   Patung.
   With contradictory stats and opinions in hyperspace, what do you think is the best source for such stats?

   I thought the Prez and his boys have been telling everyone that the good fiscal and monetary management policies of the government was finally showing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow with “statistics” showing the level of poverty declining…

   Statistics, I guess, can be used anyway you want to make them show a particular point of view or outcome…

   Jakartass, no idea frankly, if internal stats then they are likely ‘fiddled’ as Rob suggests, with stats compiled overseas maybe they suffer from lack of knowledge about things here.

   Thanks guys.
   As I expected, I’ll have to rely on the above, albeit adding in extra factors such as the rapid rise in food prices which is pushing more below the poverty line.
   Ho hum.

   SBY’s last “State of the Nation” address is in English and it has figures andpolicy positions relating to poverty…I think I have a soft copy floating around. I will try and find it and email it to you!

   a change in the level of household expenditure used as the measurement for the poverty line

   I always say this.. there is poverty almost everywhere. Even the rich is poor because they don’t know how to spend their money..
