Australian Q2 capex - more (some pics .. are we at the bottom of the cliff?)

The data and my initial take is here: Australia - Capex data for Q2: Headline 0.8% (expected 0.2%)

Some pics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics:

TOTAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

--

BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES

--

EQUIPMENT, PLANT AND MACHINERY

--

MINING

--

MANUFACTURING

--

OTHER SELECTED INDUSTRIES

I want to make 2 points:

1. I said in my initial post that the bottom line is this is a good report - given the context of the capex cliff I think this report is very solid indeed when looking at the above graphs

2. 6 pics .... which at current exchange rates equate to 6,000 words, right? Longest post ever?
