peter Garrett, says that having a booming solar panel industry is bad for them. Really, what idiots!
